Description

The Songwriter 12-string is sweeter than ever. Gibson pairs traditional, hand-scalloped X-bracing, rosewood back and sides and a sitka spruce top with their beloved square-shouldered 12-string to produce unparalleled projection, clarity, power, and volume. Even without the LR Baggs VTC pickup system, this is a force to be reckoned with.

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.
