With the Epiphone “Inspired by Gibson” Hummingbird ACH Aged Cherry Sunburst dreadnought acoustic guitar, traditional manufacturer Epiphone presents a faithful replica of the famous 1960s classic Hummingbird with all solid wood and a powerful sound that unfolds quickly and completely thanks to a wafer-thin Aged Cherry Sunburst gloss finish. A fine-grained Sitka spruce top and a mahogany body produce warm mids and clear trebles, making this instrument from the “Inspired by Gibson” collection excellent for expressive strumming and also fine picking. A short mahogany neck with an Indian-Laurel fretboard allows for an obliging grip of the 20 frets, which in combination with a compensated saddle and a 43 mm wide bone nut intonate cleanly in all registers. Like the original, the Epiphone Hummingbird features gold keystone tuners, split-parallelogram mother-of-pearl inlays and the signature tortoise pickguard with hummingbird that gives the instrument its name. The “Inspired by Gibson” Hummingbird ACH Aged Cherry Sunburst acoustic guitar is completed with a Fishman Sonitone pickup system, which allows the natural sound to be fully appreciated even when amplified.
