A Songwriter with Tuxedo Style
This pre-owned Gibson Custom Shop Songwriter EC is a flat-out stunner, blending classic dreadnought power with the sophisticated looks of a Les Paul Custom. It’s a true player’s piece, built in Gibson’s esteemed Custom Shop to be an inspiring partner for both the stage and the studio. The foundation of its tone is the timeless combination of a solid Sitka spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides, delivering a sound that’s both powerful and harmonically rich.
Classic Woods, Custom Voicing
The Sitka spruce top provides incredible dynamic range, offering glassy articulation when you play softly and a powerful, clear projection when you dig in. Paired with rosewood, the result is a deep, resonant low end, a slightly scooped midrange perfect for accompanying a vocalist, and a top end that shimmers. The traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing ensures the top can vibrate freely, enhancing its responsiveness and tonal complexity. It’s a sound that records beautifully and sits perfectly in a mix.
Stage-Ready Electronics & Feel
When you’re ready to plug in, the L.R. Baggs Session VTC electronics capture the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with stunning accuracy. The system is designed to deliver a studio-mic’d sound through any PA, with simple, soundhole-mounted controls for volume and tone. The playability is just as impressive, with a comfortable “Round” profile mahogany neck, a smooth ebony fingerboard with a 12-inch radius, and a cutaway that gives you easy access to the upper frets.
Unmistakable Custom Aesthetics
Dressed in a gloss Ebony nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar commands attention. The multi-ply binding on the body and headstock, mother-of-pearl block inlays, and the iconic split-diamond headstock inlay are all hallmarks of a top-tier Gibson Custom instrument. Gold Grover Rotomatic tuners and brass bridge pins complete the high-end appointments, making this a guitar that looks every bit as good as it sounds.
