Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Epiphone's 1960 Hummingbird Reissue is a square-shoulder acoustic-electric built with a thermally aged solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and quarter-sawn spruce scalloped X-bracing. Its one-piece thermally aged mahogany neck carries a rounded profile, 24.75-inch scale, and 20-fret Indian rosewood fingerboard. For amplified work, the LR Baggs Element Bronze VTC system places volume and tone controls at the soundhole. Heritage Cherry Sunburst, split-parallelogram inlays, gold hardware, and the engraved Hummingbird-style pickguard give it the appearance of a first-year-inspired reissue.
