Tone Shop Guitars Exclusive Gibson Murphy Lab Heavy Aged 1960 Hummingbird in Ebony

Introduced in 1960 as Gibson’s first square shoulder, the Hummingbird™ arrived at the dawn of a new era in music and was rapidly embraced by the prime movers on the scene. Built with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top, the 1960 Hummingbird reflects the appearance and performance of those early icons. It features Heavy Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab.
