Gibson Hummingbird Koa Carpathian Spruce

Carpathian Spruce and Solid Koa: The Hummingbird in its Most Exceptional Wood Combination

For over sixty years, the Gibson Hummingbird has been a reference point in the world of acoustic guitars. This version, featuring a Carpathian spruce top and solid koa back and sides, elevates that legacy to a new level. Carpathian spruce is one of the most coveted tonewoods in the world, known for its exceptional stiffness and low density. Koa adds warmth, shimmer, and a visual richness that immediately sets this Hummingbird apart.

The sound is surprisingly open and detailed. The Carpathian spruce top responds quickly and precisely, with clear attack and a rich overtone structure that particularly rewards fingerpicking. The koa back and sides add silky warmth to the midrange and a shimmering presence in the high registers. Together, they create a tone that is both intimate and projecting. The LR Baggs VTC pickup faithfully captures all of this for amplified use.

The mahogany neck features a Round-Taper profile with an ebony fretboard, 16-inch radius, and 20 frets. The distinctive parallelogram inlays and Hummingbird pickguard complete the iconic look. Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners ensure stable tuning. Comes with a Gibson hardshell case.
