Gibson Songwriter Deluxe

Gibson Songwriter Deluxe Cutaway SoundCheck - great for recording especially as a strummer, not too boomy. Versatile pickup with built in tuner gives enough options to tailor it to fit into the mix. Wide neck makes it comfortable for fingerstyle too. Great build quality and has loads of headroom to really dig in when you want to, very comfortable with 12s and handles 13s without flinching. Recorded direct to disk via Rode NT2, not using pickup.

hey is it the studio version one of the EC one? it has built in tuner??? was that an upgrade you did? what model comes with it?

[boneidlewaster]

@inkwon84 it's the regular SD cutaway, the fishman pickup comes with built in tuner. the non cutaway version just has a soundhole volume control. the songbird is an entry level version and the "standard" version is actually their higher end version.

Hi Totaroni, normally stick with 12s...

[boneidlewaster]

I like low action, so tweaked the truss rod slightly, replaced the stock saddle with a TUSQ replacement saddle which I filed down nice and low and use 12s.

Hi DJ, I'd say that its strength is as a strummer, it's great with a plectrum, really takes hard playing well, even unplugged it' s LOUD, but balanced and the pickup is flexible+does a good job live.

For fingerstyle, it's got a wide 1 3/4 neck, but wouldn't recommend it primarily for that, don't find it too comfortable for that style.

Overall, looks great, sounds great, so if it's got mojo when you play it and you get a good deal, go for it :)

Hi Janis, tut mir leid, don't have any tabs, was just jamming it, think it's just E based barre shapes.

It feels like a humming bird and has the weight of one as well.

it also sounds like one but it rings louder than a humming bird in my opinion

[Denvermorgan2000]

I agree 100 percent its one of the best sounding guitars i ever heard

i played some taylors and martins but they did not have the tone of the song writer deluxe i would buy it again if i had to this guitar reminds me of the gibson humming bird it just hums when you play it i fell in love with mine the first time i played it i played 5 mins and then walked out the door with it.

[dave777blaster]

In my opinion it's of the best guitars on the market

I still am amazed with  tone of it.

Gibson hit a home run on this guitar.
