Gibson Generation Series G-Writer EC Acoustic, Natural Overview
The Gibson Generation Series G-Writer EC Acoustic in Natural sports the sleek and sophisticated Songwriter body shape. With its comfortable playability, beautifully balanced tone and LR Baggs electronics, the G-Writer EC is a pro-quality acoustic guitar that’s primed for live performance. It also comes with a Gibson Gig Bag.
Classic Songwriter Shape
What separates the Gibson G-Writer EC acoustic from the other models in the Generation Series is its Songwriter body shape. The Songwriter is a more contemporary design that was introduced in 2003 and effortlessly combines the best of classic and modern Gibson. This innovative body shape delivers exceptional tonal balance and a luxurious playing experience by melding a renowned 1930s bracing pattern with Gibson’s iconic square-shouldered dreadnought shape. This advanced bracing pattern opens up more of the top, adding warmth and widening the dynamic range. It’s a huge part of what makes Gibson acoustics from that era so sought after.
The Gibson G-Writer EC acoustic excels at practically any playing style or genre, from intricate Folk fingerpicking to aggressive Country strumming. The G-Writer EC’s dreadnought form factor strikes a nice balance between the larger G-200 EC Jumbo and the compact G-00 Parlour, whilst the elegant cutaway provides easy access to the upper frets.
Premium Electronics
Gibson has kitted out the G-Writer EC acoustic guitar with a premium LR Baggs under-saddle preamp and pickup system. More and more acoustic players are relying on inbuilt electronics for performance, making them indispensable if you plan on gigging. The LR Baggs Element Bronze system accurately conveys the detailed nuance of the G-Writer EC’s acoustic voice, resulting in an articulate and natural plugged-in tone. Plus, the volume control is discretely mounted within the soundhole, preserving the G-Writer EC’s old-school Gibson look.
The Gibson G-Writer EC is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a highly versatile acoustic guitar that plays effortlessly and sounds amazing. It’s also the most affordable Gibson acoustic that boasts the Songwriter body shape.
