Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson" Hummingbird 12-String Aged Cherry Sunburst
Solid 12-string dreadnought acoustic guitar with pickup system from the "Inspired by Gibson" collection
With the Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson" Hummingbird 12-StringAged Cherry Sunburst 12-string dreadnought Western guitar, traditional manufacturer Epiphone presents a faithful replica of the famous 1960s classic Hummingbird with solid wood and a powerful sound that unfolds quickly and completely thanks to a luxurious Aged Cherry Sunburst gloss finish. A fine-grained Sitka spruce top and mahogany body produce warm mids and clear trebles, making this instrument from the "Inspired by Gibson" collection excellent for expressive strumming and also fine picking. A short mahogany neck with an Indian-Laurel fingerboard allows for an obliging grip of the 20 frets, which in combination with a compensated bridge inlay and a 47.625 mm wide bone nut intonate cleanly in all registers. Like the original, the Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson" Hummingbird features Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, split-parallelogram mother-of-pearl inlays, and the signature tortoise pickguard with hummingbird that is the instrument's namesake. The electro acoustic guitar is completed with a Fishman Sonitone pickup system, which allows the natural sound to be fully appreciated even when amplified.
The 1960's classic Hummingbird from the "Inspired by Gibson" collection.
