Description

The Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist Left-handed Electro Acoustic in Rosewood Burst is a modern square-shouldered dreadnought built for serious performers and studio players. Combining a thermally aged Sitka spruce top, rosewood back and sides, a long 25.5 inch scale and Gibson’s Advanced X-bracing, it delivers a rich, powerful acoustic voice that translates beautifully when amplified via the custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, this left-handed model offers exceptional playability and a refined aesthetic, with elegant mother-of-pearl detailing, multi-ply binding and a gloss nitrocellulose finish. Whether you are tracking intimate fingerstyle parts, strumming big choruses on stage or leading a band, the Songwriter Recording Artist gives you the projection, clarity and dynamic range you need, with a natural amplified sound that stays true to the guitar’s acoustic character. Modern Dreadnought Power with Vintage DNA Originally introduced in the late 1990s, the Songwriter brought a distinctive square-shoulder dreadnought shape to the Gibson acoustic line. The Songwriter Recording Artist takes that platform and infuses it with design cues from the legendary 1936 Advanced Jumbo, including a 25.5 inch scale length and 1930s-inspired scalloped Advanced X-bracing. The result is a voice that is bold and open, with piano-like low end, clear mids and sparkling highs that sit perfectly in a mix while still sounding unmistakably Gibson. Thermally Aged Sitka Spruce and Rosewood Tonewoods A thermally aged Sitka spruce top provides the responsiveness and played-in feel of a well-loved vintage acoustic, right out of the case. Paired with rosewood back and sides, you get a wide dynamic range and rich harmonic content, ideal for everything from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive flatpicking. The wide abalone rosette, custom line tortoise pickguard and multi-ply body binding add a touch of high-end elegance to match the guitar’s sophisticated tone. Comfortable Left-handed Playability The 25.5 inch scale mahogany neck features a comfortable Round profile that feels familiar and supportive for long sessions, while the bound ebony fretboard with 20 standard frets offers a smooth, fast playing surface. Mother-of-pearl diamond eye inlays provide clear visual reference points without being distracting. A compound dovetail neck joint secured with hot hide glue maximises stability and tonal transfer, giving you a solid, resonant feel under the left hand. Baggs HiFi DNA Electronics for Natural Amplified Tone Designed to excel both in the studio and on stage, the Songwriter Recording Artist comes equipped with Gibson’s exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA active pickup system. Two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, each with its own optimised preamp, capture a full-range, natural acoustic sound that remains faithful to the guitar’s unique character. The system offers impressive gain-before-feedback performance, while discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls let you fine-tune your sound quickly without spoiling the clean look of the top. Key Features Thermally Aged Sitka Spruce Top with Rosewood Back and Sides – This classic tonewood pairing delivers a rich, powerful and articulate voice, with the thermally aged spruce providing a fast, responsive feel and the rosewood adding depth, warmth and shimmering overtones that work beautifully for both recording and live performance. Advanced X-bracing and 25.5 inch Scale Length – Gibson’s 1930s-era scalloped Advanced X-bracing, combined with the longer scale, enhances projection, clarity and headroom, giving you a guitar that stays focused and defined whether you are playing softly or really digging in with a pick. Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System – The dual-sensor, dual-preamp design captures a remarkably natural amplified sound while maintaining strong resistance to feedback, so you can enjoy a convincing acoustic tone at stage volumes and make c…

Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.
