Entering a new era of Epiphone

Epiphone 1960 Hummingbird Reissue HTS IBC, acoustic guitar

The "Inspired by Gibson Custom" series has been created for guitarists who want top-tier instruments without the custom shop price tag. Designed by Epiphone's US Custom Shop team, the Epiphone Hummingbird Reissue IBC takes a legendary guitar and gives it a modern twist – with the premium specs to match. This square-shoulder dreadnought is, purely visually, one of the most impressive and imposing instruments in the Gibson catalogue, with a unique (and uniquely detailed) pickguard that has fascinated musicians the world over for decades. But vintage acoustic tone aficionados will also be blown away by this Hummingbird, with the roasted solid spruce top and solid mahogany sides and back giving this guitar a sound profile that will have even experienced listeners thinking it's been played regularly for years. This incredible effect also comes across when the Hummingbird is amplified, as it is equipped with an LR Baggs VTC Bronze pickup system.

That's some neck!

The Epiphone 1960 Hummingbird Reissue HTS IBC sounds most impressive in the mid-range – which is clear and precise – and the treble register, where it really shines. This is all thanks to the body's mahogany construction, while the instrument's tight response is delivered by the roasted spruce top, regardless of whether the player uses a plectrum or employs a fingerpicking style. Either way, the quality of the guitar's sound is matched only by its playability: Unusual, especially for a modern acoustic, is the Hummingbird's very chunky neck profile, along with a nut width of 44.2mm and a 12" fingerboard radius, so that guitarists with larger hands will find it particularly pleasant to play. The mahogany neck, like the spruce top, has been heat-treated, both to ensure maximum stability and to further contribute to the guitar's vintage, Inspired-by-Gibson timbre.

Make a statement on stage

Playing a Hummingbird is quite the statement: It says that a musician has been looking for (and found!) something really special, an instrument that doesn't go with the flow. Of course, it also gets the job done and then some, mastering every challenge a working musician is ever likely to face – the entire "Inspired by Gibson Custom" series offers that classic Gibson flat-top sound at the fair prices for which Epiphone has become known. Of course, even for a professional guitarist, they're not necessarily cheap, but still more affordable than the functionally identical Gibsons made in the USA. The LR Baggs VTC Bronze piezo pickup used here is also a great-sounding addition, with its discreetly integrated volume and tone controls providing a warm, authentic sound for acoustic sets live on stage. All in all, the Epiphone 1960 Hummingbird Reissue HTS IBC is a successful revival of the vintage Gibson steel-string style of the early 1960s.

About Epiphone

Today, Epiphone is known only as the Asian budget offshoot of Gibson. Yet both companies were once independent, equal, and also bitter rivals. The roots of Epiphone go back to the 1870s and to Anastasios Stathopoulo, a Greek instrument maker, who emigrated to America in 1903 with his son Epaminondas ("Epi" for short). Epi changed the name of the firm to the "Epiphone Banjo Company" after taking over the family business in 1928. During this year, Epiphone also began to manufacture guitars, which rapidly came to dominate their sales. In 1957, Epiphone was taken over by C.M.I., which already included Gibson, but continued as a separate brand until 1970, when manufacturing was outsourced to Asia. Well-known Epiphone models include the Casino, played by the Beatles, and the Sheraton, John Lee Hooker's instrument of choice.

Happy with a Hummingbird

This classic recipe, taken straight from the pages of a vintage Gibson catalogue, is one to savour for musicians of all genres and playing styles. Singer-songwriters in particular are sure to place this inspiring instrument, Epiphone's homage to the sounds of the 1960s, right up there with their all-time favourites. With its range of modern features, though, the Epiphone 1960 Hummingbird Reissue HTS IBC also cuts a fine figure recording in the studio, with a playability that will keep even seasoned session musicians coming back for more. And thanks to its vintage-tinted matte finish, this guitar will feel like an old friend the moment it's taken out of the (premium) that comes included in the package. Anyone looking for a steel-string acoustic with an authentic feel and a sound to match will be more than happy with a Hummingbird.
