Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab Hummingbird Light Aged - Heritage Cherry Sunburst

From the launchpad of Gibson’s legendary past, the 1960 Hummingbird returns—faithfully recreated by the Murphy Lab and ready for liftoff.

With its celestial tones, timeless curves, and vintage-correct appointments, this guitar isn’t just an instrument—it’s a time machine wrapped in starlight. And with Murphy Lab Light Aging, it arrives not only seasoned but seemingly plucked from a parallel vintage timeline. The Hummingbird's tone is warm, articulate, and balanced. Strum big open chords and feel the room resonate, or fingerpick your way across galaxies of nuance. It's a tone that’s inspired songwriters for over 60 years—now reimagined for a new age.

Murphy Lab’s Light Aging gives this Hummingbird the appearance of a well-traveled companion—complete with finish checking, subtle wear, and aged hardware. Every detail is stardust-accurate. No artificial relic job—this is handcrafted wear worthy of the Gibson galaxy.
