The Story

1960 Hummingbird Murphy Lab Heritage Cherry Sunburst Light Aged

Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square-shouldered dreadnought, the Hummingbird arrived at the dawn of a new era in music, and was rapidly embraced by the prime movers on the scene. Built with a Thermally Aged sitka spruce top, the 1960 Hummingbird reflects the appearance and performance of those early icons, and with the addition of the light aging finish treatment from the talented people in the Murphy Lab, the guitar looks and feels the part just as much as it sounds it!

Includes: Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity
