Folk guitar

The Gibson Songwriter is an iconic steel-string acoustic guitar, designed to meet the demands of professional musicians. Ideal for both studio recordings and live performances, it combines tradition and innovation.

Overview

The GIBSON Modern Collection Songwriter Recording Artist EC (MCSSSCRAHFRB) is a square-shoulder Dreadnought guitar with a cutaway, featuring a rosewood body and an ebony fingerboard, as well as advanced Baggs HiFi DNA preamp technology. Its design strikes a perfect balance between the characteristics of Gibson’s historic models and modern features.

All-solid-wood construction for exceptional sound

The entire body of the Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist EC features an all-solid-wood construction, including a roasted Sitka spruce top, a rosewood back and sides, and a mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard (25.5" scale, 20 frets). This configuration delivers rich and responsive tones, including:

Powerful, well-defined bass
Balanced mids
Shimmering highs

The wood-roasting process adds an elegant patina while improving the instrument’s stability in the face of temperature and humidity fluctuations.

A revolutionary recording system for faithful sound reproduction

The Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist EC stands out thanks to the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system. This system uses two pickups positioned beneath the bridge plate to simultaneously capture the vibrations of the strings and those of the soundboard. This allows for an even more natural and dynamic sound reproduction, faithfully harmonized with the instrument’s acoustic character. Each pickup is equipped with its own active preamp, with volume and tone controls accessible on the inner edge of the soundhole.

Versatility and Convenience for All Musicians

With its high-performance preamp and practical cutaway, the Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist EC is an extremely versatile electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar. It easily adapts to various musical styles such as:

Folk
Country
Pop
Rock

Whether you prefer fingerpicking or strumming, this guitar will meet the needs of all musicians, no matter their style.
