Gibson Acoustic Hummingbird Quilt Acoustic-electric Guitar - Viper Blue Reviews
Having just rounded the corner on its 61st year, the Gibson Hummingbird continues to soar as one of the most legendary acoustics of all time. In a finish that's only available at Sweetwater, this Gibson Hummingbird Quilt acoustic-electric guitar puts that classic tone, playability, and design into your hands. The Hummingbird Quilt features a solid Sitka spruce top with quilted maple back and sides for a stunning blend of punchy treble and midrange from the spruce that's held together with a rich low end from the maple back and sides — a tonal presentation that has won over countless rock legends from Keith Richards to Thom Yorke. A rounded C-shaped mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard offers impeccable playability and response — ideal for strumming big, open first-position chords and picking out intricate leads up and down the neck. Also, an onboard LR Baggs VTC pickup system delivers beautiful amplified acoustic tone when you plug in. The many Hummingbird owners here at Sweetwater can attest that this is a rare acoustic that truly offers a unique playing experience along with one-of-a-kind tone.

Great short scale Maple body dreadnought
Just received the Hummingbird quilt so the honeymoon may effect my feelings, but I am loving this guitar right out of the box. The maple gives it a little crisper brighter tone than the usual mahogany body. It is not too bright or trebly but just a little more sustain and slightly more overtone than the mahogany bodies provide. I have a Hummingbird "original" with the mahogany spruce combination and this maple/spruce is a great compliment to it. Baggs VTC makes it really come alive plugged in and the quilted maple is a lot more visible in person than in photos. The neck may look black, but it is actually the deep blue as well. Finding a maple body dread with the short scale is not easy so when I saw this I jumped on it right away and it is everything I wanted. Have been playing Gibsons for a long time so the rounded C neck, rosewood board with 12" radius is just what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier with this guitar.
