The Gibson Custom Shop Songwriter EC Vine Rosewood Burst is a beautifully crafted acoustic guitar that brings together traditional Gibson construction, premium tonewoods, and elegant Custom Shop detailing. Its thermally aged solid Sitka spruce top is paired with rosewood back and sides, creating a rich and responsive tonal foundation with warmth, clarity, projection, and impressive dynamic range. The Songwriter EC body shape features traditional scalloped Wide X bracing and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, allowing the guitar to breathe naturally and respond with remarkable sensitivity. Multi-ply binding adorns the top and back, while single-ply binding on the fretboard and headstock adds a refined finishing touch. At 5 lbs 6 oz, the instrument offers a comfortable and resonant presence that feels equally at home in the studio, on stage, or in the hands of a dedicated acoustic player.
The mahogany neck features a comfortable Round profile with a 25.5-inch, or 647.7 mm, scale length and an ebony fingerboard with a 12-inch, or 304.8 mm, radius. Twenty standard frets are adorned with intricate abalone Vine inlays, continuing the graceful botanical theme across the instrument. A 43.82 mm, or 1.73-inch, bone nut provides a traditional acoustic feel, while the dovetail neck-to-body joint, assembled with hot hide glue, reflects the meticulous construction associated with the Gibson Custom Shop. The headstock carries the Gibson logo and matching abalone Vine inlay, complemented by a two-ply black bell truss rod cover and gold-plated Grover open-back tuning machines.
The Songwriter EC Vine is equally prepared for amplified performance, featuring an LR Baggs HiFi under-saddle pickup and LR Baggs HiFi preamp system with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls. Its belly-up ebony bridge features elegant Mother-of-Pearl arrow inlays and is paired with TUSQ bridge pins and a bone saddle, creating a carefully considered foundation for resonance, sustain, and tonal balance. A custom tortoise pickguard provides classic visual contrast, while the gold-finished hardware adds a warm, understated elegance. The adjustable truss rod allows for precise setup, and the endpin jack serves as the strap button while providing a clean and convenient 1/4-inch output connection.
With its thermally aged Sitka spruce, rosewood body, ebony fingerboard, mahogany neck, intricate Vine inlays, and sophisticated Rosewood Burst presentation, this Gibson Custom Shop Songwriter EC represents a meeting of traditional craftsmanship and modern performance. It is fitted with .012, .016, .024, .032, .042, and .053 gauge strings and includes a hardshell case for protection and transport. Identified by model number MCSSSCRARB, this Songwriter EC Vine is an instrument made for players who appreciate exceptional materials, meticulous construction, and an acoustic voice that grows richer with every note. From its scalloped Wide X bracing to its hot hide glue dovetail joint and LR Baggs HiFi electronics, every detail contributes to an instrument with depth, character, and enduring Gibson craftsmanship.
