New Audio Gear Alert: Gibson’s G-Bird Acoustic, BB Tubes by Waves, Line 6 x Steinberg & More

Gibson unveils the G-Bird acoustic guitar.

Gibson welcomes the G-Bird to their Generation Collection.

The Gibson Generation Collection opens a new evolution in sound for acoustic guitar players. Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, by the highly skilled craftspeople who make all Gibson acoustic guitars, the Generation Collection is proud to unveil the new G-Bird—based on the iconic Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar—to round out the series which includes the previously announced G-00, G-45, G-Writer, and the G-200.

The G-Bird represents the legacy of the Gibson Hummingbird colliding with modern sonic enhancement through the Gibson Player Port to add a new dimension to the G-Bird sound. The Gibson Player Port allows players to hear more of themselves as the audience hears it. With a tone that is crisp and resonant, all of the Gibson Generation Collection acoustics are designed to be comfortable to hold and play for long periods of time.
