🌞 Sunbird – Legendary Acoustic Guitar Virtual Instrument 🎸✨

Bring the warm, soulful sound of a 1962 Gibson Hummingbird straight into your studio with Sunbird – the ultimate acoustic guitar library designed for producers, composers, and musicians who demand realism and versatility.

🔥 Inspired by a Legend
Originally introduced in 1960, the Gibson Hummingbird became the first square-shouldered dreadnought and quickly gained fame for its deep yet balanced tone – perfect for vocal accompaniment and multi-genre performance. Sunbird captures this timeless sound in breathtaking detail, making it an essential tool for both solo playing and accompaniment.

🎙️ Pristine Recording & Sampling
Every nuance of the instrument was meticulously captured using:

• A pair of DPA microphones for lush stereo depth

• A Neumann U87 for mono precision & rich low end

• A contact pickup for amp simulations & creative FX

We recorded all frets of all strings with incredible detail: upstrokes, downstrokes, mutes, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, fret noises, percussive hits, and more – ensuring ultra-realistic guitar performances.
