Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Hummingbird In Aged Cherry Sunburst Gloss

Epiphone's Inspired by Gibson range is a stunning homage to some of the most famous guitars ever made. Better yet, you get all the iconic features that made the original instruments great at a price that won't have you counting pennies.

The Hummingbird is an instantly recognisable acoustic boasting a square shoulder dreadnought shape and that pickguard. Like the Gibson J-200, it excels in big, grandiose strumming for rock and country, but also brings a more diverse wheelhouse capable of folk fingerpicking tones. A great choice for players after all-round characterful vibes.

Construction

Made of a solid mahogany and sitka spruce top, the Hummingbird relies on a tried on tested combination for its gorgeous warmth and strong acoustic projection. An acoustic for any situation. 

Attached is a comfortable rounded “C” neck with a familiar 24.74 inch scale length fretboard containing contemporary medium-jumbo frets. Embedded are classy mother of pearl split parallelogram inlays to complete the look. Hardware features gold Epiphone deluxe machine heads, an ever-reliable bone nut and saddle combo, and sleek ivory colour pins.

Electronics
