First made known in in 2003, the Songwriter combines Gibson`s classic bracing patterns of the 1930s with Gibson's original modern dreadnought shape, giving you amazing tonal quality. The solid rosewood back and sides, paired with the solid Sitka spruce top, gives you a full, rich, and balanced tone. The cutaway body ensures outstanding access to the upper frets on the comfortable, ebony fretboard-equipped round profile mahogany neck. This model of the Songwriter receives the Custom treatment, with Les Paul™ Custom-inspired cosmetics, including an Ebony nitrocellulose lacquer finish, multi-ply binding on the top and back, a Les Paul-fashioned peghead with a Custom split diamond inlay in mother of pearl, a bound ebony fretboard with mother of pearl Custom Block inlays, and gold Grover® Rotomatic® tuners. It comes prepared with L.R. Baggs™ Session VTC electronics and a hardshell case.
