Description

Making its debut in 1960, the Hummingbird arrived at the forefront of a musical revolution, quickly becoming a favorite among the era’s most influential artists as Gibson’s inaugural square-shoulder model. To capture the authentic aesthetic and tonal response of those early legends, this 1960 Hummingbird is constructed with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top. Each instrument undergoes the Murphy Lab Light Aged finish process, performed by expert artisans to replicate the look and touch of a vintage piece. By combining this specialized finish with lightly aged hardware, the guitar perfectly mirrors the subtle play wear of a well-loved instrument, providing the distinct vibe, personality, and physical sensation of an original from Gibson’s Golden Era.
