The Songwriter series from Richwood is developed to have a very focused, voluminous and inspiring sound to accompany a singer-songwriter as well as any other guitarist. To achieve this, we have applied a special and unique lattice bracing. No other acoustic guitar maker has yet used this classical guitar bracing in a steel-string guitar. This bracing pattern is responsible for a well-defined sound with more punch than a guitar with ordinary X bracing.

To emphasise this difference, we have developed new cosmetics with wooden fittings and bridge pins. A new rosette with abalone and wood, and no pickguard.
The SWG-150-CE has a solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood sides and back. The rosewood gives this guitar a powerful, resonant sound. The Fishman Presys+ amplification system guarantees trouble-free performance on stage, with great flexibility in shaping the sound.

Like all Richwood Master Series guitars, the Songwriter Series offers excellent playability with a very comfortable neck profile.
