Songwriter Deluxe Standard EC Acoustic-Electric Guitar Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson Songwriter Deluxe Standard EC Guitar combines several time-honored production elements of the past with a number of modern appointments. Using Gibson's popular Songwriter Deluxe Studio as its template, the Songwriter Deluxe Standard EC Guitar adds a compound radius fingerboard for electric guitar-like playing action. It also incorporates Gibson's renowned red spruce top bracing from the 1930s, bonded with traditional hide glue for maximum tone and volume from the body.Gold Grover Rotomatic Tuners Grover's original Rotomatic tuners are an engineering marvel, with abundant style and performance exactly suited for the Songwriter Deluxe Standard EC. With a gear ratio of 14:1, the Rotomatics deliver precision tuning in a durable housing that provides maximum protection for the gear and string post. All moving parts are cut for exact meshing, eliminating the possibility of slippage. A countersunk tension screw lets players regulate the tuning tension to any degree. A special lubricant inside the gearbox provides smooth and accurate tuning stability.Crown Peghead Logo Gibson put the first crown peghead logo on an ES-300 back in 1940, and it has graced the headstocks of many legendary Gibson guitars ever since, including today's cutaway Songwriter Deluxe Standard EC model. Over the years, it has also been called a "thistle" because of the group of flowering plants with the sharp prickles, though Gibson has preferred to call it a "crown."
