Gibson G-Writer EC Generation Electro Acoustic, Natural Overview
The Gibson G-Writer EC has been brilliantly crafted for both rehearsal and stage. Designed with a Gibson Player Port, a feature that has been refined from a concept first developed in the early 1960s, Gibson's acoustic luthier team have helped deliver a revolutionary improvement that directs sound from the upper bout to you, meaning you can experience your tone the same way your audience does. Walnut back and sides offer sonic warmth and depth whilst the Sitka spruce top produces well-rounded projection for strong fundamentals even at its quietest.

An advanced response neck profile offers fast playability with a comfortable reach, giving you immense freedom as you glide effortlessly from chord to chord. And the striped ebony fretboard provides an excellent surface to perform on with a crisp, bright attack and fantastic sustain. A beautiful playing experience is ready and waiting for you, and it will lie right at your fingertips.

Gibson have designed the G-Writer to be a pleasure to play. An LR Baggs Element Bronze pickup system with a designated pre-amp produces a sound that is delicate and articulate, allowing you to emit a classic acoustic tone with unbeatable clarity. A designated volume control allows you to keep your practices quiet, or alternatively, you can really dial up the amplitude and blow away the crowds during performances.
Perfect playability
With Gibson guitars it's not just about the quality of the sound, it's about the comfort as well. Finding the perfect balance between great sound on an acoustic and impeccable playability is an artform, but with the G-Writer this is what Gibson has achieved. A slightly thinner cutaway body offers increased comfort and easy access to the upper ranges of the fretboard. The body shape is perfectly fused with an advanced response utile neck, offering up a precise, comfortable grip whilst still providing the flexibility to glide effortlessly across the fretboard. The striped ebony fretboard itself provides an excellent playing surface to achieve perfect accuracy upon. All of this results in a guitar that plays like a dream.
The Player Port
...it's a revolutionary feature based on a concept of Gibson's from the '60s. Not only will you have the main soundhole projecting your glorious tones out to your audience, but you'll also have the benefit of a second soundhole - located on the upper bout of the body - directing your sound to you. This means you'll be able to hear your guitar the way your crowd does, granting you a completely new playing and listening experience. So, when you tune up and sculpt your tone, you'll know exactly how it affects the sound exuding out to your audience.
Quality Gibson design
Constructed with quality materials by craftmanship you can rely on. The Gibson G-Writer EC has been built with your performance in mind. A walnut back is topped with Sitka spruce not only delivering a fantastic, bright tone but also ensuring incredible durability. Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners are employed to deliver impeccable tuning stability, meaning you can spend less time tuning and more time performing. The true brilliance of this electro acoustic can only be truly appreciated when you play it yourself.
