The Hummingbird Pro Acoustic/Electric updates the '60s classic with a solid spruce top, mahogany neck and body, Grover® Rotomatic® 18:1 ratio tuners, traditional binding and pickguard historic Hummingbird, and a Fishman™ Sonitone™ pickup system.
First introduced in 1960, the square-shouldered Hummingbird guitar quickly became a classic thanks to Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, who used a Hummingbird to punctuate early Stones hits such as "Satisfaction," "Play With Fire" and “Under My Thumb.” There are also many classic photos of Keith using a Hummingbird during sessions for Exile on Main Street, Goats Head Soup, and Sticky Fingers. Today, the Hummingbird guitar is still a go-to acoustic for rockers like Noel Gallagher, Sheryl Crow, and Kid Rock when they need a rhythm guitar with smooth action and a great woody sound full of character.
On its own, the Hummingbird PRO Acoustic/Electric can lead an all-acoustic band or be the center of an evening of picking with its smooth, balanced tone. Thanks to the Fishman™ Sonitone™ mic system, the Hummingbird PRO can plug and play on any size stage.
