The Gibson Bats in Flight limited-edition acoustic-electric guitar lets you harness resonant tonewoods and premium pickups for an unforgettable playing experience. Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and flame maple back and sides, this Square Shoulder Dreadnought produces balanced warmth and articulation. Its gold hardware, mother-of-pearl bat inlays and midnight blue finish give it a unique aesthetic that matches its bold tone. Plug in the L.R. Baggs Element pickup system for amplified performance or play unplugged and enjoy the natural resonance of the woods.

Resonant Tonewoods Project with Clarity

The combination of Sitka spruce and flame maple is a recipe for musical magic. Sitka spruce, sourced from the Pacific Northwest, has a balanced tone with clear highs, focused mids and controlled lows. Flame maple provides warmth and richness in the low end with crisp articulation up top. Together, these tonewoods generate a dynamic range with shimmering highs and tight, punchy lows. The tone is highly responsive, projecting your playing with precision.

Mother-of-Pearl Bats Dress Up the Fingerboard

As you glide your fingers across the smooth ebony fingerboard, mother-of-pearl bats mark the positions. This stylish fingerboard inlay, along with the bat motif on the pickguard and bridge, gives this guitar a touch of gothic flair. The 25.5" scale length and 1.575" nut width feel familiar and comfortable, ideal for intricate fingerpicking or strumming full chords.

Plug in for Stage-Ready Performance

When you want to take your music to the stage, the L.R. Baggs Element pickup system provides all the power you need. It captures the natural acoustic resonance of the woods and transfers it to the amplifier with stunning realism. Shape your amplified tone with the volume, bass and treble controls. This pickup system gives you the versatility to go from unplugged practice to plugged-in performance without compromising your signature sound.
