Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist | Antique Natural

The Gibson Songwriter was originally introduced in the late 1990s and featured a unique square-shoulder modern dreadnought body design. It delivered a powerful, full tone that always caught people’s attention.

The new Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist captures the tonal character of classic Gibson acoustics thanks to its scalloped advanced X-braced top, 25.5" scale length, and tonewoods inspired by the 1936 spec Gibson Advanced Jumbo. The result is a powerful voice that stays true to Gibson’s acoustic heritage.

The Songwriter Recording Artist features a dreadnought body design and features a thermally aged sitka spruce top, alongside rosewood back and sides. This tonewood pairing has been used for decades and delivers incredible tones. Together, they produce a tone which is punchy, clear, and super inspiring.

The mahogany neck is super comfortable and easy to navigate thanks to the “Round” neck profile. It feels great in your hands and is the perfect choice for a modern acoustic guitar like this. It features a 25.5” scale length, a dark ebony fretboard, 20 frets, 43.815mm nut width, and mother-of-pearl diamond eye inlays.

As the name suggests, this guitar was designed with live performances and recording sessions in mind. Because of this, Gibson have included high quality electronics which allow you to plug in and play straight away. The built in L.R. Baggs HiFi system features dual bridge plate sensors and an internal preamp, designed to deliver excellent dynamics, strong string balance, and clear note definition while remaining resistant to feedback. The preamp is voiced to work alongside the sensors, helping to produce a natural acoustic tone when the guitar is plugged in.

This guitar is handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, and ships in a Gibson hardshell case. If you’re looking for a modern acoustic guitar, then this is definitely worth checking out!
