Epiphone Hummingbird Studio EC, Heritage Cherry

Iconic Hummingbird style with rich tone and modern stage-ready features

The Epiphone Hummingbird™ Studio EC in Heritage Cherry brings one of the most recognisable acoustic guitar designs in history into a modern, accessible format. Part of the all-new Epiphone Studio Acoustic Collection, this model reimagines a true classic — inspired by the legendary Gibson Hummingbird that has been shaping music across genres since 1960 — while delivering outstanding value, playability and versatility.

With its square-shoulder dreadnought body, the Hummingbird Studio EC produces a rich, balanced acoustic tone with strong projection, making it ideal for everything from bold strumming to more delicate fingerstyle playing. The addition of a cutaway gives you easy access to the upper frets, perfect for melodic lead lines, fills and expressive chord voicings — a feature appreciated by beginners and experienced players alike.

The body pairs a solid spruce top with layered mahogany back and sides, creating a responsive, articulate sound with warmth and depth. The spruce top offers excellent dynamic range and clarity, while the mahogany contributes a rounded, woody character that works beautifully for songwriting and accompaniment. Finished in the unmistakable Heritage Cherry gloss, this guitar instantly delivers the vintage Hummingbird look players know and love.

A mahogany neck with a glued-in tapered dovetail joint and a comfortable Rounded C profile provides a relaxed, familiar feel in the hand, ideal for long sessions. The bound rosewood fingerboard features 20 frets and classic split parallelogram inlays, staying true to the Hummingbird’s visual heritage while offering smooth, confident playability. A compensated saddle and belly-up rosewood bridge with ivory-coloured pins ensure stable intonation and reliable performance.

Vintage-inspired details complete the picture, including the iconic tortoiseshell-style Hummingbird pickguard with classic graphics, a 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock, and elegant mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown inlays. Grover® Rotomatic® tuners provide smooth, accurate tuning you can rely on, whether you’re practising at home or performing live.

For amplified use, the Hummingbird Studio EC is fitted with Fishman™ electronics, featuring an S-Core undersaddle pickup and Fishman Presys II preamp. With onboard volume, bass, treble and phase controls — plus a built-in tuner — you can shape your sound quickly and confidently on stage or in the studio.

Supplied with a standard gig bag, the Epiphone Hummingbird Studio EC in Heritage Cherry is a superb acoustic-electric for players who want timeless looks, dependable tone and modern functionality in one beautifully styled instrument — and exactly the kind of guitar we’re proud to recommend here at Musicmaker.
