Epiphone Hummingbird Studio Faded Cherry Sunburst Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Epiphone Hummingbird Studio Acoustic/Electric guitar brings the legendary country/rock "Hummingbird" into the 21st century featuring an active pickup system with onboard EQ.  

First introduced in 1960, the square shouldered Hummingbird quickly became a classic thanks to Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, who used a Hummingbird for rhythm on early Stones hits like "Satisfaction," "Play With Fire," and "Under My Thumb." There are also many classic photographs of Richards using a Hummingbird on sessions for Exile on Main Street, Goat’s Head Soup, and Sticky Fingers. Today, the Hummingbird is still a go-to acoustic for players when they need a rhythm guitar with smooth action and superb “woody” tone that’s full of character.
