All Modern Classic guitar models feature:

  • Industry's finest electronics

Dreadnought Beauty
In 1960 Gibson introduced its first 16 inch wide dreadnought with the extra wide upperbout, known as the square shoulder body shape. To emphasize the importance of these new models, Gibson outfitted them with elaborate ornamentation such as engraved pickguards and multi-layered binding. As discriminating guitarists immediately discovered, underneath the flashy good looks was a solid, high quality guitar.

The Songwriter Deluxe Cutaway – A Modern Classic
Born of a demand for a modern performance masterpiece, the Songwriter Deluxe Cutaway sports a smaller square shouldered dreadnought frame and Gibson’s unique advanced X bracing system. Further features include a premium Sitka spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides, a generous cutaway allowing easy access to the upper frets, and a comfortable mahogany neck with radiused Ebony fingerboard . The result is an elegant, player friendly instrument that really pumps out the volume. The added active electronics allow you to take that sound anywhere.

Subject:Great Guitar!!
Quality: I think with care it will last a lifetime. It is made of fine wood so it will need to be cared for. I won't be throwing this in the corner when I am done with it for the day.
Sound: The tone is fuller than the Taylors that I was looking at. There is a lot more lower end than most of the others I tried. To me the tone is perfect.
Reliability: I have only had if for a few months but no issues.
Overall: I played everything I could get my hands on before I gought this guitar. It is like a piece of art and it makes me want to play more.
Playability and Feel: I am not sure one acoustic guitar is easy or hard to play.
Tone: I would say dark and smmooth, but the bright sounds definately come through. It is the best sound I found, but I haven't played anything over about $3500.
Finish: The finish is amazing, flawless what more can I say. The ebony fretboard is very nice.
Action: Action was good and very playable right out of the box. I have not had it in for a set up yet.
Skill Level: Intermediate

Subject:Songwriter Deluxe is SWEEEEEET!
Quality: This guitar is top notch. I played at least 50 other guitars to compare and this one beat all of the them, including a $3,000 Martin.
Reliability: Solid. I haven't had it long but all of the reviews state super reliability. Feels super sturdy. I'm not afraid to handle it, I play fairly heavy.
Overall: Overall. I love this guitar. Looks, feel, sound. I use it in an acoustic duo, to record and just to write. It plays so nicely it inspires me. The electronics are also great. I plug it into my amp and it sounds perfect. Can't wait to play live with it.
Playability and Feel: Feels good. Has a more solid feel to me then other guitars I played. I like to strum hard and still have a solid, smooth feel. The guitar is just fun to play, easy to handle and sits nicely when you're in a studio tracking. Chords feel good to play; you're not struggling to hold down every fret. It just sort of happens. Great for lead stuff too!
Tone: The tone is the main reason I bought this guitar. Other guitars, say Taylor, sounded good but too bright. Some guitars had a good bottom end but the brightness was missing. This guitar pretty much covers it all. It just is so solid, but bright. It's amazing. I made my band mate and girlfriend sit in guitar stores and listen to this guitar compared to others and we determined that gibson makes magical guitars, especially this one!
Finish: Beautiful.
Action: Out of the box plays nicely. I may have it set up for a bit lower of action but I do this with every instrument.
Skill Level: Semi-Pro
