Seven models make up the 2018 lineup, two Hummingbirds, three Jumbo series models, one Avant Garde parlor and one SJ-200.
Gibson`s Acoustic division is among the most important and influential acoustic ranges in the industry, being the home of such legends as Hummingbird, J-45, SJ-200, L-5 and countless others. With over a century of experience under the belt, Gibson Acoustic has come to stand for quality, longevity, and progress. The new 2018 range features seven acoustic-electric models equipped with the finest L.R. Baggs electronics. The Hummingbird range will be reinforced with a duo of modern/vintage six-stringers, the Hummingbird and Hummingbird Rosewood AG 2018. Both models sport the recognizable Hummingbird styling and modern playability and tone. The J-45 will be offered in two variants, as well – J-45 Standard 2018 and J-45 Walnut Burst AG 2018. The former for the traditionalists and the latter for the explorers. The affordable J-15 2018 completes the new Jumbo series. SJ-200 VS 2018 is the only Super Jumbo model for 2018. It brings all the classic SJ appointments which made the 1930`s models the classics they are, plus the modern electronics. Parlor Rosewood AG 2018 will be the only addition to the Small Body series.
