Visually, the Gibson Songwriter EC Custom is a masterpiece. Its rosewood body, capped with a Sitka spruce top, has a gloss ebony finish that gleams under the stage lights. The multi-ply binding on the top, back, and headstock, combined with the single-ply binding on the fretboard, adds a touch of sophistication that sets it miles above the competition. Gold hardware accents complete the look, ensuring that this instrument isn't just heard, but seen.
The sound of the Songwriter EC Custom matches its breathtaking appearance, courtesy of its premium tonewoods. The rosewood body provides deep lows and bright, sparkling trebles, while the spruce top projects with remarkable clarity. Meanwhile, the L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup delivers a crystal-clear sound that retains all the woodiness of the guitar's unplugged voice. For on-the-fly adjustments, this Gibson acoustic sports a set of soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls.
Playability is at the heart of the Songwriter EC Custom's design. Its rounded mahogany neck is crafted for comfort, making it a great fit for a wide range of playing styles. Coupled with that is a smooth ebony fingerboard, featuring 20 standard frets, which ensures smooth navigation and a responsive feel. Whether you're performing speedy solos on stage or creating intricate compositions in the studio, this guitar offers a truly unforgettable playing experience.
Engineered for both beauty and functionality, the Songwriter EC Custom boasts Grover Rotomatic tuners, a traditional belly-up ebony bridge with a bone saddle, and a bone nut, guaranteeing top-notch performance.
