Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist (Baggs HiFi DNA Preamp) - natural

The Gibson Songwriter, introduced in 1990, is a steel-string acoustic guitar designed to meet the demands of professional musicians, whether in the studio or on stage. With a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, it stands out as a must-have choice for artists seeking top performance.

Overview

The GIBSON Modern Collection Songwriter Recording Artist (MCSSSWRAHFAN) is a Square Shoulder Dreadnought that stands out for its rosewood body and ebony fingerboard, while featuring a Baggs HiFi DNA preamp. It is an instrument that combines Gibson’s legendary characteristics with contemporary innovations.

All-solid-wood construction for rich, nuanced tones

The Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist features an all-solid-wood construction, including a roasted Sitka spruce solid top, a rosewood back and sides, and a mahogany neck. This construction delivers full, warm, and responsive tones, enriched by a balanced tonal palette:

• Full-bodied, well-defined bass
• Balanced mids
• Generous highs

The wood’s torrefaction process not only gives the guitar an elegant aesthetic but also improves its stability, sustain, clarity, and resonance, while protecting it from environmental fluctuations.

An innovative preamp system for an authentic sound

The Songwriter Recording Artist is equipped with the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system, which replaces the traditional piezo pickup with two sensors positioned beneath the bridge plate. These sensors capture the vibrations of the strings and the soundboard to deliver even more natural and dynamic tones. Each pickup is paired with its own active preamp, and the volume and tone controls are cleverly placed on the inner rim of the soundhole.

A Versatile Guitar for All Musical Styles

Thanks to its high-performance preamp, the Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist proves to be a highly functional electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar, suitable for a wide range of musicians, regardless of their musical style—whether folk, country, pop, or rock, and accommodating different playing styles such as fingerpicking or strumming.
