[A#] Hi, I'm Taya Gurken, Senior Editor here at Acoustic Guitar, and today I'm here with this
Gibson Jackson [Gm] Browne Signature Model Guitar.
Jackson Browne has been known for playing vintage Gibson Royce Smack guitars for [N] decades,
and it makes sense that he wanted his signature model to be based on those guitars.
Original Royce Smack models were introduced in 1934, and they were initially designed
for lap-style playing, but the combination of Gibson's slope-shouldered body and a 12-fret
neck resulted in such a great sound that many players had vintage Royce Smacks converted
for standard playing techniques.
In addition, several companies, including Gibson, have offered guitars inspired by the
Royce Smack design over the years.
[F#]
Gibson and Jackson Browne collaborated on prototypes for the signature model for several
years, and the guitar they ultimately came up with is very cool.
Browne is known for being vocal about environmental issues, so it makes sense that he chose sustainably
harvested English walnut for the instrument's back and sides over the Brazilian rosewood
that most vintage Royce Smacks used.
The guitar also has an Adirondack spruce top and a one-piece mahogany [G] neck.
[C#] East Indian rosewood is used for the fingerboard and [Bm] bridge.
The guitar has a 24 ¾ inch scale, a wide 1.8. inch nut, and fingerstyle-friendly 2 316 inches string spacing at the saddle. [D#] The headstock is home to a set of golden Waverly tuners. One cool option for the Jackson Browne signature model is that it can be ordered with a custom-installed Trans Audio pickup system, which is the same setup used by Browne. This is a high-end system that's not usually found as stock equipment, and it was included in our review guitar. [F#] The Trans Audio system consists of two soundboard transducer pickups that are mounted to the bridge plate inside the body, right under here. Called the Acoustic Lens, these pickups are unusual in that they pick up vibrations on all three axes, with the idea being an ultra-accurate reproduction of the guitar's tone. The system also includes an internal preamp in the guitar and an external breakout box. A special cable with a 5-pin connector is needed to hook the guitar up to the box, at which point the user has a choice of using a stereo or mono signal by way of two ¼ inch output jacks. As reviewed, with the Trans Audio system installed, the guitar has a list price of $7,738 and it sells for about $6,000. Without the Trans Audio system, the guitar has a straight price of about $4,500. OK, let's have a listen to the Gibson Jackson Browne signature model. Our review guitar came set up with incredibly low action and light-gauge strings, which, when combined with a short scale, resulted in very easy playability. [G] Gibson clearly knows how to voice a guitar to be responsive, because the Jackson Browne model is able to develop its tone without much effort, even when I play very soft finger-style. [N] But the guitar is also capable of working up some volume when strumming, and given how Browne does a fair amount of both, it makes sense that he'd want the instrument to be versatile in that way. Here it is strummed. [C] [G] [Em] [D] [G]
You can probably hear a few buzzes as I'm digging in, which is the price we pay for the guitar's super low action. I'm certain that raising the strings just a little would yield not only a cleaner sound, but even more volume as well. OK, let's check out the built-in Trans Audio electronics. I'm going to run the guitar into this Fishman Loudbox 100 amp using the mono output on the breakout box, which results in a simple setup. So here we go. [Em] [D] [G] [B]
[D] [G]
[N] As you can hear, the pickups do a remarkable job at reproducing the guitar's tone, and without a doubt, they would sound even more accurate plugged into a larger full-range PA. So that's the Gibson Jackson Browne Signature Model Guitar. Regardless of whether you're a Jackson Browne fan or not, it's a very cool instrument that combines a classic vintage design with a few new ideas, and it sounds great. You can read my full review in the August 2011 issue of Acoustic Guitar or at AcousticGuitar.com. Thanks for watching. I'm Theo Gerken.
