The Gibson Hummingbird is known for its versatility. It has always been equallywell suited for strumming first-position chords and taking the spotlight for pickinglead lines. The Hummingbird has become more versatile and expressive than everwith the introduction of the Hummingbird Standard EC. Like the HummingbirdStandard, the Hummingbird Standard ECs mahogany body and sweet, select Sitkaspruce top are more than capable of holding down the rhythm in the hands of arock and roll sideman or accompanying the most nuanced performance under thefingers of todays alternative singer-songwriter, but with the addition of the cutawayon the Hummingbird Standard EC, the access to the upper frets is significantlyincreased, making this the Hummingbird of choice for lead players and others whorequire increased note range and enhanced expressiveness. The Hummingbirdsmahogany neck has a comfortable Round SlimTaper profile and mother-of-pearlparallelogram inlays. This bird has a TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins,Grover Rotomatic tuners, the iconic Hummingbird graphics on the pickguard,and is equipped with L.R. Baggs VTC electronics, so its ready to plug in onstage or in the studio from the moment you take it out of the included hardshell stage or in the studio from the moment you take it out of the included hardshellcase.
