The ideal Hummingbird for beginners and seasoned players alike
The Epiphone Hummingbird™ Studio is part of the all-new Epiphone Studio Acoustic Collection. These guitars have been completely reimagined to offer the most authentic and affordable acoustic guitars inspired by iconic Gibson designs. The Hummingbird Studio offers a blend of classic design and modern functionality and was designed to appeal equally to beginners and seasoned players alike. Based on the iconic Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar that has been embraced by players across a wide range of musical genres, the Hummingbird Studio has a square shoulder dreadnought body and 24.75” scale length, just like the Gibson guitar that inspired it.
The Hummingbird Studio delivers a rich, balanced tone with excellent projection, making it an ideal choice, no matter which musical styles you want to explore. The Hummingbird Studio has a layered mahogany body with six-ply antique ivory and black binding on the top, four-ply antique ivory and black binding on the back, and a solid spruce top for a responsive, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that will sound even better as it ages. The mahogany neck is joined to the body with a glued-in tapered dovetail neck-to-body joint and features a Rounded C profile that ensures comfortable playability. The neck is topped with a bound rosewood fretboard equipped with 20 standard frets and dressed up with the classic split parallelogram inlays that are one of the hallmarks of the Hummingbird design. The other ends of the strings are routed over a compensated plastic saddle and are anchored to the belly-up rosewood bridge with ivory-colored bridge pins. We also included other details that give the Hummingbird Studio even more vintage-style visual appeal, including a Hummingbird tortoise shell-colored pickguard with the iconic Hummingbird graphics, high-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners for precise and stable tuning, and a 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock with the Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown proudly inlaid in mother of pearl.
The Hummingbird Studio comes with Fishman electronics, including an S-Core under-saddle pickup and Fishman™ Presys VT preamp with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls that are fast and easy to access for the player while remaining nearly invisible to the audience. The Epiphone Hummingbird Studio has a gloss finish and is offered in two vintage-inspired colors—Antique Natural and Heritage Cherry Sunburst. Both right and left-handed versions are available. A standard gig bag is also included.
A battery is not included. To power your pickup, you will need a 9-volt battery.
