A New Take on a Classic Design
The Gibson Acoustic Hummingbird Studio gives you an updated version of Gibson’s classic square shoulder dreadnought. It has a Sitka spruce top that’s paired with walnut back and sides to produce a rich tone with a nicely balanced response. Tonally speaking, the Hummingbird Studio is a blank canvas and your playing style is a brush. Light fingerpicking produces soothing lullabies while heavy strumming creates room-filling volume for rock n’ roll. No matter what tonal shade you’re aiming for, the Hummingbird Studio covers it. And you can take its tone to the stage, courtesy of LR Baggs electronics. We know you’ll love the Gibson Acoustic Hummingbird Studio just as much as we do.

A classic neck for great playability
Upon its landing in 1960, the Gibson Hummingbird made a lasting impression for its neck design and overall playability. With the Hummingbird Studio, you get that same classic neck with a few updates. This mahogany neck features an Advanced Response profile for amazing comfort and playability. A walnut fingerboard further enhances the feel and response of a killer neck and fretboard pairing. And as with all Gibson guitars, the Hummingbird Studio receives Gibson’s Plek treatment to ensure uniform fret contour and placement, eliminating string buzz and delivering perfect playability.
Exquisite tonewoods and gorgeous design
Once you play a Hummingbird and hear it sing, you’ll understand why this guitar has earned the iconic status it holds. Many players of the Hummingbird maintain that its tonal signature is truly one of a kind. Covering low, midrange, and treble in nearly equal parts, the Hummingbird Studio is a popular choice among a variety of players across genres. It sounds excellent strummed wide open with a pick or gently plucked with the fingers, making it a solid choice for country, bluegrass, folk, or rock ‘n’ roll. And no one can ignore the visual impact of the Hummingbird with its classic square shoulder design and distinctive pickguard.
LR Baggs Element Bronze acoustic pickup system
To provide you with a natural sound that faithfully captures the true character of your guitar, Gibson selected LR Baggs’ Element Bronze electronics. The Element Bronze features a low-profile under-saddle transducer with a unique flexible sensing element, which — at only the thickness of a hair — is highly responsive to string vibrations. Unlike other under-saddle pickups, the Element Bronze does not respond to pressure, thereby eliminating the notorious piezo “quack!” Instead, you’re treated to a warm, open, and dynamic amplified acoustic tone with a delicate high end, crisp mids, and focused lows. Now, when you step onstage, you’ll never feel like you’re sacrificing your tone for the convenience of plugging in!
