Description
The Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist EC Left-handed Electro Acoustic in Rosewood Burst is a premium, stage-ready dreadnought designed for players who demand exceptional tone both unplugged and amplified. Blending Gibson’s classic square-shouldered body with a cutaway, long scale neck and the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, it delivers a powerful, articulate voice that translates beautifully in the studio and on stage, all while giving left-handed players a truly professional option. Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, this Songwriter pairs a thermally aged Sitka spruce top with rosewood back and sides for a rich, complex acoustic character that is unmistakably Gibson. The 25.5 inch scale mahogany neck with a comfortable Round profile and bound ebony fretboard offers a smooth, responsive playing feel, while the elegant Rosewood Burst finish and mother-of-pearl detailing give it a refined, high-end look. At the heart of its amplified performance is the Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, using twin bridge-plate sensors and individual preamps to capture the full body and nuance of the guitar’s acoustic tone. With discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls, you can easily shape your sound in real time without compromising the guitar’s natural resonance or appearance. From delicate fingerstyle and intricate lead work to full-bodied strumming, the Songwriter Recording Artist EC is built for the modern left-handed acoustic player who needs a reliable, inspiring instrument that excels in both recording environments and demanding live situations. Thermally Aged Sitka Spruce and Rosewood Powerhouse The combination of a thermally aged Sitka spruce top with rosewood back and sides delivers a mature, open voice straight out of the case. The torrefied top responds quickly and dynamically, while the rosewood body adds depth, warmth and shimmering overtones, giving you a sound that sits perfectly in a mix and feels instantly familiar under the fingers. Comfortable Long Scale Neck with Premium Ebony Fretboard The 25.5 inch scale mahogany neck with a Round profile offers a reassuringly solid yet comfortable feel, ideal for both chord work and intricate single-note lines. A bound ebony fretboard with 20 frets and mother-of-pearl diamond eye inlays provides a smooth, fast playing surface and clear visual reference points, helping you play more accurately and confidently across the entire neck. Cutaway Access for Modern Playing Styles The Songwriter EC body shape features a cutaway that opens up the upper register, making it easy to reach higher frets for solos, melodic fills and extended chord voicings. This design gives acoustic lead players and contemporary singer-songwriters the extra range they need without sacrificing the projection and fullness of a traditional dreadnought. Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup System for Authentic Amplified Tone The Baggs HiFi DNA system uses two lightweight sensors mounted on the internal bridge plate, each with its own optimised preamp, to deliver a full-bodied, natural amplified sound that faithfully represents the guitar’s acoustic character. With gain-before-feedback performance comparable to an under-saddle pickup and discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls, you get powerful, controllable live tone without compromising the instrument’s feel or unplugged sound.Key Features Left-handed Songwriter EC Body with Cutaway – A modern square-shouldered dreadnought design tailored for left-handed players, offering the classic Gibson projection and punch with the added benefit of upper-fret access for solos and advanced chord voicings.
