Gibson 2008 Hummingbird Standard; Heritage Cherry Sunburst: Serial No: 03088015 | Second Hand A square-shoulder acoustic-electric guitar engineered to deliver balanced acoustic resonance, high-headroom projection, and integrated stage amplification. First introduced in 1960 as Gibson's inaugural square-shoulder dreadnought, the Hummingbird was designed to provide a smooth, blended acoustic backing for vocalists while retaining enough low-end depth and mid-range clarity to cut through ensemble mixes. The 2008 Standard model maintains this historical architectural framework, produced out of Gibson's Bozeman, Montana facility using traditional luthiery methods. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, the guitar utilizes hand-scalloped traditional X-bracing secured with hide glue to optimize soundboard resonance. The mahogany neck features a 24.75" scale length, a comfortable round profile, and a rosewood fingerboard appointed with mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays and a bone nut. Under-saddle transduction is handled by an onboard L.R. Baggs Element pickup system with a soundhole-mounted volume control, delivering uncoloured signal conversion for live performance and direct recording applications. Tonewood Architecture & Construction Solid Sitka Spruce Soundboard: Delivers wide dynamic range, crisp articulation, and high structural headroom suitable for flatpicking and strumming. Solid Mahogany Back & Sides: Provides focused mid-range presence and dry acoustic projection with minimal unwanted overtones. Hand-Scalloped X-Bracing: Enhances top flexibility and low-frequency resonance while maintaining long-term soundboard stability. Compound Dovetail Neck Joint: Secured at the 14th fret using traditional hot hide glue to maximize string energy transmission to the body cavity. Acoustic Hardware & Electronics L.R. Baggs Element System: Utilizes a flexible under-saddle transducer to mirror soundboard movement, minimizing aco
