Epiphone’s 1960 Hummingbird Reissue, crafted in collaboration with Gibson Custom, re-creates Gibson’s inaugural square-shoulder acoustic guitar with reverence to the original’s iconic design and a forward-thinking approach that gifts players an instrument built for modern performance. Featuring a solid spruce top reinforced with traditional scalloped X-bracing, solid mahogany back and sides, a 1-piece mahogany neck, and an Indian rosewood 20-fret fingerboard, the 1960 Hummingbird Reissue delivers a rich, luxurious sound with balanced tone, natural warmth, and a mature resonance courtesy of the thermal-aging process. For a modern upgrade, the 1960 Hummingbird Reissue comes equipped with an LR Baggs Element Bronze VTC electronics system that helps faithfully amplify the guitar’s organic character, whether in the studio or on the stage. To further honor the guitar’s storied history, the 1960 Hummingbird Reissue is adorned with the iconic engraved Hummingbird pickguard design, mother-of-pearl inlays, and a traditional belly-up rosewood bridge complete with a compensated bone saddle and bone pins to complement the 1.74-inch bone nut at the top of the neck.
