Gibson Les Paul Studio

This is a 2009 Gibson Songwriter Deluxe Acoustic Electric Cutaway with factory Fishman Electronics. As you can see from the pictures I take very excellent care of my instruments and this is a special buy for someone who looking for a heirloom quality instrument hand built in Montana. I am super bummed to have to sell this guitar as I was planning on handing it down to my kids someday but there will be others... I am a nut about humidity and the guitar will come with the planet waves humidity packs. I know there is a string missing, so I am throwing in a set of cleartone acoustic strings along with it that are $15. Also I'll give you a strap and you can see the original warranty paper work comes with the guitar as well. I will ship the guitar free anywhere in continental US but I am willing to work out shipping international, alaska, hawaii, etc. as long as the buyer pays for shipping. -kz-

"With the Songwriter Deluxe Cutaway Modern Classic, Gibson took their already-popular small square-shoulder dreadnought body style and added a cutaway, making a very attractive, very playable guitar. The Songwriter Deluxe Cutaway Modern Classic is a great performance instrument with outstanding acoustic tone plus Fishman active electronics - it sounds great onstage and unplugged! The Songwriter Deluxe Cutaway Modern Classic's solid Sitka spruce top is set off by a solid rosewood body with checker marquetry. The top is rimmed with 6-ply binding, with a single-ply binding on the back. The mahogany neck offers a comfortable round profile, topped by an ebony fingerboard. An abalone rosette and mother-of-pearl headstock crown contribute to the Songwriter Deluxe Cutaway Modern Classic's good looks.

Modern Classics, improved
Delivering quality craftsmanship and classic style, Gibson guitars will always be of the best in the world. Yet, the same technological developments that constantly change and revolutionize the audio industry are also impacting the needs and wishes of modern musicians: Gibson knows this. With the release of the Modern Classic line, Gibson gives a nod to the modern guitarist - the guitarist who needs onboard electronics, cutaways to reach the uppermost frets, modified neck profiles, and setups that allow playability - no matter the style of playing. With these features in mind, Gibson redesigned the entire Modern Classic line to give us premium, handcrafted guitars that play easier, intonate better, sound great plugged in, and stay in tune even better than before. These guitars feature the latest design advancements, including radiused, or rolled fingerboard edges, giving you a fast, comfortable feel. And, with string height lower at the nut, these guitars will also play even easier and intonate better all the way up the neck. Final Gibson touches, including new soundhole labels, sturdy Grover tuners, and premium Fishman pickups, make it easy for you to take your favorite traditional-style Gibson acoustic onto the modern stage with confidence!

Quality construction
All Modern Classic guitars are handcrafted by Gibson in Bozeman, MT, from premium tonewoods and components. The Songwriter Deluxe Cutaway Modern Classic is no exception, producing fine tone with its solid Sitka spruce top, and solid rosewood back and sides. With a round mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, and sculpted tortoise pickguard, the Songwriter Deluxe Cutaway Modern Classic is as stylish as it is playable. Gibson added gold Grover tuners and premium Fishman pickups to ensure that the Songwriter Deluxe Cutaway Modern Classic will stay in tune and sound great - whether you're playing plugged-in onstage, or strumming in your living room.

Square shoulder cutaway style
The Songwriter Deluxe Cutaway Modern Classic is both beautiful and playable.

Gibson: Don't Mess with a Good Thing
Gibson guitars have been around for well over a century. When guitarists are looking for an outstanding combination of superb tone and playability along with great looks and gorgeous finishes, the choice for most of those 100 plus years has been Gibson. From their amazing collection of fine acoustics to the electric guitars that literally rewrote music history, Gibson guitars have been on almost every chart-topping album from artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream and Led Zeppelin. These "first call" instruments also cross an enormous array of diverse styles, from folk and country to blues and hard rock. With that resume, it's not surprising that so many of Gibson's best-selling instruments have changed little over the decades. Because there's just no sense in messing with a good thing!"
