The Songwriter Recording Artist EC captures the historic tonal advantages that come from Gibson’s famed 1930s scalloped Advanced X-braced top, 25.5” long scale length, and tonewoods that are similar to the 1936 Advanced Jumbo’s, for a unique sound that is still 100% Gibson. Created for the connoisseur of acoustic recording and live performance, the Songwriter Recording Artist EC is a superior, powerful, and dynamic guitar for the most demanding professional players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Songwriter Recording Artist EC is handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, using a thermally aged Sitka spruce top that is paired with a cutaway body crafted with rosewood back and sides. The cutaway body of the Songwriter Recording Artist EC provides enhanced access to the upper frets, making it ideal for lead guitarists and others who seek expanded range from their acoustic guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25.5” scale mahogany neck has a comfortable Round profile and is fitted with a smooth-playing, bound ebony fretboard that is equipped with 20 standard frets and adorned with mother-of-pearl diamond eye inlays. The neck has a compound dovetail joint and is attached to the body using hot hide glue for a stable connection and maximum tonal transfer. The bound headstock has a rosewood veneer that features the Gibson logo and crown inlaid in mother of pearl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nut is bone, and high-quality gold Grover® open-back tuners are fitted. The bridge is also ebony and is equipped with a bone saddle and TUSQ® bridge pins and decorated with mother-of-pearl arrow inlays. A custom line tortoise pickguard protects the thermally aged Sitka spruce top, which features a wide abalone rosette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the name implies, the Songwriter Recording Artist EC was designed to be a great recording and live performance guitar, and now comes equipped with the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs™ HiFi DNA™ pickup system. This active system uses two lightweight sensors mounted on the internal bridge plate. The sensors are matched with optimized individual preamps to deliver full-bodied, amplified acoustic tone that lets the guitar’s character and personality come through when amplified, with no impact on the unamplified tone. The Baggs™ HiFi DNA™ system offers comparable gain-before-feedback to an under-saddle pickup. The system also includes soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls that are quick and easy to access while playing, and all but invisible to your audience. The Songwriter Recording Artist EC ships in a Gibson hardshell case for protection when you’re on the road and is a great choice for modern acoustic guitarists who perform live and in the studio. Try one for yourself, and prepare to be amazed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid rosewood back and
