Designed with one of contemporary Christian music's most prolific and celebrated artists, the Steven Curtis Chapman Signature Model (SCCSM) is based on the Grand Auditorium 714 that has long been Chapman's favorite acoustic guitar for recording and performance. The guitar features Indian rosewood back and sides, a tobacco sunburst cedar top, and Indian rosewood binding. The fretboard and headstock inlay designs honor Chapman's daughter Maria, who passed away in 2008 at the age of 5. Both inlays are recreations of Maria�s drawings. The headstock inlay is a flower with a single petal colored in blue, while the fretboard design features a mother-of-pearl butterfly in at the 12th fret, accompanied by the word "SEE" in Maria's handwriting. Pearl fret marker dots are aligned along the bass side. Other features include an abalone rosette, abalone-dotted bridge pins, and Taylor Expression System electronics. Each SCCSM comes with a custom guitar label and a certificate of authenticity personally signed by Chapman. Learn More

The CEO-7 blends vintage inspiration with modern craftsmanship in a compact, slope-shoulder 00 design that sounds as good as it looks. Designed by Chris Martin IV, this model features a solid Adirondack spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides for a warm, punchy tone with excellent clarity and projection. The 24.9" scale length and Modified V neck with a 1 3/4" nut width offer a comfortable, classic feel, while scalloped X-bracing brings out the best in every note. Finished in a striking Autumn Sunset Burst with antique white binding, it’s full of throwback charm—from the abalone Old Style 18 inlays to the aged nickel tuners. Whether you’re playing at home or on stage (thanks to optional electronics), the CEO-7 is a standout. And yes, it comes with a hardshell case—because a guitar this good deserves to travel in style.

The Elvis Costello Century of Progress Signature acoustic guitar is fashioned after Costello's beloved 1936 model. It is a painstaking recreation of his favorite acoustic, used to record and perform many of the songs that made him the iconic musician that he is. Culling information from photos of Costello's treasured guitar and the original blueprints from the 1930s, Gibson Acoustics' team of master luthiers were able to successfully reproduce every attribute of Costello's prized acoustic guitar with flawless accuracy and immaculate attention to detail. No feature was overlooked in the creation of the Elvis Costello Century of Progress acoustic guitar. From the figured eastern hard rock maple used for the back and sides to the Adirondack spruce used for the top and bracing, including vintage-style glue used to put it all together, the acoustic also offers a distinct peghead veneer and period-correct custom pearloid fingerboard, adorned by diamond inlays within Madagascar rosewood rectangle fingerboard markers. The neck is crafted from one solid piece of Honduran mahogany, and hand-sanded to form a pronounced "V" profile. The Elvis Costello Century of Progress from Gibson Acoustic will be released in a very limited run of only 300 instruments, numbered from 001 to 300 with an exclusive black hardshell guitar case adorned with a special Elvis Costello/Gibson stamped commemorative plaque and certificate of authenticity. Each Gibson signature guitar's label will also be personally autographed by Costello. Learn More
