Gibson Songwriter Standard EC Rosewood Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Antique Natural w/ Hardshell Case (Demo)

Gibson Songwriter Standard EC Rosewood Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Antique Natural

The Gibson Songwriter Standard EC Rosewood brings together classic Gibson acoustic construction, a powerful rosewood-and-Sitka spruce tonewood combination, and the added versatility of a comfortable cutaway design. Finished in Antique Natural, this is a beautiful, stage-ready acoustic-electric guitar with the projection, balance, and dynamic response players expect from a Gibson built in Bozeman, Montana.

First introduced in 2003, the Songwriter was designed around Gibson's traditional bracing concepts and original square-shoulder dreadnought body shape. The result is a modern rosewood powerhouse with a broad tonal range, strong projection, and excellent balance between the bass, mids, and treble.

This particular guitar is a floor model that has never left our shop. We've performed a professional set up and it is playing its very best, and it includes the original Gibson hardshell case for protection.

A Rosewood Dreadnought With Serious Projection

The Songwriter's solid Sitka spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides give this guitar a powerful, balanced acoustic voice.

Rosewood contributes rich low-end response, pronounced overtones, and excellent projection, while the Sitka spruce top provides the headroom and dynamic response needed for everything from delicate fingerstyle playing to aggressive strumming.

Gibson's traditional hand-scalloped Advanced X-bracing helps the top respond freely while maintaining the power and tonal balance that make the Songwriter such a versatile acoustic.

The result is an acoustic guitar that can easily fill a room on its own while remaining articulate enough for recording, songwriting, fingerstyle playing, and live performance.

Cutaway Design for Easy Upper-Fret Access

The Songwriter EC adds a cutaway body design to the traditional square-shoulder Songwriter platform.

That means easier access to the upper register without sacrificing the full-bodied acoustic character that defines the Songwriter. Whether you're playing lead lines, extended chords, or higher-register arrangements, the cutaway makes the instrument considerably more comfortable to navigate.

Fishman Prefix Plus-T Electronics

This Songwriter is equipped with a Fishman Prefix Plus-T under-saddle pickup system, giving you the ability to take the guitar's acoustic voice directly to an amplifier, PA, or recording setup.

The rib-mounted controls keep the electronics accessible while maintaining the clean appearance of the guitar. A built-in tuner adds additional convenience for live performance.

For players who need one acoustic to handle both unplugged playing and amplified performance, the Songwriter EC is an exceptionally capable choice.

Classic Gibson Construction & Appointments

The Songwriter Standard EC Rosewood combines traditional Gibson materials with elegant appointments throughout.

The guitar features:

• Solid Sitka spruce top
• Solid rosewood back and sides
• Mahogany neck with rounded profile
• Rosewood fingerboard
• Mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays
• Multi-ply top binding and single-ply back binding
• Gold hardware
• Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons
• Custom Line bridge and pickguard
• Antique Natural gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish

The combination of rosewood, spruce, gold hardware, and mother-of-pearl appointments gives this Songwriter a classic Gibson appearance that looks equally at home on stage, in the studio, or displayed in a collection.

A Gibson Songwriter Built to Perform

The Gibson Songwriter Standard EC Rosewood is the kind of acoustic guitar that can become a player's primary instrument. Its combination of solid rosewood back and sides, solid Sitka spruce, traditional Advanced X-bracing, comfortable mahogany neck, and cutaway body gives it the power and versatility to handle songwriting, fingerstyle, recording, and live performance.

Add in the Fishman Prefix Plus-T electronics and included Gibson hardshell case, and you've got an instrument that's ready to go from the living room to the studio to the stage.

And because this particular guitar is a Metz Music floor model that has never left our shop, we've already spent the time getting it set up and playing its best.
