Gibson / Hummingbird 12 String Vintage Cherry Burst / Guitar

This limited edition Gibson Hummingbird 12 string is a rare bird to say so. Gibson didn't really produce any 12-string except for an LG-2/B-25 model and a heritage model. So we began to ponder about the reason and we realised it wasn't because of the tone, because this Hummingbird 12 string sounds utterly fantastic.  This 12-string is made from the usual Hummingbird recipe of a dreadnought shape with mahogany back and sides, Sitka spruce top, mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard with a scale length of 628 mm. It has a bigger nutwidth to accomodate the extra six strings, measures 48mm and in combination with the round neck profile gives the player a very comfortable playing experience.  The sound builds on the bluesy Gibson six-string sound with the shorter scale and warm and earthy mahogany tone, but this 12-string has a much broader sound with prominent mids, high end sparkle and 12-string jangle. Not quite a Tom Petty sound though. This 12-string is a pure blues machine and shows every nuance of playing and attack. It is a bit dryer and makes you work more for it, but when you do it is totally worth it.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
