Gibson Custom Shop Hummingbird Anniversary Limited Edition Cremona Burst #21986036

The Gibson Custom Shop Hummingbird Anniversary Limited Edition in Cremona Burst is a beautifully refined interpretation of one of Gibson's most celebrated acoustic designs. Its Hummingbird body is crafted with a Bearclaw Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, and finished in a deep, elegant gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. Multi-ply binding frames the body, while the tortoiseshell Hummingbird pickguard and gold-finished appointments add a timeless visual character. At just 4 lbs 11 oz, it has an exceptionally comfortable feel while retaining the presence and resonance expected from a premium Gibson acoustic.

The Mahogany neck features a comfortable Round profile and a 24.75 inch scale length, paired with a 12 inch radius Rosewood fingerboard and Standard frets. Mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays provide the familiar Gibson elegance, while the bone nut and bone saddle contribute to the instrument's natural response and clarity. A traditional dovetail neck joint ties the construction together, giving the guitar the organic feel and resonance that players have long associated with finely crafted acoustic instruments.

Tonally, the Hummingbird is equipped with an L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup, controlled by a simple volume and tone configuration that preserves the straightforward character of the instrument. The Belly Up bridge features TUSQ bridge pins, while Grover Keystone tuning machines provide reliable tuning stability. Strung with .012, .016, .024, .032, .042, and .053 gauge strings, the guitar offers a balanced response that can move gracefully from delicate fingerstyle passages to full, resonant strumming, with the Bearclaw Spruce top bringing an added sense of visual and tonal character.

Completed in Cremona Burst and accompanied by its Gibson Hardshell case and Gibson Custom Certificate of Authenticity, this Anniversary Limited Edition Hummingbird is a particularly special expression of the classic design. The combination of Bearclaw Spruce, Mahogany construction, Rosewood appointments, traditional Gibson craftsmanship, and the distinctive Cremona Burst finish gives it a presence that feels both historic and individual. Model MCSSHBBCCB, it is an instrument built to be admired in the hands, heard in the room, and cherished for years to come.
