Gibson Crown Peghead LogoGibson put the first crown peghead logo on an ES-300 back in 1940, and it has graced the headstocks of many legendary Gibson guitars ever since, including today's Sheryl Crow Signature Artist Series. Over the years, it has also been called a "thistle" because of the group of flowering plants with the sharp prickles, though Gibson has preferred to call it a "crown."Gibson PickguardThe

As with all Gibson's pickguards, the coloring, inlay, binding, and engraving are done by hand.

Rosewood Fingerboard with Rolled Edges and Split Parallelogram Inlays The fingerboard of Gibson's Sheryl Crow Signature Artist Series acoustic-electric guitar is constructed from the highest grade rosewood on earth, which is personally inspected and qualified by Gibsons team of skilled experts before it enters the Gibson factories. The resilience of this durable wood makes the fingerboard extremely balanced and stable, and gives each chord and note unparalleled clarity and bite. The Sheryl Crow's split parallelogram inlays are made of genuine mother of pearl, and are inserted into the fingerboard using a process that eliminates gaps and doesn't require the use of fillers. The fingerboard also sports a rolled edge--instead of the usual right angle where the fingerboard surface meets the neck, Gibson Acoustic's rolled edges are slightly beveled for an extremely smooth and comfortable feel, enhancing the playability of the Sheryl Crow Signature Artist Series acoustic-electric guitar. More About the Body Tonewoods of the Gibson Sheryl Crow Acoustic-Electric Guitar The body of the Sheryl Crow Signature Artist Series acoustic-electric guitar is similar to Gibsons J-45 slope shoulder dreadnought design, but with wider, square shoulder accents on the upper bouts. The top is made from AAA-grade Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from mahogany, giving the Sheryl Crow Signature Artist Series a full, balanced expression, with blended dark lows and brilliant highs, making it a desirable acoustic to a wide range of players and musical styles. Selecting the right wood, and the formula to dry it out, are two of the most central procedures to Gibsons guitar-building process. Beginning with its first catalog in 1903, Gibson has assured its customers that every guitar would be built using woods with "the most durable, elastic, and sonorous qualities," and todays guitars from Gibson Acoustic are no different. All About the L.R. Baggs Element Active Acoustic Pickup System Gibson Acoustic's Sheryl Crow Signature Artist Series acoustic-electric guitar comes equipped with the popular Element Active Acoustic Pickup System from L.R. Baggs, which features a low-profile undersaddle element--or transducer--that's proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. Combined with an onboard preamp with an unobtrusive and removable volume control mounted just inside the soundhole, the Element delivers performance not previously attainable from an undersaddle pickup. Its sleek and effective design removes unnecessary internal components to enhance the coupling between the pickup and the guitar, and improve the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end. The Element works with a standard 9V battery, which is housed inside the guitar in L.R. Bagg's new "Battery Bagg." Bracing Every acoustic guitar made by Gibson features hand-scalloped, radiused top bracing inside the body, a feature normally found only in limited run, hand-made guitars. By scalloping each brace by hand, the natural sound of the acoustic is focused more toward the center of the body, enhancing the instrument's sound projection. The bracing inside the body of the Sheryl Crow Signature Artist Series is a single "X" pattern similar to the design

used inside Gibson's traditional dreadnoughts, most notably the vintage J-30s. This bracing pattern delivers a full, balanced expression, with blended dark lows and brilliant highs, making the Sheryl Crow Signature Artist Series a desirable acoustic to a wide range of players and musical styles.
