With six regular acoustics, one acoustic travel-sized guitar and one metal axe, Washburn puts the acoustic side of the catalog under the spotlights this year.
Washburn Guitars is one of the premier brands of acoustic instruments, not just in America, but around the world. With more than a century long tradition, Washburn is among the selected few makes which saw two turns of a century, along with Gibson, Martin and a few others. This year`s catalog updates, though few in numbers, paint Washburn`s diversity very well. Six of eight models are regular acoustics, three are dreadnoughts and three are vintage parlors. One model is a simple, affordable travel-sized acoustic, while the final eighth model is a six-stringed metal axe. All three dreadnoughts are introduced into the affordable Woodcraft series - WCSD30S, WCSD42S and WCSD50S are their names. Parlor series updates are WP26SENS, WP21SENS and WP11SENS. RO10E is the only Rover series update, while the Marzi Montazeri Priestess carries the banner of the electric six-string division.
The first on the menu, we have the simple and affordable WCSD30S in a non-cutaway dreadnought form with a natural satin finish. This fully acoustic dread rocks the mahogany/spruce body with wooden rosette and solid top, mahogany neck with a maple fingerboard and chrome hardware. For further info, check the WCSD30S detail page on our site or Washburn Guitars official web site.
WCSD42S is the second of three Woodcraft models introduced for 2015. Solid spruce sound board with spruce bracing, and spalted maple on the sides and in the back make up the body of this model. Mahogany neck is attached through a 14th fret dovetail joint and has a rosewood fingerboard on top. For further info, check the WCSD42S detail page on our site or Washburn Guitars official web site.
WCSD52S comes with koa sides and back, as well as with a solid Sitka spruce sound board with spruce bracing.

Parlor series is becoming richer for three new models in 2015 and WP26SENS Is the highest ranking among them. It comes with a rosewood/spruce body with spruce bracing, mahogany neck with a two-way truss rod, 18-fret rosewood fingerboard with 19th century inlays and Fishman Sonitone electronics.
