To celebrate the release of this Epiphone signature guitar, Church’s whiskey brand, Whiskey JYPSI, partnered with Gibson to utilize maple tonewood offcuts for whiskey finishing
Epiphone has partnered with singer-songwriter and longtime Gibson collaborator Eric Church to release the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Eric Church Hummingbird™ Dark. This limited-edition signature electro-acoustic guitar is modeled after his extremely popular Gibson Hummingbird that launched a decade ago.
No ordinary signature model collaboration, this launch is accompanied by another special treat: Gibson has teamed up with Church’s own Whiskey JYPSI whiskey brand to release Tonewood, a limited-edition liquor creation that brings together guitar craftsmanship and whiskey-making through a reversal of tradition.
Instead of repurposing whiskey barrels for instruments, Whiskey JYPSI used maple tonewood offcuts from Gibson guitar construction to incorporate into the finishing process. To learn more about the role of these wood species in Gibson and Epiphone guitars, check out our
As for the new Hummingbird Dark model, this eye-catching guitar fuses square-shoulder heritage with aesthetics that channel the character of Eric’s music. Its smoky Cobra Burst finish is complemented by darkened accents, including black binding that frames the top and back and a custom Hummingbird Dark pickguard
