Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist (Baggs HiFi DNA Preamp) - natural
Introduced in 1990, the Gibson Songwriter is a steel-string acoustic guitar designed to meet the needs of professional musicians and optimized for recording in the studio and performing live. It incorporates the fundamental characteristics of historic Gibson models while adding more modern features.
The GIBSON Modern Collection Songwriter Recording Artist (MCSSSWRAHFAN) is a Square Shoulder Dreadnought featuring a rosewood body, an ebony fingerboard, and a Baggs HiFi DNA preamp.
The Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist’s all-solid-wood construction consists of a roasted Sitka spruce solid top, a rosewood back and sides, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard (25.5" scale, 20 frets).
This combination produces a sound that is full, warm, and responsive, with rich, well-defined bass, balanced mids, and generous treble.
The ebony fingerboard subtly and musically compresses the sound, a characteristic that may prove useful in certain musical contexts.
. In addition to giving the wood an elegant patina, the roasting process improves the instrument’s stability, sustain, clarity, and resonance, while protecting it from temperature fluctuations, humidity, and mold.
The Songwriter Recording Artist is equipped with the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system.
The HiFi DNA system uses two sensors placed under the bridge instead of the usual piezo. They perform recordings of vibrations from both the strings and the soundboard. The result is an even more natural and dynamic sound that faithfully reproduces the instrument’s original acoustic character.
Each Baggs HiFi DNA pickup has its own active preamp. The volume and tone controls are located on the inner edge of the soundhole.
Equipped with a high-performance preamp, the Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist is a fundamentally functional and versatile steel-string acoustic guitar that will suit most musicians, regardless of their musical style (folk, country, pop, rock) or playing style (fingerpicking, strumming).
