This model was the first guitar out of the Bozeman factory to return to the legendary “Advanced Bracing” for the huge bass we expect from the Advanced Jumbo Gibsons of the Pre-War era.  The Songwriter eventually evolved into the guitar we now see as the Songwriter Deluxe.

    The Songwriter Deluxe is part of the Gibson Modern Classic Square Shoulder Series and built in the spirit of the famous square shoulder guitars such as the Dove and  Hummingbird. Though this instrument is  not a “historic” model, it incorporates many decorative features taken from Historical Gibson guitars going back to Pre-war and even to the Orville Gibson days. The bridge design, fretboard inlay, pickguard, nitro lacquer and multiple binding, all come from various Gibson models to give this guitar the aura of a historical model. 

    Ren has also added some nice touches of his own to the Songwriter deluxe, such as a hide glue dovetail neck joint and the Modern Classic neck with its rolled fingerboard edges and almost "electric guitar" feeling contour ... something most players feel instantly at home on.
