Gibson Songwriter Deluxe Standard EC Acoustic Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case (Natural)
The Songwriter Deluxe Standard EC sets a benchmark for today's acoustic guitars by combining several time-honored production elements of the past with a number of modern, cutting-edge appointments.
Using Gibson's popular Songwriter Deluxe Studio as its template, the Songwriter Deluxe Standard EC adds a new compound radius fingerboard for electric guitar-like playing action, and incorporates Gibson’s renowned red spruce top bracing from the 1930’s, bonded with traditional hide glue for maximum tone and volume.
Body Tonewoods
The body design of the Songwriter Deluxe Standard EC is known as a small dreadnought. The top is made from AA-grade Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from rosewood, giving the Songwriter a balanced, warm tone with clear lows and solid treble registers. Selecting the right wood, and the formula to dry it out, are two of the most central procedures to Gibson’s guitar-building process.
Fishman Aura Pro Acoustic Pickup System
Gibson’s Songwriter Deluxe Standard EC comes equipped with a built-in Fishman Aura Pro, featuring Fishman’s popular Aura Acoustic Imaging Technology. This ground-breaking pickup system reproduces the natural sound of the Songwriter Deluxe Standard EC as miked in a professional studio, and onstage, thus eliminating the complicated setups of expensive microphones.
Auro Pro uses digital algorithms to create images of various microphones’ captured sounds. Players can then blend these images with an acoustic guitar’s pickup to produce an immediate and dramatic improvement in amplified sound. The Fishman Aura Pro’s preamp includes a tuner, and is mounted on the bass side rim of the upper bout.
