Epiphone Hummingbird Studio Acoustic Electric Guitar - Faded Cherry Sunburst

The Epiphone Hummingbird Studio Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Faded Cherry Sunburst is a popular and affordable take on the iconic Gibson Hummingbird design, offering classic looks with modern features for stage-ready performance.

It's known for bridging the gap between an entry-level instrument and the more premium "Inspired by Gibson" line, making the "Hummingbird" style accessible to more players.

Key Features and Specifications

Body & Tone

• Top Wood: Solid Spruce

  • Having a solid spruce top is a key feature that provides clear tone and projection, and the sound will generally improve as the wood ages.

• Body Material: Select Mahogany back and sides

  • This wood combination produces a warm, balanced, and resonant tone that is excellent for rhythm playing and strumming.

• Body Shape: Square Shoulder Dreadnought

• Finish: Gloss finish in Faded Cherry Sunburst

  • This is the classic, highly recognizable finish associated with the original Gibson Hummingbird.

Neck & Playability

• Neck Material: Select Mahogany

• Neck Profile: SlimTaper "D" Profile

  • This is a comfortable, fast-playing neck profile that is often preferred by electric guitar players and those with smaller hands.

• Scale Length: 24.724" (Short Scale)

  • The shorter scale length reduces string tension, making bends easier and providing a slightly warmer overall tone.

• Fingerboard: Pau Ferro or Indian Laurel (depending on the year/batch)

• Inlays: Pearloid Twin Parallelograms (a signature Hummingbird feature).

• Nut & Saddle: PVC or Compensated (sometimes Graph Tech NuBone, depending on the year)

• Tuners: Grover Rotomatic 18:1 ratio tuners

  • These are excellent-quality machine heads for precise and stable tuning.

Electronics

• System: Fishman Sonitone Preamp and Fishman Sonicore Under-Saddle Pickup (or sometimes Fishman Presys VT in some versions).

• Controls: The Volume and Tone controls are discreetly mounted just inside the soundhole, which keeps the exterior of the guitar clean and traditional.

• Output: 1/4" Endpin Jack.

Note on Naming: This model was previously sold and sometimes still referred to as the Epiphone Hummingbird PRO. The "Studio" and "PRO" names generally refer to the same instrument features.
