Revolutionary electronics. Majestic live performance. The Gibson Hummingbird M comes equipped with the popular VTC pickup from LR Baggs. Perfect for professionals, this is a high-quality LR Baggs system with a meticulous, painstaking design that makes it incredibly responsive to your playing.
The LR Baggs VTC was inspired by the magic created in some of Nashville's legendary studios. Capturing this magic, they bring you electronics that make any live setting a joy to play. Natural, rich, dynamic. And, it features a low-profile undersaddle pickup that's proven more stable and durable than standard ribbon-type pickups. With an unobtrusive design and removable volume/tone mounted just within the soundhole, the VTC and the Parlor Walnut together are an unmistakable combination. It can only be Gibson.
Mindful of the modern player. Although many musicians love that old-school feel, we don't appreciate the lack of comfort as guitarists. So, to meet your needs for comfort and smooth playability, Gibson ensures long, enduring sets, and studio sessions are now a breeze to play. This is thanks to Gibson's advanced response neck profile. It not only provides comfort in each position up and down the neck, but it comes with a flatter fingerboard radius. This allows you to achieve string bends and play with iconic style in the 21st century. A classic Gibson sound - but with playability made for you, the modern musician.
Strong sound from its very core. The Gibson Hummingbird M features Gibson's traditional, hand-scalloped advanced X-bracing. Acoustic guitars constructed with an 'X' shape formed across the soundboard have stunningly even tone. This means that no matter the pitch you're playing at, everything you play will be delivered with magnificent definition and clarity.
This is a painstaking process. Each and every hand-scalloped Gibson is hand-made. It requires much more time and effort to construct a guitar in this manner, but the results are sensational. Furthermore, the X-bracing adds structural integrity to the instrument. This increases durability and ensures your timeless acoustic lasts as long as possible. Time enduring quality.
