Description

The Gibson Custom Dealer Select Hummingbird Standard Red Spruce is an exclusive, handcrafted expression of one of Gibson’s most iconic acoustics—built specifically for Guitar Center with upgraded Adirondack red spruce, premium appointments and a breathtaking Cobra Burst finish. Combining the bold, unmistakable voice of a square-shoulder dreadnought with Custom Shop attention to detail, this limited-edition Hummingbird delivers exceptional dynamic range, nuanced articulation and stage-ready versatility. With its classic mahogany body, vintage-inspired neck carve and LR Baggs Element VTC electronics, it’s designed for players who want the soul of a heritage model elevated through boutique-level tonewoods and craftsmanship.

Adirondack Red Spruce Top With Iconic Square-Shoulder Power

This exclusive Hummingbird starts with an Adirondack red spruce top—one of Gibson’s most premium and historically revered soundboard materials. Known for its explosive headroom, quick response and rich harmonic bite, Adirondack red spruce brings a more dynamic, expressive feel than the Sitka spruce tops typically found on standard Hummingbird models. Paired with traditional square-shoulder dreadnought geometry and Gibson’s top voicing, the result is a powerful yet sensitive instrument capable of shimmering detail, resonant mids and authoritative strumming projection. Cream binding on the top and back frames the body with vintage correctness, further enhancing the classic Hummingbird aesthetic.

Mahogany Back and Sides for Warmth, Balance and Depth

The back and sides are crafted from mahogany, a tonewood cherished for its warm low end, singing midrange and naturally balanced character. This pairing with Adirondack spruce yields the quintessential Hummingbird sound: warm and woody for fingerstyle, focused for recording and bold enough for full strumming. The mahogany body also contributes to the guitar’s quick, responsive attack—ideal for players who want a dreadnought that cuts through the mix without losing musicality or nuance. Together, these tonewoods create a versatile, expressive voice suited for modern singer-songwriters, classic Americana players and acoustic performers of all styles.

Comfortable Mahogany Neck With Rosewood Fingerboard

A comfortable mahogany neck carved in a classic rounded profile delivers a familiar, inviting feel, while the 24.75" scale length adds warmth and supple playability. The rosewood fingerboard features a smooth 12" radius for effortless fretting and confident bends, complemented by mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays that echo the timeless Hummingbird look. A bone-like TUSQ nut provides stable resonance and precise intonation, and the rosewood bridge completes the warm, organic tonal foundation. Whether you're playing delicate passages or driving hard rhythms, the neck and fingerboard combo offers exceptional stability and comfort across every register.

Premium Appointments and Stage-Ready LR Baggs Electronics

This limited-edition model is fitted with Grover Rotomatic tuners for rock-solid tuning stability and smooth adjustment, along with nickel hardware that enhances its vintage character. The tortoiseshell Hummingbird pickguard brings classic Gibson flair, while the eye-catching Cobra Burst finish sets this Guitar Center exclusive apart from any standard production model. Onstage, the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system delivers natural, dynamic amplified tone with easy onboard volume and tone shaping, making this Hummingbird as inspiring plugged in as it is acoustically. Every detail—from the belly-up rosewood bridge to the bound body edges—reflects Gibson’s commitment to premium craftsmanship.
