{"product_id":"gibson-hummingbird-maple-alpine-white-gloss","title":"Gibson Hummingbird Maple - Alpine White Gloss","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hummingbird is one of the most visually iconic acoustic guitars Gibson has ever produced — the square shoulder silhouette, the elaborate tortoise pickguard with its signature hummingbird and flower graphics, the warm projection that made it a staple of Nashville recording studios and touring stages for over six decades. The Interstellar Tone Traveler is proud to carry this Limited Edition Hummingbird Custom from Gibson Custom Montana's Greatest Hits II Collection, and it arrives with two choices that make it a genuinely distinct instrument from any Hummingbird that came before it. First: Alpine White — a finish so clean and striking that the Hummingbird graphics on the tortoise pickguard stand out with a vividness that sunburst and cherry finishes simply can't match. Second: maple. Where the standard Hummingbird builds its character on mahogany back, sides, and neck, this Custom version goes all-maple — back, sides, and a 2-piece maple neck — a wood swap that fundamentally changes the guitar's tonal identity and puts it in a different conversation entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaple's contribution to an acoustic instrument is immediate and unmistakable: more punch, more articulation, tighter bass response, and a clarity in the midrange and treble that cuts through a mix with precision rather than warmth. This is a punchier, brighter, more forward Hummingbird — one that projects with authority and rewards players who want definition and presence from a square-shoulder dreadnought rather than the softer, rounder character of the traditional mahogany build. A Sitka Spruce top with Traditional Hand Scalloped X-bracing provides the foundation, the Compound Dovetail neck joint ensures maximum coupling and sustain, and Mother of Pearl Parallelogram inlays on the rosewood fingerboard add a refined elegance to the playing surface. LR Baggs VTC electronics with soundhole-mounted controls make it stage and studio ready from the moment it comes out of the hardshell case, and Grover Rotomatic tuners with TUSQ bridge pins and saddle complete a build that justifies every detail of the Custom Shop designation. Alpine White with Hummingbird graphics, in limited production, in all-maple — this one is for players who want the Hummingbird story told in a completely different voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel: \u003c\/b\u003eLimited Edition Hummingbird Custom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Back\/Sides:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Top:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hummingbird (Square Shoulder)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional Hand Scalloped X-Bracing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e 6-Ply Top, 4-Ply Back, Single-Ply Fretboard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple (2-Piece) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Mother of Pearl Parallelograms \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut:\u003c\/b\u003e Tusq, 1.73\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.75\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e  20 (Standard)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully Adjustable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compound Dovetail to Body Joint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Inlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson Logo and Crown in Mother of Pearl  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Belly Up: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e .060\" Tortoise with Hummingbird Graphics  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-Ply Bell: Black\/.White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuner Plating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins:\u003c\/b\u003e Tusq\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSaddle Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Tusq\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grover Rotomatics \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnder Saddle Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e LR Baggs VTC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soundhole Mounted Volume and Tone Controls \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Jack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\" Endpin Jack \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardshell Case \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e .012, .016, .024, .032, .042, .053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/b\u003e Gibson Accessory Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51780030496952,"sku":"SSHMCWPSL1283","price":5249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/Gibson21476033_001availableatInterStellarGuitars.jpg?v=1788467407","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/gibson-hummingbird-maple-alpine-white-gloss","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
