Gibson Launch Two New Signature Acoustic Guitars

February 16, 2022

For the past 128 years, Gibson has been synonymous with creating and shaping sound across genres of music and generations of players. Today, Gibson has announced the release of the Jerry Cantrell “Atone” and “Fire Devil” Songwriter acoustic guitars with the legendary singer, songwriter, guitarist, and ALICE IN CHAINS co-founder Jerry Cantrell. The Jerry Cantrell “Atone” and “Fire Devil” Songwriter acoustic guitars are available worldwide through authorized Gibson dealers and via www.gibson.com. Jerry Cantrell’s guitar collection will continue across Gibson Brands including an Epiphone release coming in May of this year.

Whether you’re writing a song at home, laying it down in the studio, or bringing it to thousands on stage, the Jerry Cantrell “Atone” and “Fire Devil” Songwriter acoustic guitars deliver. Made to Cantrell’s specifications and showcased in his recent video for the song “Atone,” the striking “Atone” Songwriter acoustic guitar features a thinner body depth and his signature “Circle In Square” pickguard. The “Fire Devil” Songwriterwill be limited to 100 special edition units and handmade by the expert luthiers and craftspeople of the Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop in Bozeman, Montana. Both acoustic guitars feature a Jerry Cantrell signature on the truss rod and a Double J waterslidedecal on the band of the headstock. Presenting a “12” inlay on the 12^th fret and gold hardware with gold Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, as well as an L.R. Baggs VTC pickup and preamp, the Gibson Jerry Cantrell “Atone,” and “Fire Devil” acoustic guitars are ready to plug in wherever you are.

Last year, Jerry Cantrell released his new solo album Brighten. Co-produced by musician and composer Tyler Bates, and long-time engineer Paul Fig, Brighten features a diverse group of music luminaries including Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) Greg Puciato (The Black Queen / Killer Be Killed / The Dillinger Escape Plan), as well as drummers Gil Sharone (Stolen Babies / The Dillinger Escape Plan) and Abe Laboriel Jr.(Paul McCartney). Additional supporting players include pedal steel master Michael Rozon, Vincent Jones on piano, Wurlitzer and organ, Jordan Lewis on piano, Matias Ambrogi-Torres on strings, and Lola Bates on additional backing vocals. Brighten is available for purchase and streaming here: https://hoo.be/jerrycantrell. Tickets to Cantrell’s 2022 Brighten Tour are available now, as well as his just announced VIP upgrade packages which include the ultimate guitar experience package–featuring the new signature Gibson “Atone” Songwriter Acoustic guitar–as well as meet and greet opportunities, early entry into the venue, and exclusive VIP merch.

About Jerry Cantrell:

Beyond the instantly identifiable riffs and equally recognizable vocals, Jerry Cantrell will always be known as a songwriter, first and foremost. Those songs comprise his influential catalog as co-founder, vocalist, lead guitarist and main songwriter of the iconic Alice In Chains and as a solo artist whose music resounds across culture. He penned two classic solo albums—Boggy Depot [1998] and Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2 [2002]—and appeared on chart-topping records by everyone from Metallica to Ozzy Osbourne, Glenn Danzig, & Deftones. His music can be heard in the films of Academy® Award winner Cameron Crowe and Judd Apatow in addition to blockbuster franchises such as John Wick and Spider-Man. Throughout his career, he’s garnered eleven GRAMMY® Award nominations, logged multiple #1 hits at radio, sold north of 30 million records, and received the 2020 Museum of Pop Culture Founders Award as a member of Alice In Chains. Not to mention, Guitar World cited him as one of the “100 Greatest Guitar Players of All Time.” Additionally, he received the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award from MusiCares in addition to supporting numerous charities over the years. However, he continues to put the songs first on his third full-length solo offering, Brighten. Led by the single “Atone,” these tunes are a worthy addition to Cantrell’s repertoire and the larger American rock ‘n’ roll songbook. www.jerrycantrell.com
