The Epiphone Hummingbird PRO Faded Cherry Burst Acoustic Electric is a faithful reproduction one of the most instantly recognizable acoustic guitars of all time; and now updated for the 21st century with the new Shadow ePerformer preamp and Shadow NanoFlex pickup system. Equally at home in the studio or on stage, the Mahogany body of this beauty matched with a solid Spruce top make it not only visually stunning, but aurally beautiful too!
First introduced in 1960, the square shouldered Hummingbird quickly became a classic thanks to Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, who used a Hummingbird for rhythm on early Stones hits like “Satisfaction,” “Play With Fire,” and “Under My Thumb.” There are also many classic photographs of Keith using a Hummingbird on sessions for Exile on Main Street, Goat’s Head Soup, and Sticky Fingers. Today, the Hummingbird is still a go-to acoustic for rockers like Noel Gallagher, Sheryl Crow, and Kid Rock when they need a rhythm guitar with smooth action and superb “woody” tone that’s full of character.
On its own, the Hummingbird PRO Acoustic/Electric can drive an all-acoustic band or be front and center at a picking party with its sweet, balanced tone. Now with the Shadow™ ePerformer™ preamp and Shadow NanoFlex™ pickup system, The Hummingbird PRO can plug-in and hold its own on any size stage. Though there are many guitars that claim to be “historic” or “vintage” styled, only one comes with a Limited Lifetime Guarantee and Gibson 24/7/365 customer service and the experience of a century of guitar making. Go with the best. Visit your Authorized Epiphone Dealer and plug in with an Epiphone Hummingbird PRO Acoustic/Electric today.
