Gibson Hummingbird Special Satin Ebony

Overview

The Gibson Hummingbird Special Satin Ebony offers a streamlined take on the square-shoulder Hummingbird, combining traditional construction with a more player-focused design. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, it delivers a warm, balanced tone with strong midrange presence and a controlled low end that sits well in a mix.

A slightly thinner “concert depth” body makes it more comfortable to hold while tightening the bass response for improved clarity. The Round profile neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a familiar, substantial feel, while the L.R. Baggs Element Bronze pickup makes it ready for stage or studio use with simple, unobtrusive controls.
