Epiphone Hummingbird Deluxe EC Inspired by Gibson Custom — Solid Rosewood / Thermally Aged Spruce — Mint

Beautiful Mint-Condition Hummingbird Deluxe EC "Inspired by Gibson Custom" – Solid Rosewood – Thermally Aged Spruce – LR Baggs – Original Protector Ultralite Case

Here is an exceptional example of the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Hummingbird Deluxe EC, a premium modern interpretation of one of Gibson's most iconic acoustic guitars.

This particular Hummingbird Deluxe EC is in flawless, mint condition and includes its original Epiphone Protector Ultralite case.

Designed and configured by Epiphone in partnership with the Gibson Custom acoustic guitar team in Bozeman, Montana, the Hummingbird Deluxe EC takes the legendary Hummingbird formula and upgrades it with premium materials, a comfortable cutaway design, thermally aged spruce, solid rosewood back and sides, ebony appointments, and professional-grade LR Baggs electronics.

Premium Solid-Wood Construction

Unlike more basic Hummingbird models, the Deluxe EC features solid rosewood back and sides, paired with a thermally aged solid spruce top.

The thermally aged spruce top is designed to provide a more mature, resonant voice right out of the box, with increased projection, warmth, and responsiveness.

The solid rosewood construction delivers deep, rich bass response and sparkling high-end overtones, giving this Hummingbird a beautiful combination of warmth, power, and clarity.

The top is supported by the traditional Scalloped X-bracing made from quartersawn solid spruce.

Hummingbird Cutaway Design

The Deluxe EC adds a practical square-shoulder cutaway, providing comfortable access to the upper frets while retaining the unmistakable Hummingbird body shape.

It's an excellent configuration for players who want the classic Hummingbird sound and aesthetics but also play higher up the neck.

Premium Neck & Fingerboard

The guitar features a one-piece genuine mahogany neck with a comfortable Rounded "C" profile and a traditional glued dovetail neck joint.

The ebony fingerboard features:

• 20 standard frets
• 12" radius
• Mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays
• 1.73" bone nut
• 24.75" scale length

The rounded neck profile and ebony fingerboard give the guitar a substantial but comfortable traditional acoustic feel.

LR Baggs Electronics

This Hummingbird Deluxe EC comes equipped with a factory-installed L.R. Baggs VTC Bronze pickup and preamp.

The volume and tone controls are conveniently mounted inside the soundhole, keeping the look clean while giving you easy access to your amplified sound.

Whether you're looking for a recording instrument or a stage-ready acoustic, the LR Baggs system makes this guitar ready to plug in and play.

• Gibson-style "open book" headstock
• Mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown
• Ebony fingerboard
• Mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays
