Gibson Custom Shop Greatest Hits Volume II Hummingbird Original Torch Ebony 4.7 #20236046

The Gibson Custom Shop Greatest Hits Volume II Hummingbird Original Torch in Ebony is a masterfully crafted acoustic that blends iconic heritage with refined Custom Shop artistry. Built in extremely limited numbers and available only through select dealers, this exclusive model captures the unmistakable spirit of Gibson’s legendary Hummingbird while elevating it with premium materials and meticulous attention to detail.

At its core, this square-shoulder dreadnought features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with a mahogany body, delivering a warm, balanced tonal character with rich lows, clear mids, and a smooth, articulate high end. The traditional X-bracing enhances resonance and projection, making it equally suited for studio work, stage performance, or intimate songwriting sessions. Finished in a stunning gloss nitrocellulose lacquer Ebony, the instrument not only looks striking but allows the wood to breathe and age gracefully over time.

The mahogany neck is carved into a comfortable round profile and joined to the body with a compound dovetail joint using hot hide glue—ensuring optimal tonal transfer and long-term stability. A rosewood fingerboard adorned with mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays provides a classic visual touch, while the 24.75" scale length and 1.725" bone nut width offer a familiar, effortless playing experience.

Premium appointments continue throughout, including a reverse belly rosewood bridge, bone saddle, and Grover Rotomatic tuners for dependable tuning stability. The iconic Hummingbird pickguard adds vintage charm, while nickel hardware complements the instrument’s timeless aesthetic.

Equipped with the L.R. Baggs Element VTC pickup system, this guitar is ready for the stage, offering natural acoustic tone with discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls.

Weighing just 4 lbs 7 oz and housed in a premium hard case, this limited-edition Hummingbird is as collectible as it is playable—a true standout piece for discerning musicians and collectors alike.
