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 Rosewood EC. TheHummingbird Standard Rosewood ECs rosewood body, paired with the Sitkaspruce top, adds a bit more bass and harmonic complexity to the legendaryHummingbird tonal recipe. Like all Hummingbirds, its more than capable of holdingdown the rhythm in the hands of a rock and roll sideman or accompanying the mostnuanced performance under the fingers of todays alternative singer-songwriter,but with the addition of the cutaway on the Hummingbird Standard Rosewood EC,the access to the upper frets is significantly increased, making this Hummingbird agreat choice for lead players and others who require increased note range andenhanced expressiveness. The Hummingbirds mahogany neck has a comfortableRound SlimTaper profile and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. This bird hasa TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins, Grover Rotomatic tuners, the iconicHummingbird graphics on the pickguard, and is equipped with L.R. Baggs VTC Hummingbird graphics on the pickguard, and is equipped with L.R.
