Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist
Acoustic Electric

Studio-ready depth and stage-ready clarity in a handcrafted Bozeman build

The Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist is built for players who demand rich acoustic character, strong projection, and dependable plugged-in performance from a professional-grade instrument. Its square shoulder modern dreadnought body, thermally aged top, and long 25.5 inch scale deliver a powerful and dynamic voice that suits both detailed studio work and confident live performance.

Built for a wide, articulate acoustic voice

This model pairs a thermally aged Sitka spruce top with rosewood back and sides for a tone that is full, responsive, and expressive. Gibson's scalloped Advanced X-bracing helps the guitar speak with clarity and depth, while the long scale length adds definition, projection, and a firm playing feel that many experienced acoustic players appreciate.

Crafted for feel, resonance, and detail

The mahogany neck features a comfortable Round profile and is fitted with a bound ebony fretboard for a smooth, controlled playing experience. Premium appointments such as mother-of-pearl inlays, a bound headstock, bone nut, bone saddle, and Grover open-back tuners reinforce the upscale feel, while the compound dovetail neck joint with hot hide glue construction supports strong tonal transfer and long-term stability.

Ready for the stage and the session

Equipped with the L.R. Baggs HiFi system, the Songwriter Recording Artist is designed to translate its acoustic voice naturally when amplified. The dual bridge plate sensors and internal preamp provide impressive note definition, balanced response, and feedback-resistant performance, while the discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls make quick on-the-fly adjustments easy.

Why choose the Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist

This is an excellent choice for players who want one instrument that can cover demanding recording sessions, live gigs, and serious personal playing with equal confidence. It combines premium materials, refined Gibson craftsmanship, and a natural-sounding pickup system in a versatile Acoustic Electric that is equally rewarding unplugged or amplified.
