The Hummingbird Studio Acoustic/Electric updates the legendary 1960s classic with a solid spruce top, mahogany body and neck, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with an 18:1 ratio, traditional binding, the iconic Hummingbird pickguard, and Fishman™ Sonitone™ electronics.
First introduced in 1960, the square-shouldered Hummingbird quickly became a classic thanks to Keith Richards, who used one for rhythm on early Rolling Stones hits such as Satisfaction, Play With Fire, and Under My Thumb. There are also countless iconic photos of Keith playing a Hummingbird during sessions for albums like Exile on Main Street, Goats Head Soup, and Sticky Fingers. Today, the Hummingbird remains a go-to acoustic for artists including Noel Gallagher, Sheryl Crow, and Kid Rock when they need a rhythm guitar with smooth action and a woody, character-rich tone.
On its own, the Hummingbird Studio Acoustic/Electric can anchor a full acoustic band or shine at the center of a picking session with its sweet, balanced voice. Equipped with the Fishman™ Sonitone™ pickup system, it easily plugs in and confidently holds its own on any stage size.
