Accessible iterations of Gibson’s legendary models

What makes this Hummingbird so special? First, the Hummingbird Special wears an ultra-thin satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish compared to the gloss finish of Gibson Acoustic’s standard lineup. In fact, this is far from a purely cosmetic appointment, as legions of discerning strummers champion satin finishes. Why? They’re often far thinner and more responsive than a full gloss coat. Furthermore, the Hummingbird Special sports a slightly reduced concert-size body depth, resulting in a tighter bass response that allows its voice to slot seamlessly into any mix.
