The Gibson Advanced Jumbo is a re-creation of the limited-production original that has been a collector's item since the late '30s. Features a hand-selected Sitka Spruce top; '30s-style rosewood open-slot vintage bridge; mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, inlaid MOP arrows, and Gibson logo; vintage firestripe pickguard; and solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Its notable tone and projection are credited to special top bracing, its long scale, and sloped-shoulder body.

A guitar at the leading edge of the acoustic folk boom of the late ’50s and ’60s, the Hummingbird was also at the forefront of an entirely new breed of flat-top dreadnought for Gibson. Introduced in 1960 by a company long famous for its “round-shouldered” dreadnoughts such as the J-45 and Southern Jumbo, this big, 16 1/4”-wide square-shouldered dreadnought hit the competition straight on, and became an instant classic in the process.
Since its introduction in 1960, the original Hummingbird has been one of Gibson Acoustic’s most enduring models. The new Hummingbird True Vintage is a tribute to the icon of Gibson’s square-shoulder dreadnought acoustic line. While the original Hummingbird has evolved over the years to reflect critical advances in acoustic guitar making, the Hummingbird True Vintage is a throwback to the way the instrument looked and played in 1960, satisfying the demands of even the most discriminating vintage guitar buyers.
Introduced in 1960 to immediate raves from country, folk, blues and rock'n'roll players alike, the Gibson Hummingbird has remained an iconic acoustic for five decades. This big-bodied, square-shouldered dreadnought has been the choice of countless major artists over the years, and has been on the Top 5 Sellers list every year since Gibson launched its acclaimed Montana Division in 1989. To celebrate this legendary guitar's 50th anniversary in style, Gibson released the 50th Anniversary 1960 Hummingbird. Built to the period-correct specs of Gibson's Montana Division's True Vintage series, it features a gorgeous Dark Heritage Cherry 1960 sunburst finish, vintage body back bracings, gold keystone kluson tuning machines, a custom mother-of-pearl "50" inlay on the headstock, a gold painted 50th Anniversary pickguard, gloss finish and a "50th Anniversary" engraved truss-rod cover. Limited to 200 guitars worldwide, it makes a fine way to join in the celebration.
