Gibson Cherry Sunburst Hummingbird Custom 1974 with Case

Serial #- B00045

Plays well and has the usual checking in the finish as old guitars do. New bridge added a few years a go.

Played and taken care of for a fine 50 year old instrument.

With a full complement of ornate cosmetic details, the Gibson Hummingbird was Gibson's second most expensive production acoustic when it premiered in 1960. The Hummingbird deviated from older Gibson dreadnoughts designs in its use of square shoulders instead of the rounded shoulders found on models like the J-45. Largely due to its striking visual flair, the Hummingbird remains one of Gibson's most iconic acoustics.
