onewilyfool Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Are Gibson Songbirds all solid wood construction? Did these eventually become the Songwriter???
larryp58 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Yes, Wiley! They started out as the "CL" line or Custom Line, then SongBird, now SongWriter. A small-bodied dreadnaught. Sitka spruce top, RW back and sides. Usually come with Fishman pickup. Great tone! I love mine!

onewilyfool Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 Do any of you have the mahogany B&S version satin finish on B&S, gloss finish on top??? Any reviews, any comments? Thanks…>Rob
larryp58 Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Larry, what do these usually sell for used? Thanks..>Rob The model I have has RW back and sides and Sitka top in gloss nitro. I believe they're going for around $1200-$1500 now. I don't know about the satin mahogany models. Here's a pic of mine (on the left).
