The Story

Montana Hummingbird Custom Acoustic Guitar Heritage Cherry Sunburst

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 several prime movers on the scene. In the hands of everyone from Keith Richards to Gram Parsons, it quickly proved itself equally adept at folk, country, and rock, and excelled at many of the crossovers genres in between that helped to set the scene for the ’60s.

This is the Hummingbird Custom, which sees the already beautiful model in it's nicest suit with abalone top inlays, pieces of quilted maple for the back and sides, and Hummingbird inlays on the rosewood bridge. An ornate instrument for any Humminbird enthusiast.

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
