Key Features and Specifications

Tonewoods & Body

• Body Shape: Square Shoulder Dreadnought

  • This shape is known for delivering a powerful, full, and balanced tone that is excellent for strummers and singer-songwriters.

• Top Wood: Solid Sitka Spruce

• Back & Sides: Solid Mahogany

  • The all-solid wood construction (Solid Spruce top with Solid Mahogany back/sides) is a significant feature that allows the guitar's tone to mature and improve over time. The mahogany contributes warmth, a focused midrange, and a punchy attack.

• Finish: Aged Natural Antique Gloss

  • This finish is designed to look and feel like a well-played, decades-old vintage instrument, giving it a warm, aged hue.

• Signature Look: It features the iconic Hummingbird pickguard with intricate floral and bird graphics.

Neck & Playability

• Neck Material: Mahogany

• Neck Profile: Rounded "C"

  • This neck shape is comfortable and substantial, based on vintage Gibson profiles.

• Scale Length: 24.724" (Short Scale)

  • The short scale provides a looser, "slinkier" string feel, easier playability, and a slightly warmer tone.

• Fingerboard Material: Indian Laurel (or Pau Ferro/Rosewood, depending on the production year)

• Nut & Saddle: Bone

  • Using bone for the nut and saddle is a high-quality appointment that helps maximize string vibration transfer and improves acoustic tone.

• Inlays: Mother-of-Pearl Split Parallelograms.

• Tuners: Epiphone Deluxe with Gold Bushings (14:1 ratio).

Acoustic-Electric System (Most Models)

• Electronics: Fishman Sonicore Under-Saddle Pickup and Fishman Sonitone Preamp.

• Controls: Volume and Tone controls are discreetly mounted just inside the soundhole, keeping the vintage aesthetic of the guitar intact.
