worth every penny

Gibson seems to be the underrated when it comes to acoustic guitars since gibson is probably best known for the electric les pauls. Nevertheless, this guitar is just outright amazing. it carries such a smooth tone and a big sound. I have a taylor 814 grand auditorium and i dare to say that this songwriter deluxe is just as good for a thousand bucks cheaper. i know it is still a lot of money but believe me, you will not regret the money spent nor will you be disappointed with the sound and feel of the guitar. plus it's absolutely gorgeous. a lot of acoustic guitars compromise tone for aesthetic value while this gibson songwriter gives you superb tone and amazing looks. get this guitar before they run out. it is definitely, definitely worth it.

ACOUSTIC SONGWRITER

IT DON'T GET ANY BETTER.YOU WILL HAVE LOOK REAL HARD TO TOP THIS GUITAR.I WAS OUT LOOKING TO BUY A TAYLOR AT THE TIME.A FRIEND SAID I SHOULD TRY THIS SONGWRITER DELUXE.I WAS UNABLE TO PUT IT DOWN.SO I TOOK IT HOME.I LOVE IT.

Dream Guitar

I have dreamed of owning a Gibson guitar for over 35
years, so my decision to purchase the Songwriter cutaway
was not a hasty one. After much research and playing many different acoustics, I can honestly say
that this guitar is a dream come true. It has the tonal qualities and traditional good looks that you would expect from a Gibson product and is a dream to play.

The action was a little high for my liking right out of the box, but still a very easy player. I will take this guitar to my grave! If you are considering purchasing a high quality acoustic/electric guitar that won't break the bank; This is the one!

Beautiful guitar!

I was hesitant about buying a guitar that I never played before. I can honestly say I was blown away when this showed up on my doorstep. This guitar sounds beautiful. Easy on the eyes as well!! Finish is flawless. Great for fingerpicking and strumming alike...from the minute I picked it up, I knew I had a well built instrument that I will be able to play for years to come.

A really great buy

This is a great-sounding acoustic guitar. Bright without sounding biting or tinny. Rich without sounding boomy or muddy. Just a nice, defined mellow tone. And it records very nicely for a cutaway dreadnaught.

Mine arrived perfectly set-up. Good action. Good intonation. I'd expected I'd make the obligatory trip to the luthier for tweaks, but not in this case.

Another purchase from Matt Bostater

Montana USA made,craftsmanship is better than most Gibson's I own. The more its played the richer the tone. I am not crazy about the pickup system installed, (I prefer Taylor's) but it does ok. Unplugged,this guitar is loud and very clear. You can set the action to your lowest specs and still maintain great tone and playabilty. Nice case!
This guitar satisfies the country/gospel niche perfectly. I bought it from SWEETWATER because of my many,many purchases from them and have never had any issues or complaints. I have sent some items back in the past and was always treated well. Sweetwater service and their GUITAR GALLERY is what keeps me coming back again and again.

Nice

I received this guitar in perfect condition. Gibson really did a nice job. I am very picky and could not find one flaw. Sound is very good...deep rich tones and there is some sort of acoustic compression going on that I can not explain..but its cool. Records really really well...follow the booklet...its very sparce but it helps you get started. Strings they supply are too heavy for me 12's and end up a 54's. I left em on just to try for a while. 10's or 11's will suit me better later I am sure. BTW the neck was straight and flat with a little relief. Thanks to ROB LAU and his expert advice on this guitar, he assisted me in making a great choice as far as spec information. Its tuff to buy an axe when there arent any real shops within 100's of miles. Thanks ROB.
Buy this guitar if you want something to hang on to for years. For great service, but it from SWEETWATER you wont regret it. Did I mention the EBONY fretboard !!!! ??
