Introduced in 1960, it was the first square-shoulder dreadnought acoustic model Gibson produced. Now, Gibson Custom is proud to introduce the Hummingbird Custom Koa, a top-of-the-line Hummingbird with exceptional beauty and tone. This rare model from Gibson Custom features hand-inlaid and hand-engraved hummingbirds on the headstock, fretboard, pickguard, and bridge. This handcrafted instrument is a true custom piece!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Hummingbird Custom Koa features a back and sides of beautifully figured solid koa wood. Koa is prized not only for its exceptional beauty but also for its tonal properties, with some of mahogany's warmth paired with maple's brighter top end. The two-piece back features a center marquetry strip and is framed by multi-ply binding. The solid Sitka spruce top is reinforced with the traditional Gibson scalloped X-bracing and framed by multi-ply abalone binding. The combination of koa and Sitka spruce produces a bright but balanced sound that will continue to warm up and improve with each passing year, making this model a player's dream.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded profile and attaches to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint using hot hide glue. The ebony fretboard is adorned with intricately engraved mother-of-pearl and abalone hummingbird and flower inlays and equipped with 20 standard frets.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bound headstock is equipped with gold-plated Grover® tuning machines with engraved buttons. It also features a beautiful mother-of-pearl and abalone hummingbird inlay, along with a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo.
