The Gibson Songwriter was first introduced in the late 1990s and features a unique Gibson square-shoulder modern dreadnought body design. The Songwriter Recording Artist captures the historic tonal advantages of Gibson's famed 1930s scalloped Advanced X-braced top, its 25.5" scale length, and tonewoods reminiscent of the 1936 Advanced Jumbo, for a sound that is distinctive yet unmistakably Gibson.

Created for discerning players, the Songwriter Recording Artist is a superior, powerful, and dynamic acoustic built for both recording and live performance. Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, it features a thermally aged Sitka spruce top paired with rosewood back and sides. This time-honored tonewood recipe produces rich lows, sparkling highs, and exceptional clarity.

The 25.5" scale mahogany neck has a comfortable Round profile and is fitted with a smooth-playing bound ebony fretboard. It features 20 standard frets and elegant mother-of-pearl diamond eye inlays. The compound dovetail neck joint is secured with hot hide glue, ensuring maximum tonal transfer and stability.

Additional premium details include a bound headstock with a rosewood veneer, the Gibson logo and Crown inlaid in mother-of-pearl, and gold Grover open-back tuners. The ebony bridge is fitted with a bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins, accented with mother-of-pearl arrow inlays. A custom-line tortoise pickguard and wide abalone rosette complete the guitar's refined look.

Baggs HiFi system, it features dual bridge plate sensors and an internal preamp that deliver exceptional dynamics, balance, and note definition while resisting feedback.
