Gibson Hummingbird 50th Anniversary Acoustic Guitar Heritage Cherry Sunburst

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork

Introduced in 1960 to immediate raves from country, folk, blues and rock'n'roll players alike, the Gibson Hummingbird has remained an iconic acoustic for five decades. This big-bodied, square-shouldered dreadnought has been the choice of countless major artists over the years, and has been on the Top 5 Sellers list every year since Gibson launched its acclaimed Montana Division in 1989. To celebrate this legendary guitar's 50th anniversary in style, Gibson is releasing three Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Hummingbirds for the end of 2010, and all are certain to be instant collector's items.

The first of these is the 50th Anniversary 1960 Hummingbird. Built to the period-correct specs of Gibson's Montana Division's True Vintage series, it features a gorgeous Dark Heritage Cherry 1960 sunburst finish, vintage body back bracings, gold keystone kluson tuning machines, a custom mother-of-pearl "50" inlay on the headstock, a gold painted 50th Anniversary pickguard, gloss finish, and a "50th Anniversary" engraved truss-rod cover. Limited to 200 guitars worldwide, it makes a fine way to join in the celebration.
