The 'Bird is The Word

Wildwoodians, the Minneapolis band the Trashmen can be considered prophetic, because sixty-one years after they put out their biggest hit, the bird is still indeed the word.

The 'Bird is The Word

Wildwoodians, the Minneapolis band the Trashmen can be considered prophetic, because sixty-one years after they put out their biggest hit, the bird is still indeed the word. Of course, the bird in question is this guitar from a special run of Original Collection Hummingbirds with maple back and sides and a spectacular dark cherry burst finish. Though it still has the responsiveness and robust tone that have made the Hummingbird a favorite of cutting-edge acoustic adventurers for decades, the maple back and sides give it a fresh, exciting voice unlike anything else in the Gibson stable. The spruce top gives us a balanced, powerful voice with a good blend of fundamental and overtone, but the maple back and sides impart an incredible chime to the high-end along with a bright, vibrant woodiness and outstanding clarity (not to mention, supreme articulation). In the context of a Gibson dreadnought, this tonewood combo creates a wonderfully expressive, dynamic voice with an uncommonly full-bodied sound for a maple guitar. Add in some sweet-looking cosmetic touches like split parallelogram inlays, gold Grover tuners, and a crown headstock inlay, and you've got a truly eye-catching acoustic to boot! We have no doubt that the spectacular tone of maple combined with the rich tradition of great Hummingbird tone will inspire you to embark on all sorts of exciting acoustic adventures!
