Gibson Songwriter, Rosewood Burst

Full Description

Take to the stage

Perfect for professionals. The Gibson Songwriter 2019 comes equipped with popular VTC electronics from LR Baggs. This high-quality system features a low-profile undersaddle pickup that's proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. With an unobtrusive and removable volume/tone control mounted just within the soundhole, the VTC and the Songwriter together are an unbeatable combination.

But that's far from all that this magnificent pickup system gives you. You can easily tweak your tone with rotary controls, helping you to shape your ideal amplified sound. Plus, it'll deliver everything you play with remarkable audio clarity. So no matter what volume you play at, you can be certain you'll sound clear. It's all of this that makes the Songwriter the ultimate stage companion.

Beautiful tone

Only the best. Gibson have crafted the Songwriter 2019 using the most premium tonewoods available, ensuring maximum sonic brilliance. You'll never have experienced a tonal range quite like this before. Sitka spruce used for the guitar's top produces a broad dynamic range, meaning everything you play will sound crisp and articulate, no matter the pitch.

You'll enjoy fantastic depth thanks to rosewood back and sides, providing you with a full low end and clear mid-range tones. Mahogany used for the songwriter's neck brings unique definition into your music, too. And these woods will only get better with age. The more you play your Songwriter, the more its tone will open up, providing you with excellent sound for generations.

Gigantic sound

Even when you aren't plugged in, the Gibson Songwriter will deliver full, natural sound. That's because Gibson have crafted it with a square-shouldered body, giving the sound waves of your music more room to reverberate. The result is excellent bass response, and a rich, clear voice. Furthermore, when you attack the strings with a more aggressive strumming technique, the sound will just get bigger. And bigger. Plus, a dreadnought body size increases natural resonance, meaning your music will sound fuller than ever.

Superior playability

Making music should be fun. You shouldn't have to suffer with a guitar that's awkward or difficult to play. The Songwriter 2019 is the exact opposite. Gibson have put thought into even the tiniest details of this remarkable instrument to ensure it delivers a supreme playing experience.

You can play with speed and dynamism easily. The sleek quality of the Songwriter's mahogany neck helps your hand smoothly glide up and down the scale. Its rounded shape provides maximum comfort, too. Gone are the days of being held back by strain or cramp. You can forget about having to stop playing due to a sore hand, and concentrate entirely on your creativity. The Songwriter is a complete joy to play.

An advanced sonic engine

Enhance your tone. This limited edition Songwriter features Gibson's traditional hand-scalloped advanced X-bracing. Forming an "X" shape across the soundboard, it helps increase projection and resonance. "Scalloping" the bracing means removing mass from it, giving the guitar's top more freedom to vibrate. The result is massive sound that'll fill the ears of anyone within listening distance.

Tough protection with an included hardshell case

An instrument as good as the Songwriter deserves to be protected. Gibson know this, and include a durable, long-lasting hardshell case that'll help you keep your guitar at its best, wherever you take it. So you'll have peace of mind that your instrument is safe as you travel from show to show. Maximum security.
