Key Features
The Gibson Hummingbird Standard in Purple Burst is a bold reimagining of one of the world’s most iconic acoustics. Its mahogany body and select Sitka spruce top create a warm and resonant sound with plenty of depth, while the rounded mahogany neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard make it a joy to play. Classic mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays bring that timeless Gibson style, while the Purple Burst finish adds a modern edge that’s guaranteed to turn heads. From delicate fingerpicking to driving rhythm, this guitar responds with clarity, character, and power.
Equipped with L.R. Baggs VTC electronics, the Hummingbird Standard is ready for the stage or studio straight out of the included hardshell case. The discreet soundhole-mounted controls make it easy to dial in your tone without losing the guitar’s vintage look. Grover Rotomatic tuners, a TUSQ nut and saddle, and a reverse belly rosewood bridge keep things rock solid for tuning stability and sustain. With its unmistakeable tone, iconic pickguard design, and stunning Purple Burst finish, the Hummingbird Standard is built to inspire players and stand out wherever it’s played.

The Gibson Hummingbird Standard delivers the kind of rich, open voice players reach for during sessions and on stages. A mahogany body paired with a select Sitka spruce top gives you warm lows, a sweet, singing midrange, and plenty of projection for strummed chords or articulate single-note lines. It’s the classic Hummingbird recipe, tuned for balance and depth, and it’s exactly why this model has been a go-to across genres for decades.
A rounded mahogany neck makes chord work feel relaxed and fluid, while the 24.75" scale and Indian rosewood fingerboard help bends and vibrato feel right under the fingers. Mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays keep the look authentically Gibson, and the compound dovetail neck joint enhances resonance and sustain so notes bloom without extra effort. It’s a neck that feels broken-in on day one and stays comfy throughout long sets.
LR Baggs VTC electronics bring a natural, gig-ready sound when you plug in, with discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone so you can tweak on the fly without breaking the vintage vibe. TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins work with Grover Rotomatic tuners to lock in tuning stability and consistent response, letting you focus on the music instead of keeping things in tune.
The Purple Burst finish sets off the Hummingbird’s signature pickguard artwork, nickel hardware, and crisp 5-ply/3-ply binding for a look that’s equal parts classic and modern. A reverse belly rosewood bridge anchors sustain and intonation, and the guitar ships in a fitted hardshell case so it’s road-safe from day one. It’s a standout instrument that looks as good as it sounds, on stage or in the studio.
