The Gibson Hummingbird Standard 5A Flame acoustic-electric guitar is a limited-edition model that provides vintage tone and premium aesthetics. With a solid Sitka spruce top and figured maple back and sides, the Hummingbird 5A produces a bold, balanced sound with impressive bass response and crisp highs. The short 24.75" scale mahogany neck offers a familiar feel, while the rosewood fingerboard delivers smooth playability. For versatility, the Hummingbird 5A includes a L.R. Baggs Element pickup system so you can plug in for live performance or recording.

Resonant Tonewood Construction

The Hummingbird 5A's all-solid wood construction using first-grade tonewoods results in a resonant, full-bodied voice. The Sitka spruce top responds with a wide dynamic range, complemented by the figured maple back and sides that provide warmth and articulation. Together, these premium woods create the balanced, projecting tone the Hummingbird is known for.

Vintage-Inspired Aesthetics

With its square-shouldered dreadnought body, engraved hummingbird motif and classic sunburst finish, the Hummingbird 5A exudes vintage appeal. The tortoiseshell pickguard, mother-of-pearl crown headstock inlay and deco-inspired fingerboard inlays complete the retro look. The authentic aesthetics evoke Gibson's renowned 1950s models, inspiring you to play everything from folk to country to rock.

Versatile Tone Control

The L.R. Baggs Element pickup system gives you total control over your amplified tone. Blended with the Hummingbird 5A's resonant acoustic voice, the Element pickup accurately conveys the guitar's full frequency range. An onboard preamp provides bass, mid and treble EQ for shaping your tone to suit any musical situation. You'll appreciate the ability to plug in for live shows, recording or jamming along to your favorite songs.
