Whether you are standing or sitting, this seminal square-shouldered acoustic offers a one-of-a-kind balance and feel that will ensure hours of comfortable strumming or fingerpicking. The Epiphone Hummingbird features a solid Sitka spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides for a blend of crisp high end and midrange with a rich low-end foundation. A gorgeous mahogany neck with an Indian laurel fingerboard offers incredible response and playability, whether you’re playing big open chords or quieter single-note passages. And when you are ready to plug in, the Epiphone Hummingbird’s Fishman Sonicore pickup will deliver incredible amplified acoustic tone.

A visual feast
The classic top on the Hummingbird is enhanced by an aged gloss finish, and the original art of its unmistakable pickguard is a feast for the eyes. Ivory and black binding on the back and top give the Hummingbird even more aesthetic appeal, along with the reverse-belly Indian laurel bridge with ivory pins. A crown headstock inlay is yet another detail that is a true tip of the cap to the original. Plus, deluxe tuners with press-in gold bushings look classy and keep you in tune.
Legendary neck for incredible response
The ultra-comfortable rounded “C”-profile neck on the Epiphone Hummingbird has been glued in and features a tapered dovetail neck joint. Antique ivory binding along the neck and vintage mother-of-pearl split parallelograms on the fingerboard add even more classic visual details that will delight. The Indian laurel fingerboard is incredibly smooth and responsive — it will leave you with no doubt as to why the original it was inspired by has won over a legion of guitarists.
Stellar Sonicore-powered amplified tone
The Epiphone Hummingbird features an under-saddle, piezo-wired Fishman Sonicore pickup, which translates the instrument’s tone in a pure fashion. A soundhole-mounted preamp with rotary controls for Volume and Tone gives you incredibly easy, quick access to tweak your tone — a feature guitarists here at Sweetwater find especially practical.
