Compact body with added comfort of an armrest and cutaway as well as abalone appointments and Barcus-Berry electronics.
The flagship offering in Washburn's Bella Tono series, the Allure SC56S acoustic-electric features a solid spruce top, gorgeous acacia body and cutaway body design for easy access to the upper frets. The soundboard is adorned with stunning abalone for both the rosette and purfling, and is bound in maple. The ebony fingerboard continues with the lush appointments; depicting a beach island scene of a palm tree and birds in flight – all inlaid in exquisite abalone and turquoise.
The Washburn Studio body design makes the Bella Tono Allure SC56S an incredibly comfortable playing experience while managing to maintain the tight lows, focused mids and clear highs commonly associated with larger body sizes. The solid spruce top helps define sonic nuances throughout the entire register of the instrument and showcases Washburn’s Comfort Arm Rest. Its full 25.5" scale length extends an undeniable familiarity to the player and the satin-finished, modern "C" profile of the mahogany neck is smooth and cozy feeling in the hands. For live performance or in the studio, it comes equipped with a Barcus-Berry LX4 pickup system.
Bella Tono Series
The design team at Washburn wanted to build an instrument with appointments of elegant design and taste, combined with premium sound and exceptional comfort of playability. Each Bella Tono model features Washburn’s Studio body shape. This shape was carefully designed specifically to retain the best attributes of a full-sized body, while delivering the best attributes of a smaller body. Petite in dimension, these bodies deliver a rich and full voice with clarity and projection while retaining the tight focus of a smaller body. The Bella Tono's refined body is matched up with a comfortable, modern neck profile and a long list of visually striking upgrades resulting in a collection of guitars that you will love.
