While the Gibson Hummingbird continues to soar as one of the most legendary acoustics of all time, the Hummingbird Standard EC puts classic tone, playability, and design into your hands with one historic change: a modern cutaway for elite navigation and comfort. This handsome acoustic features a solid Sitka spruce top for a stunning blend of punchy treble and midrange, held together with a rich low end from the mahogany back and sides — a tonal presentation that has won over countless rock legends from Keith Richards to Thom Yorke. A rounded neck with a 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 a beautiful amplified acoustic tone when you plug in. The many Hummingbird Standard EC owners here at Sweetwater can attest this is a rare acoustic that truly offers a unique playing experience along with one-of-a-kind tone.
