The Epiphone Limited Edition Hummingbird Performer PRO in Tobacco
Sunburst recreates the '60s classic in a beautiful finish plus a solid
spruce top and the state of the art Shadow preamp and pickup system for
true acoustic tone when plugging into a PA or acoustic guitar amp.
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 rockers like
Noel Gallagher, Sheryl Crow, and Kid Rock when they need a rhythm guitar
with smooth action and superb “woody” tone that’s full of character.
On its own, the Limited Edition Hummingbird Performer PRO
acoustic-electric can drive an all-acoustic band or be front and center
at a picking party with its sweet, balanced tone. Now with the Shadow
ePerformer preamp and Shadow NanoFlex pickup system, this
limited-edition Hummingbird Performer PRO can plug-in and hold its own
on any size stage.
