1968 Gibson Hummingbird – £4499

NEW ARRIVAL This is a great example of a 60’s Hummingbird, and unusual to see a natural finish – the honey coloured top makes the iconic pickguard look even more striking. It’s a classic piece of Americana – Spruce over Mahogany, giving a warm, rich sound with an overall mellow vibe. The Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard feels very responsive, and the adjustable saddle allows the action to be easily tweaked. Altogether it’s a lovely guitar, very solid feeling with no cracks or repairs, just some sinkage around the soundhole which doesn’t impact the structural integrity. There’s lots of cool looking lacquer checking which add to the vintage feel. The guitar comes in a non original hard case.
