The look and feel of a well-loved vintage icon

Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square-shoulder acoustic guitar, the Hummingbird™ arrived at the dawn of a new era in music and was rapidly embraced by the prime movers on the scene. The 1960 Hummingbird Heavy Aged from Gibson Custom brings back the magic of those very first Hummingbird models for today’s players to enjoy. Built with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top that is supported with Gibson’s traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing for vintage-inspired tone, the 1960 Hummingbird Heavy Aged reflects the appearance and performance of those early icons. It features a mahogany neck with a round profile and a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint that is set using hot hide glue, a bound Indian rosewood fretboard with a 24.75” (628.65 mm) scale length, 12” fretboard radius, mother of pearl Parallelogram inlays, and 20 standard frets. The solid mahogany back and sides feature multi-ply top and back binding. The 1960 Hummingbird Heavy Aged is equipped with a fixed bone bridge, bone nut, and bone bridge pins, the instantly-identifiable casted Hummingbird pickguard with its famous Hummingbird graphics, and smooth-turning, gold Gotoh® tuners with Keystone buttons for great vintage-style looks and solid tuning stability. It has been masterfully aged by the artisans of the Murphy Lab to give it the look and feel of a long-cherished musical companion. Expect a heavy weather-checked finish, heavy belt buckle wear, light arm wear, and light neck wear. Here’s your chance to own one of Gibson’s most coveted vintage acoustic guitar models, with all the tone, vibe, playability, and appearance of a well-seasoned vintage original without the vintage price tag and potential issues that can accompany a sixty-year-old guitar. A period-correct black with goldenrod interior hardshell case from Gibson Custom is included, along with a certificate of authenticity.
