Gibson Hummingbird · Classic — decorated square‑shoulder acoustic

A Classic‑tier Hummingbird listing at a sub‑benchmark asking price for readers who know how era and spec drive value.

Why we selected it today

Great Price. The asking $3,859.90 sits well below the historical like‑for‑like asking‑price benchmark of $4,497.50 (historical metric), a roughly 14% reduction. That historical benchmark is based on past like‑for‑like asking prices; today's live like‑for‑like pool is thinner than usual, so treat the benchmark as a historical comparator rather than a current median. Observed asking prices are quoted, not confirmed sale prices. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

The model’s pedigree

The Hummingbird is a square‑shouldered Gibson acoustic known for its decorated pickguard and strong rhythm voice. Era and specification materially affect value.

How the asking price compares

At $3,859.90, this sits against a current median asking price of $0 across 1 other closely matched listing. For now, the current market median remains the main AG benchmark at $4,497.50. The featured guitar is about 14.2% below that level. That earns AG’s Great Price rating: on the evidence available, it is notably keener than the centre of the current asking-price market. These are observed eBay asking prices, not confirmed sold prices.
