With the Epiphone Eric Church Hummingbird, Epiphone combines the legendary look of one of the most famous acoustic guitars in music history with the demands of a modern stage musician. This signature dreadnought is modelled on the famous Gibson Hummingbird and impresses with a solid top, which ensures a powerful, balanced tone with excellent responsiveness. Thanks to the built-in pickup system, the guitar is ready for use straight away, both in the studio and on stage, whilst the matching guitar case ensures safe transport.
With its solid European spruce top and laminated rosewood back and sides, the Epiphone Eric Church Hummingbird delivers the powerful, balanced sound you’d expect from a classic dreadnought. The spruce top ensures a quick response, high dynamics and brilliant trebles, whilst the rosewood back and sides lend the tone depth and a balanced spectrum of overtones. The result is a robust sound with clearly defined bass, prominent mids and silky trebles.
Whilst a mahogany neck with a comfortably contoured Rounded-C profile sits securely in the hand and promotes a relaxed playing posture, the high-quality rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth surface for precise finger changes as well as a pleasant feel. A distinctive feature is the shortened scale length of 629 mm. This noticeably reduces string tension and makes it easier to play chords, bends and fingerstyle passages.
With the Fishman Presys VT pickup system, this model is always ready for amplified performance. This professional system faithfully reproduces the guitar’s natural character in rich detail and delivers a balanced sound with high transparency. This allows both powerful strumming and finely nuanced fingerpicking to come across authentically. The volume and tone controls, discreetly positioned in the soundhole, allow for easy adjustment of the sound without compromising the classic appearance of the acoustic guitar.
Visually, too, the Epiphone Eric Church Hummingbird makes a clear statement. The elegant Dark Cobra Burst finish creates a distinctive vintage character and highlights the elegant grain of the top. Inspired by the legendary original, the artfully designed Hummingbird pickguard is a real eye-catcher and gives the guitar its unmistakable look. The premium appearance is rounded off by the Pearloid Split Parallelogram inlays on the fingerboard. They add stylish accents and lend the signature acoustic guitar an exclusive touch.
