The color has gone from the original Cherry Sunburst to the dark Tobacco Sunburst, to a natural finish, to the current Vintage Heritage Cherry Sunburst on the True Vintage edition. The sound is balanced across the scale making it a great instrument to accompany the voice. The word "velvet" is the term that comes up when discussing the sound. It responds to a wide range of technique from mild to agressive.
The nitrocellulose finish on the Gibson True Vintage Hummingbird is the result of a time consuming process during which 9 coats are applied. The tone wood can breathe and age naturally through an ultra thin layer of nitro. The nitrocellulose finish protects the Heritage Cherry Sunburst the premium Sitka Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides.The round Mahogany neck supports the Madagascar Rosewood neck and 25-1/2 scale.

Couple that with the balanced velvety tone and this guitar is an excellent choice for the fingerstyle performer.
