Guitar players got their first experience with the Gibson Hummingbird in 1960, when it was introduced. Its still highly regarded today, 49 years later. It has a square shoulder, dreadnought design. As guitar making has evolved, the design of the Hummingbird has had a few tweaks (but not many). Gibson offers a model called the Hummingbird True Vintage which is built the specifications of the original Hummingbirds made back in 1960. They also offer a modern version of the guitar known as the Custom Koa. All of these guitars are a beautiful sight. The Sunburst finish was used on most of the Gibson Hummingbird guitars that have been produced, but there have been some made with a natural finish.
There isn't much sense in reading about a guitar though. The true test is obviously how it sounds. Fortunately, there are some very talented guitar players who have shared their playing on the Internet. Here are a couple of great demonstrations of how great these guitars sound when they are played by someone who knows what they are doing! I can always use as many Guitar Tips as I can get.
This first video features a cover of the Beatles song "Blackbird". It is being played on a 1975 Gibson Hummingbird (and the guy can sing pretty well too).
This video shows another very talented guitar player performing the unplugged version of "Layla".
