Description

Introduced in 2003, the Songwriter quickly became a favorite for it’s traditional, hand-scalloped X-bracing and supreme tonal quality. This Songwriter Standard EC improves upon the modern classic by adding rosewood back and sides and a sitka spruce top to a single cutaway body for an even richer dynamic range and improved access to the upper frets.

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.
