Chrome epiphone tuning machines.
The Hummingbird's top is made from select spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from mahogany. Spruce is the most traditional wood for flat-top soundboards. It's a strong, light, straight-grained wood, offering a sweet, well-rounded voice and a solid high-end response. Mahogany's bright, tight sound and excellent presence make it a great choice for a body tonewood. Overall, the Hummingbird delivers a balanced tone, with warm bass and excellent projection.
Rosewood Fingerboard with Split Parralelogram InlaysThe Hummingbird features a rosewood fingerboard, like so many other instruments--the resilience of this durable wood makes for a balanced and stable fingerboard, giving each chord and note clarity and bite. The split parralelogram inlays? Well, they just look sharp.
Angled HeadstockUnlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut, delivering more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.
Serious LooksSure, sound is important, but you want your instrument to look nice, too. The Hummingbird's definitely up to the task, with its rich Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, floral-patterned pickgaurd, and multi-ring rosette.
HardwareThe Hummingbird features Epiphone chrome tuning machines, to keep your tuning solid. A rosewood bridge takes up the other end.
