1965 Gibson Hummingbird guitar

Gibson's Hummingbird acoustic guitar debuted in the 1961 catalog but was produced as early as 1960. It featured a beautiful engraved pickguard with hummingbird motif, split parallelogram pearl fretboard inlays, a square shoulder body style, and Mahogany back and sides. Its body sound chamber was shaped specifically to enhance bass frequencies and compliment vocals from the player.
