Gibson Custom Shop / 2012 Songwriter Deluxe EC KOA Standard
—The Ultimate Electric Acoustic Crafted from Rare KOA Wood
“Are you looking for an acoustic guitar that stands out from the crowd—one with ‘your own unique sound and look’—for live performances and recording?”
While classic rosewood and mahogany guitars are wonderful, haven’t you ever felt that you want “a more beautiful grain that really stands out on stage” or “a tone with clear high-end projection that becomes sweeter the more you play it”? A
run-of-the-mill standard model might not fully express your individuality or your dedication to sound.
This 2012 Gibson Songwriter Deluxe EC KOA Standard fulfills all those ideals. It’s a special instrument that blends
Gibson’s tradition with the beauty of rare wood and modern playability.
—Breathtakingly Beautiful Hawaiian Koa
Rare koa wood is lavishly used for the top, sides, and back. The beautiful grain, which shines under
stage lights, captivates all who see it.
—A Fully Matured, Exquisite Koa Sound A crisp, bright, and resonant tone unique to koa
wood.
Since it was built in 2012, the wood has dried thoroughly and has matured beautifully into the “sweet, sparkling tone” characteristic of koa.
—EC Specifications Perfect for Live Performance
The cutaway (C) design makes playing solo phrases in the higher frets a breeze.
Furthermore, equipped with a high-quality pickup (E), it serves as a top-tier Electric Acoustic guitar ready to perform the moment you plug it into an amp.
Even within Gibson’s Songwriter series, models made with koa wood are produced in limited quantities and are rarely seen on the used market.
Furthermore, since the grain pattern is completely unique to each instrument, this 2012 model—with its beautiful appearance and matured tone—is truly “one of a kind.” The rarity of koa guitars continues to rise year after year, and the chance to find one in this condition is extremely rare.
For those seeking a lifelong companion that combines great looks, sound, and playability—don’t let this one slip away to
another player! Check out the product images and specifications on the product details page right now!
