This No-frills Gibson Acoustic-electric Delivers!
There's a place where simplicity and complexity meet — it's called genius. And here at Sweetwater, we think the Gibson G-Writer EC acoustic-electric guitar is genius and then some. Handmade in the USA, G series acoustic guitars pack all the classic Gibson tone, feel, and playability you would expect from a company long regarded as a world leader in acoustic instruments. And to enhance your sonic interaction with this tasty acoustic, the G-Writer comes outfitted with Gibson's Player Port. Located in the upper shoulder of the guitar, the Player Port runs through the inside of the body where all the resonant goodness of an acoustic is produced. The result sends a focused projection of each strum and each note up and into your ears for immediate sonic "feedback"! Here at Sweetwater, we are blown away by how much the Player Port adds to the overall playing experience of the G-Writer. And with an LR Baggs Element Bronze system onboard, you will get a massive amount of rich, authentic acoustic tone when you plug in!

Exceptionally smooth playability
The G-Writer EC's neck is made from utile, a mahogany-like wood with superb tonal characteristics. Its advanced-response profile feels at home in your hand whether you're playing chords or single-note leads. And as you traverse the neck, you'll appreciate the smooth feel of its 25.5-inch-scale striped ebony fingerboard. With a neck that plays this smooth, you'll be able to play longer with less fatigue.
Matchless tonewood combination in a big acoustic!
The G-Writer EC is teeming with gorgeous acoustic tone — and big volume! Its Sitka spruce top yields a direct, punchy sound with incomparable dynamic range. Play the G-Writer EC as hard as you want — it can take it. You'll experience a tone from its walnut back and sides that sounds like a cross between the dark warmth of rosewood and the bright, bell-like ring of maple. As a songwriter-bodied acoustic, the G-Writer EC features a slightly thinner depth, so it sits against your waist comfortably when standing. And with a smooth, deep cutaway, you can access those higher notes up the neck with ease.
With the LR Baggs Element Bronze system in the G-Writer EC, you will want to plug in every chance you get. This renowned system has won over legions of players for its incredibly authentic acoustic tone. The Element under-saddle transducer has a minimalist design and broad surface contact area that help you get the most out of your instrument. It is engineered to sense every movement of your guitar's top, delivering natural tone that is free of the typical piezo "quack" that can plague many under-saddle designs. It is also a fantastic way for modern fingerstyle players to get the most from their percussive techniques. And with controls located conveniently in the soundhole, you won't have an unsightly preamp cut into the side of your guitar.
