Epiphone Hummingbird Pro Acoustic Electric
6-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Solid Spruce Top, Mahogany Back and Sides, Mahogany Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and Shadow ePerformer Preamp – Faded Cherry Sunburst
The Epiphone Hummingbird PRO Acoustic/Electric guitar brings the legendary country/rock “Hummingbird” into the 21st century with the new Shadow ePerformer preamp and Shadow NanoFlex pickup system.
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 Richards using a Hummingbird on sessions for Exile on Main Street, Goats 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 thats 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.
