The Washburn Comfort WCG66SCE Spalt Maple Acoustic Electric Guitar is a Grand Auditorium style acoustic/electric guitar with a Venetian cutaway for superior upper fret access.
A highlight of the Comfort Series is the deluxe re-curve style ergonomic armrest bevel at the lower bout which becomes part of the mahogany top binding. The guitar features a solid Western Red Cedar top and Spalted Maple back and sides, mahogany/maple bound body and head stock. The satin finished mahogany neck has an Ovangkol fingerboard devoid of inlays and in tandem with the mahogany bound Ovangkol bridge adds an aura of understated elegance.
A maple/mahogany/maple strip splits the book matched Spalted Maple back as well. The headstock features a mother-of-pearl Washburn logo and 18:1 ratio tuners. The Washburn Parquet style rosette is made of alternating maple and mahogany.
The G66SCE Spalt Maple is an amazing 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’s Comfort Series combine looks and ergonomics to deliver the ultimate player-friendly guitars. With their armrests, these guitars hug the body rather than digging into it and provide a comfortable and smooth playing experience whether you’re sitting or standing.
