For 100 years, Gibson has stood at the forefront of flat-top design—and few guitars are more closely associated with that legacy than the Hummingbird. Crafted to celebrate a century of Gibson flat-tops, the Gibson Custom Hummingbird Anniversary Limited Edition honors that remarkable heritage with premium tonewoods, vintage-inspired appointments and the unmistakable warmth and versatility that have made the Hummingbird a favorite of players across generations and musical styles. Limited to just 100 instruments worldwide as part of Gibson Custom's Anniversary Collection, it pairs mahogany back and sides with a select bear claw Sitka spruce top for rich, balanced tone and striking visual character. A mahogany neck with a bound rosewood fingerboard delivers effortless playability, while LR Baggs VTC electronics faithfully capture the guitar's natural acoustic voice for the stage and studio. Finished in a historic Cremona Burst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and adorned with the Hummingbird's iconic floral pickguard and classic Gibson appointments, this limited-edition instrument celebrates one of the most enduring acoustic designs in Gibson history.
Mahogany and Bear Claw Sitka Spruce for Classic Hummingbird Warmth
A timeless pairing of mahogany and spruce gives the Hummingbird Anniversary Limited Edition the warm, balanced voice that has defined the model for more than six decades. A select bear claw Sitka spruce top delivers exceptional clarity, dynamic range and projection, while mahogany back and sides contribute focused mids, woody warmth and a rich, even response. Combined with the Hummingbird's square-shoulder dreadnought body, these premium tonewoods produce an expressive acoustic voice equally suited to powerful strumming, delicate fingerstyle passages and vocal accompaniment.
Mahogany Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard for Effortless Playability
Crafted from mahogany and carved to a comfortable Round profile, the neck offers a relaxed, familiar feel that encourages hours of comfortable playing. The Hummingbird's 24.75" scale length lends a slightly softer string feel, while the bound rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth, responsive playing surface adorned with classic mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays. A traditional dovetail neck joint enhances resonance and sustain, while the bone nut supports clear note definition and dependable tuning performance.
LR Baggs VTC Electronics for Natural Amplified Tone
Ready for the stage straight from the factory, the Hummingbird Anniversary Limited Edition is equipped with LR Baggs VTC electronics, pairing an undersaddle piezo pickup with an active preamp for clear, natural amplified acoustic tone. Discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provide convenient access without interrupting the guitar's classic appearance, making it easy to move from intimate acoustic gigs to full-band performances while preserving the rich, dynamic voice of the instrument.
Iconic Hummingbird Appointments for Timeless Gibson Style
Finished in a historic Cremona Burst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the Hummingbird Anniversary Limited Edition pairs vintage-inspired elegance with one of Gibson's most recognizable acoustic aesthetics. Multi-ply top binding accented with abalone, matching multi-ply back binding and an abalone rosette frame the premium tonewoods, while the celebrated Hummingbird pickguard showcases its signature hummingbird, butterfly and floral artwork. A rosewood belly-up bridge with pyramid-carved wings, gold Grover keystone tuners and the vintage script-style "The Gibson" logo complete a presentation worthy of this extraordinary anniversary instrument. Each guitar includes a Gibson Custom hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
