For the player who has always wanted the unmistakable character of a USA-made Hummingbird in a streamlined, performance-ready package, the Gibson Hummingbird Special carries one of Gibson's most recognizable acoustic stories into a more accessible design. First introduced in 1960, the Hummingbird became famous for its square-shoulder silhouette, warm voice, and bold visual identity, finding a home in country, folk, rock, and singer-songwriter music for generations. Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, this Hummingbird Special preserves that heritage while introducing a slightly thinner concert-depth body for a comfortable feel and a tighter, more focused low end. Available now at Haggerty's Music in Satin Vintage Cherry Sunburst, it includes a premium soft shell case for protection and transport.

The Hummingbird Special's solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides create a classic acoustic pairing with a balanced personality: spruce contributes clarity, headroom, and dynamic range, while mahogany supplies warmth, woody mids, and a strong fundamental. Traditional scalloped X-bracing allows the top to respond freely, while the shallower concert-depth body tightens the bass response compared with a full-depth Hummingbird Standard. That makes this model especially useful for vocal accompaniment, recording, ensemble playing, and situations where an acoustic needs to occupy its own space without overwhelming the mix. The 24.75" scale and rounded utile neck provide a relaxed playing feel, complemented by a 12" radius rosewood fingerboard and the pearloid parallelogram inlays that immediately connect the Special to the Hummingbird lineage.

When it's time to move from the living room to the stage, the Hummingbird Special is already equipped for the job. An L.R. Baggs Element Bronze under-saddle pickup and active preamp capture the guitar through a straightforward system with a discreet soundhole-mounted volume control, keeping the focus on playing rather than complicated electronics. A traditional rosewood belly-up bridge, TUSQ nut, saddle and bridge pins, and Grover Rotomatic tuners round out a practical hardware package, while the simplified tortoise Hummingbird pickguard retains one of the model's signature visual cues. Warm and woody when played gently yet capable of clear, confident projection under a pick, the Hummingbird Special is a compelling choice for country, Americana, folk, rock, worship, singer-songwriter work, recording, and live performance.
