Few acoustic guitars carry the same legendary presence as the Gibson Hummingbird. Since its introduction in 1960, this model has earned a place in the canon of folk, country, rock, and singer?songwriter history thanks to its unmistakable square?shouldered shape, ornate aesthetic, and warm, expressive voice. The Hummingbird Special continues that tradition while offering players a more accessible entry point into the iconic design, all while remaining handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana by Gibson’s renowned acoustic luthiers.

What sets the Hummingbird Special apart is its combination of tradition and modern comfort. The slightly thinner “concert depth” body preserves the Hummingbird’s rich, balanced tonal signature but tightens up the low end for a cleaner, more controlled response — perfect for recording, stage work, or ensemble playing where clarity matters. The solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides deliver warmth, punch, and excellent dynamic range, making the guitar equally suited for strumming, flatpicking, and melodic fingerstyle. With its smooth Round?profile utile neck, dovetail joint, and hide?glue construction, the instrument feels alive in the hands and plays effortlessly up and down the fretboard.

Visually, the Hummingbird Special honors its lineage with pearloid parallelogram inlays and a simplified version of the iconic pickguard artwork, all wrapped in a luxurious satin Wine Red nitrocellulose finish. And thanks to the onboard L.R. Baggs Element Bronze electronics with soundhole?mounted volume control, it’s ready to shine in both studio and live environments. Whether you’re a longtime admirer of the Hummingbird or discovering it for the first time, the Hummingbird Special offers the soul of a classic in a refined, stage?ready package. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
