2023 Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Hummingbird Fixed Bridge VOS Heritage Cherry Sunburst w/case

4lbs 3oz.

Very good condition. Includes case and candy.This one is a CANNON. Punchy and loud. Will really turn heads. Also plays like butter and functions as it should. Main blemish is on corner of headstock, probably from a wall hanger. Almost zero fretwear. On small notch in binding on top near neck joint. Had to really zoom in because you can't really see it but can feel it. See all pics. Few light blemishes on top and some light rash and rubbing on back. 

The 2023 Gibson 1960 Hummingbird Fixed Bridge (VOS) is a premium acoustic guitar crafted by Gibson Custom Shop as a faithful reissue of the original 1960 square-shoulder dreadnought.  Designed to capture the vintage look, feel, and tone of the classic Hummingbird, it features a thermally aged Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, delivering a warm, balanced, and dynamically responsive voice ideal for both strumming and fingerstyle playing. 

This model is finished in Heritage Cherry Sunburst with a thin nitrocellulose lacquer and VOS (Vintage Original Spec) treatment, giving it a lightly aged, broken-in appearance and feel right out of the case.  The fixed bridge enhances sustain and tuning stability, making it a favorite among players seeking vintage authenticity with modern reliability.

The thermally aged spruce top contributes to a mature, open tone with enhanced resonance and clarity, while the mahogany body emphasizes warm mids and a dry, articulate character. The shorter 24.75" scale length and light build make it highly responsive and comfortable to play, offering a wide dynamic range suitable for genres from folk and country to rock and blues. 

Players and reviewers consistently praise its rich harmonic complexity, excellent projection, and vintage-inspired feel, noting that it sounds "broken in" from day one thanks to the VOS treatment and thermal aging process.
