Gibson Hummingbird Standard Rosewood Left-handed Electro Acoustic Guitar with Baggs HiFi DNA in Rosewood Burst

The Gibson Hummingbird Standard Rosewood Left-handed brings the legendary square-shouldered workhorse into a richer, darker tonal world, perfectly voiced for southpaw players. With a solid Sitka spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides and the superb Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, it delivers that classic Hummingbird balance with added low-end depth, lush overtones and a beautifully natural amplified sound.

From intimate fingerstyle to big, open strummed chords, this Hummingbird responds with nuance and authority. A comfortable Round mahogany neck, Indian rosewood fretboard and shorter 24.75-inch scale make it an inspiring companion for long sessions, while the Rosewood Burst finish, ornate pickguard and mother-of-pearl inlays ensure it looks every bit as special as it sounds.

Classic Hummingbird Feel, Enhanced with Rosewood

The Hummingbird Standard Rosewood retains the iconic square-shoulder body shape and familiar feel that has made the model a studio and stage staple for decades. The move to solid rosewood back and sides adds a richer low-end response and increased harmonic complexity, giving chords more depth and single notes extra bloom. You still get the Hummingbird’s renowned balance across the strings, but with a more luxurious, piano-like character that suits modern singer-songwriters, folk, country and beyond.

Responsive Sitka Spruce Top with Scalloped Bracing

A solid Sitka spruce top sits at the heart of the guitar’s voice, chosen for its dynamic range and clarity. Scalloped X-bracing helps the top move more freely, maximising resonance and projection whether you are playing softly with your fingers or digging in with a pick. The result is a guitar that feels alive under the hands, rewarding subtle touch and making it easy to sit perfectly in a mix without getting lost or overpowering other instruments.

Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup for Natural Amplified Tone

For live performance and recording, the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system captures the guitar’s acoustic character with impressive realism. Two lightweight sensors mounted to the bridge plate feed individually optimised preamps, delivering a full-bodied, natural sound with excellent gain-before-feedback. Because the system does not rely on an under-saddle element, it leaves the unplugged tone untouched. Discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls keep your stage setup simple while remaining almost invisible to the audience.

Comfortable Playability and Timeless Detailing

The mahogany neck with a Round profile offers a reassuringly solid yet comfortable feel, ideal for both chord work and melodic lines. A bound Indian rosewood fretboard with a 12-inch radius and 20 standard frets provides a smooth playing surface, adorned with mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays for that unmistakable Gibson look. A TUSQ nut, TUSQ saddle and TUSQ bridge pins work together with the rosewood reverse-belly bridge and Grover Rotomatic tuners for stable tuning and consistent intonation, while the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish and classic Hummingbird pickguard artwork complete a truly iconic aesthetic.

• Solid Rosewood Back and Sides - The rosewood body delivers a richer low-end response and enhanced harmonic complexity, giving chords extra depth and sustain. This creates a distinctive voice that remains balanced across the spectrum, ideal for players who want a more luxurious take on the classic Hummingbird sound.
• Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System - The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system uses dual bridge-plate sensors and dedicated preamps to capture the guitar’s natural acoustic character. You get a full, realistic amplified tone with excellent feedback resistance, plus discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls for quick adjustments on stage.
• Comfortable Round Neck and Short Scale - A mahogany neck with a Round profile and a 24.75-inch scale length offers an inviting, slightly slinkier feel. Chords are easier to fret, bends feel smoother and long sets are less fatiguing, making this an excellent choice for dedicated performers and songwriters.
• Iconic Hummingbird Styling in Rosewood Burst - The Rosewood Burst finish, multi-ply body binding and tortoiseshell-style pickguard with classic Hummingbird artwork create an unmistakable visual statement. Mother-of-pearl Gibson and crown headstock inlays, along with parallelogram fretboard markers, ensure the guitar looks every bit as premium as it sounds.
