Description
The Songwriter may have been first introduced in 2003, but in combining the traditional, hand-scalloped X-bracing of the 1930s with Gibson’s original square-shoulder dreadnaught shape the Songwriter Standard is a timeless representation of the manufacturer’s long, rich history of acoustic innovation. It should come as no surprise then, with rosewood back and sides and a sitka spruce top, that it sings with a wide dynamic range and tonal quality that can only come from decades of mastery. About Gibson Montana:Luthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. in Kalamazoo, MI in 1902. Its original aim was to make mandolins and mandolin-family instruments. Over the last 100-plus years, Gibson Brands, Inc., as it is now known, has since evolved into the world’s premier manufacturer of semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars, as well as a celebrated portfolio of innovative solid-body and acoustic models.“Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness. And they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy... or they become legend.” So wrote Montana author Jim Harrison, perhaps about the master luthiers of Gibson Montana, which produces all of Gibson’s acoustic guitars.
