Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist EC Electro Acoustic Guitar in Antique Natural

Built on the foundations of Gibson's modern square-shouldered dreadnought acoustic designs, The Songwriter Recording Artist offers a unique electro-acoustic guitar that takes inspiration from the refined specs of the legendary 1936 Advance Jumbo model.

With its 25.5” scale length, this Gibson acoustic has a bright, resonant tone that perfectly lends itself to accompanying vocals as well as seamlessly standing out in even the busiest recording session. Its thermal-aged Sitka Spruce top, in combination with its solid Rosewood back and sides and Ebony fingerboard, provides a powerful depth to its tone with strong harmonic overtones and crystal-clear clarity. Thanks to its L.R. Baggs HiFi pickup system, this Gibson is equally at home on stage as it is in the studio with a natural and dynamic amplified tone. Along with eye-catching Mother-of-Pearl inlays and road-worthy Gibson hardshell case, the Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist EC is the perfect companion for players who demand more!

• Thermal Aged - The thermal-aged solid Sikta Spruce top ensures that this acoustic comes pre-seasoned and aged to utter perfection, offering an instrument that has superior structural integrity as well as rich and harmonic overtones usually only found in prized vintage examples.
• Rosewood Back and Sides - Regarded by many as one of the number one tonewoods in guitar construction, it offers rich and musical lows with crystal clear and powerful highs. Partnered with its Mahogany neck, articulate Ebony fingerboard and resonant Sitka Spruce top, the Gibson Songwriter has a well-balanced tone that fits every playing style.
• LR Baggs HiFi - The LR Baggs HiFi acoustic pickup offers a minimal impact, non-invasive pickup system that’s perfect for providing studio-like stage tones without any alteration to the bridge plate and the foundations of your natural acoustic tone. With its simple peel-and-stick design, in partnership with its high-fidelity preamp and volume and tone controls, it offers the ultimate plug-and-play experience.
