Gibson Hummingbird Rosewood Avant Garde 2018

The Gibson Hummingbird Avant Garde 2018 Rosewood Burst is a 6-string electro acoustic guitar featuring a spruce top, a rosewood body, a mahogany neck, a Richlite fingerboard and a rosewood burst finish. This new Hummingbird Avant Garde for 2018 features a square-shouldered dreadnought body shape that can be driven by a hard pick attack, delivering rich, deep tones, capable of handling lead-line picking too.

The Hummingbird Avant Garde is built with an attractive sitka spruce top, producing a broad dynamic range and crisp articulation, projecting a sparkling high response and tight, clear attack. Resonating well whilst remaining strong and focused, this guitar offers a clear sound with deep lows, warm midi-range and bright sparkling highs. Rosewood back and sides add a strong, clear, fundamental with a warm, earthy sound.

The Hummingbird Avant Garde's mahogany neck delivers bright characteristics with bite and sustain, whilst a silky smooth action enables a snappier attack in the mid-range with a punchy, slightly gnarly edge when driven with a hard pick attack. Topped with a Richlite fingerboard that offers a pleasing aesthetic and a balanced, unique earthy tone, this neck provides stability and a sonic warmth.

Equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element VTC Pickup featuring a low-profile undersaddle pickup and an unobtrusive and removable volume/tone control mounted just inside the soundhole, this guitar delivers a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end.
