Gibson 2018 Limited Edition Hummingbird - Big Sky Blue

Gibson's Hummingbird is one of the most revered instruments in American history, and for good reason: They're as beautiful as they are stylistically versatile. Regardless of play style, the Gibson Hummingbird excels as much as a singer/songwriting vehicle as it does for spirited flatpicking solo work.
Tonal Evaluation
Anyone who loves acoustic guitars will get all tangled up in blue the second they strum this Hummingbird! It’s certainly an eye-catching color, but it sounds even better than it looks. Such a crisp-sounding acoustic practically demands that you play complex voicings simply because it’s such a delight to hear every single note of the chord so clearly! That’s not to say this guitar is a one-trick pony—far from it! This instrument’s exceptional clarity and balance ensure that it will fit in beautifully in almost any musical context (it would also make a mean guitar for any bluegrass flatpicker). Much like cheese and beer, this Hummingbird goes good with everything!
