In this interview with Gibson, Darius Rucker says he plays a Hummingbird.

“For years I wanted to play Gibson,” he says. “So I got one, we got a deal with them, and I just love mine. I just know what I hear, right, and when I plugged my Hummingbird in I’d never heard any guitar sound like that. Whether it’s just straight to my ears or through a PA, it’s just what an acoustic guitar is supposed to sound like to me. Not too tinny – the very opposite, it’s just full and beautiful sounding and they’re really great for live. They sound amazing every night.”

“I’ve got a lot of guitars,” he admits. “My Gibsons are really special to me and I have a National too. I collect 0018 Martins because of an old Nanci Griffith song called Listen to the Radio, so I have like five or six of those. Pre-54 is the oldest one."
