Big Gibson Dreadnought Power With Les Paul Custom Attitude
If you ever wished your favorite Les Paul Custom could turn into a world class acoustic, this is that fantasy come to life. The Gibson Songwriter EC Custom Ebony takes the classic square shoulder dreadnought recipe and loads it up with Custom-level trim, modern playability, and a rich, piano like voice that just keeps blooming the harder you dig in.
This is a lifer level songwriting partner. Huge unplugged resonance, a cutaway that actually lets you live above the 12th fret, and stage ready LR Baggs electronics so the tone you feel in your hands translates to the front of house and the record.
Spruce And Rosewood For Rich, Blooming Tone
The classic combo of a solid Sitka spruce top over solid rosewood back and sides is here in full force. You get that big, balanced Gibson dread sound with a focused low end, woody mids, and glassy top end that never gets brittle.
Traditional hand scalloped X bracing gives the top room to move, so the guitar responds instantly to your touch. Play softly and it stays sweet and intimate. Lean in with a heavy strum and you get huge projection with a controlled low end instead of muddy woof. Real talk, this is the kind of acoustic that makes you want to write one more song every night.
Songwriter EC Body And Cutaway Comfort
The square shoulder Songwriter EC body shape feels familiar under the arm but has a slightly more modern edge. Add the cutaway and you can grab high register chords, lead lines, and harmonics without feeling like you are wrestling the guitar.
The full 25.5 inch scale length gives that taut, responsive feel under the fingers that so many players love. It keeps alternate tunings tight, makes dropped tunings sing, and gives your right hand plenty of headroom for dynamic strumming.
Les Paul Custom Styling On A Serious Acoustic
This is where things get wild. You are looking at full Les Paul Custom inspired cosmetics wrapped around an acoustic workhorse. Gloss Ebony nitrocellulose lacquer, multi ply binding on the top, back, and headstock, and that split diamond peghead inlay hit you the second you open the case.
A bound ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl graduated block inlays, plus gold Grover Rotomatic tuners and the Hummingbird Artist pickguard, make this one of the most striking acoustics in the room. That kind of visual presence matters on stage and in the studio. When a guitar looks this good, you pick it up more, and that adds up to better songs and better playing.
Stage Ready LR Baggs Session VTC Electronics
Plugged in, the LR Baggs Session VTC system keeps all that acoustic character intact. The under saddle pickup and preamp are voiced to sound natural and warm, not quacky or harsh, so your tone sits in the mix without a fight.
Soundhole mounted volume and tone controls stay out of the way visually but are right where you need them mid song. The 1/4 inch endpin jack keeps the look clean while making it easy to hook up to your favorite acoustic amp, PA, or recording interface.
Player Focused Feel And Pro Shop Setup
The round profile mahogany neck feels instantly comfortable, with just enough meat to fill your hand without slowing you down. The 12 inch radius ebony fingerboard and standard frets make bends smooth and chords ring clean all the way up the neck.
At around 4.8 pounds, this Songwriter EC Custom feels solid but never punishing on long gigs. Every one of these gets our full Player Perfect setup, triple inspection, and a custom dial in to your preferred gauge and action before it leaves the shop. Add the hardshell case, free 2 to 3 day shipping, 72 Hour Love It Guarantee, and available 0 percent financing, and you are looking at a serious pro acoustic that is ready for the next decade of your playing.
