Gibson Hummingbird 1966 Acoustic Guitar – A Rare Gem in Natural Finish!
This stunning guitar stands out as one of the few Hummingbirds available in a natural finish.

The neck has been reset, allowing for exceptional playability along the entire fretboard. The sound produced by this instrument is extraordinary and difficult to put into words.
This combination of features makes it a dream guitar – a truly rare opportunity to own a remarkable Hummingbird!
The Gibson Hummingbird is among the most iconic models from Gibson, with a roster of legendary players that includes Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, and Mick Jagger. It holds a prestigious status among acoustic guitars and is arguably the most visually stunning of all Gibson models.
This particular Gibson Hummingbird 1966 acoustic guitar has a wonderfully open and warm tone, delivering a fantastic vintage sound. It boasts a strong attack and rich bass without becoming muddy, making it one of the best-sounding Gibson dreadnought guitars we've encountered. It carries a unique character and history that is simply amazing!
In great condition and entirely original, this Hummingbird has a small crack next to the pickguard that has been professionally repaired. It offers excellent playability with low action (2.3 mm for the low E and 1.8 mm for the high e at the 12th fret) and a straight neck. A pickup (brand unknown) has been installed, and the bridge saddle has been upgraded to a bone saddle.
This Gibson Hummingbird 1966 acoustic guitar comes with a newer case for protection!
