Gibson Hummingbird

1976 Gibson Hummingbird

This Hummingbird was made with a redburst finish and in natural. Gibson first released the Gibson Hummingbird in 1961. It was their first square-shoulder dreadnought model (as opposed to their slope-shoulder dreadnoughts like the J-45 and 50). The square shoulders, the flashy pickguard design, and the shorter scale neck (as opposed to a Martin or a Gibson SJ-200) made a real splash in the guitar world.
