Epiphone Hummingbird Studio Faded Cherry

First introduced in 1960, the square-shouldered Hummingbird quickly became a classic thanks to Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, who used a Hummingbird for Rhythm on early Stones hits like "Satisfaction", "Play With Fire" and "Under My Thumb". There are also many classic photographs of Keith using a Hummingbird on sessions for “Exile on Main Street”, “Goat’s Head Soup” and “Sticky Fingers”. Today, the Hummingbird 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 superb Woody Tone that’s full of character.

This chic replica of the legendary Hummingbird, the Epiphone Hummingbird Studio Faded Cherry, is an electro acoustic guitar in versatile dreadnought construction with the characteristic Hummingbird pickguard. Due to its solid spruce top the instrument produces a clear and bright sound, which is perfectly complemented by the warm and expressive bass frequencies of the laminated mahogany body. The flat mahogany neck with Pau Ferro fretboard and parallelogram inlays offers the player an extremely comfortable playing feel and, thanks to the narrow nut width of 42.9 mm, easy fingering in all 20 frets. For use on stage, a Fishman Sonitone pickup system is built into the multi-faceted instrument, which amplifies the acoustic sound in a very natural way. Smooth-running Grover nickel tuners in combination with the typical Epiphone headstock and a noble Faded Cherry Sunburst finish perfectly round off the Epiphone Hummingbird Studio Faded Cherry in its aesthetics.
