Ergonomically friendly comfortable armrest and cutaway and solid electronics.
Washburn's WCG55CE is a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar with a Venetian cutaway for superior upper fret access. A highlight of the Comfort Series is the beveled strip of mahogany at the lower bout which becomes part of the mahogany top binding. The guitar features a koa top and koa back and sides, mahogany and maple bound body and headstock. The satin-finished mahogany neck has an ebony fingerboard devoid of inlays and in tandem with the mahogany bound ebony bridge adds an aura of understated elegance. A maple, mahogany and maple strip splits the book-matched koa back as well. The koa-capped headstock features a pearl-inlaid Washburn logo and stylized W, as well as black Grover tuners with ebonite buttons. The gorgeous rosette is made of alternating maple and mahogany.
The WCG55CE is a fantastic-sounding acoustic guitar in its own right, but the addition of premium Fishman electronics makes for an outstanding stage performance guitar. The Fishman 501T Presys+ is an integrated tuner/preamp system for versatile amplified tonal shaping.
Washburn Comfort Series
