Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Purple Burst Hummingbird Standard is a square-shoulder acoustic-electric built with a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides. Its round-profile mahogany neck carries a 20-fret Indian rosewood fingerboard over a 24.75-inch scale. When amplification is needed, the LR Baggs VTC system provides undersaddle pickup output with discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls. Details including the reverse-belly Indian rosewood bridge, Grover Rotomatic tuners, and a hardshell case round out this Hummingbird Standard.
Strong match
Who this is for
