Gibson Sheryl Crow Signature Acoustic Guitar Review

This guitar is produced as a replica of Sheryl Crows 1962 Gibson Country Western and features a square shoulder body style. It produces a powerful sound thanks in no small part to its large Sitka spruce top. The back and sides of the guitar are mahogany as well as the neck which features a rosewood finger board.

The guitar is very well built and definitely of 'artist' quality. In reviews from real users it's noted that this Gibson signature is a very versatile instrument with a fantastic sound coming from its mahogany back, full of depth and its got that all important volume to cut through the room. On the treble side of things you'll be rewarded with the bell like clarity everyone is looking for from a guitar with this price tag and build quality.

Appearance wise the guitar is beautiful and has mother-of-pearl fretboard inlays and headstock decal logo. Tuning is always a key question on acoustics and this one does not disappoint with nickel tuners and white buttons, it's stable, responsive and smooth in its tuning action. Finally the Sheryl Crow Signature Acoustic Guitar features a great electronics system and of course you can't get more larger than life than a Hummingbird style pick guard to really turn on the flash.

The wood tones represented in this acoustic are very warm and have a honey glow about them thanks to the antique lacquer finish. Sides are stained with dark cherry giving the guitar a very nice overall look about it.

To protect the instrument it comes with a hardshell case and whether travelling or at home you can be sure that this guitar is going to be well protected. Most good guitar stores will have some Gibson Hummingbirds to try out and this model should definitely be on your list, just hope the store has one!
