Description
Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 1998 Gibson Early 60’s Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar with a Heritage Cherry Finish! From a company that has brought the guitar world so many great originals, the Hummingbird stands out loud and proud. Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square-shouldered dreadnaught, 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. Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. However you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones, and is equally at home thrumming out first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for flatpicking leadlines further up the neck. Its spacious mahogany body and sweet, select Sitka spruce top are more than capable of nailing down the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman, or of accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today’s alternative singer-songwriter. This guitar is in great shape with light hardware tarnish, finish checks and several indents and marks, rated at 8/10. All original with an added strap button and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case and a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net!
