The finest offering from the Songwriter family of acoustics.
Gold Grover Rotomatic Tuners
Grover’s original Rotomatic tuners are an engineering marvel, with abundant style and performance exactly suited for the Songwriter Deluxe Custom. 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 gear box provides smooth and accurate tuning stability.
Pickguard
The pickguard on the Songwriter Deluxe Custom is a custom line design made from Tortec. As with all of Gibson’s pickguards, the coloring, inlay, and binding are all done by hand.
Tapered dovetail neck joint allows the body and neck to become one solid piece of resonating wood.
Double-ring rosette with an abalone-filled middle.
Distinctive mother of pearl fingerboard and headstock inlays.
Rosette
A rosette is the beautiful, hand-crafted circle around the soundhole, and can be one of the most ornamental elements of any acoustic guitar. It is also one of the most subtle and complicated woodworking decorations on any acoustic guitar. The rosette on the Songwriter Deluxe Custom is one of Gibson’s finest. It is a double-ring rosette with an abalone-filled middle, with both outer rings consisting of six-ply binding, adding a stylish, understated elegance to the Songwriter line.
