Gibson Songwriter Recording Artist (Baggs HiFi DNA Preamp) - rosewood burst

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 live performances. It incorporates the fundamental characteristics of historic Gibson models and combines them with 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 has an all-solid-wood construction, with a roasted Sitka spruce solid top, 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 highs.
The ebony fingerboard provides a noticeable and musical compression to the sound, a characteristic that may prove beneficial 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 both the vibrations of the strings and those of 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 sensor 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 thoroughly 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).
