Warm, Balanced Tone With Rosewood and Spruce

The Songwriter Standard EC Rosewood sings with a warm, balanced tone thanks to its rosewood back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top. The rosewood contributes a rich low end and crisp highs, while the spruce provides excellent resonance and dynamics. Together they create a versatile acoustic voice that works for any style, from rock to folk to country. The scalloped X-bracing gives the spruce top superior vibration for better projection, articulation and volume. You'll love the guitar-like feel and shimmering acoustic tone.

Fishman Electronics Accurately Capture Your Natural Tone

The onboard Fishman pickup and preamp system lets you accurately capture the Songwriter's natural acoustic voice when plugging into an amplifier or PA system. The undersaddle pickup combined with a soundhole-mounted preamp produces a balanced, feedback-resistant signal. Shape your tone with the preamp's 4-band EQ and built-in tuner.
