The Hummingbird Studio EC continues Gibson’s long history of producing world-famous square shoulder body designs and now offers players even more expressive possibilities with a cutaway mahogany body paired with a Sitka spruce top that delivers improved upper fret access. The utile neck features a rosewood fretboard with mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays, a fast-playing Round SlimTaper profile, and a 16” radius for easy string bending. The TUSQ bridge pins, saddle, and nut, along with the Grover Rotomatic tuning machines, keep the tuning solid. The pickguard features one-color Hummingbird Studio graphics, and the satin nitrocellulose finish gives the Hummingbird Studio EC the look and feel of a long-treasured musical companion. An L.R. Baggs Element Bronze active under-saddle piezo pickup ensures easy studio-quality plug-and-play anywhere, while the included hardshell case helps keep this 'bird safe wherever your travels take you.
