Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square-shoulder acoustic guitar, 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 Heavy Aged reflects the appearance and performance of those early icons. Featuring a mahogany neck with an Indian rosewood fretboard, a fixed bone bridge, bone nut, and bone bridge pins, the famous casted Hummingbird pickguard, and gold Gotoh tuners with Keystone buttons, it’s been masterfully aged by the artisans of the Murphy Lab to give it the look and feel of a long-cherished musical companion.
