Washburn
Description
The WCG25SCE 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 top at the lower bout and, in the case of the WCG25SCE, the bevel becomes part of the beautiful mahogany binding. The guitar features a book-matched solid Sitka spruce top, rosewood back and sides, as well as a mahogany and maple bound body and headstock. The mahogany neck has a rosewood fingerboard devoid of inlays, and in tandem with the mahogany bound rosewood bridge, adds an aura of understated elegance. The maple, mahogany and maple strip splits the book-matched rosewood back as well. The rosewood-0capped headstock features a pearl-inlaid Washburn logo and stylized W, as well as Washburn branded die-cast tuners with ebonite buttons. The gorgeous rosette is made of alternating maple and mahogany.

The WCG25SCE is a fantastic-sounding acoustic guitar on its own, but the addition of premium Fishman electronics makes it an outstanding stage performance guitar. The Fishman Presys+ is an integrated tuner/preamp system for versatile amplified tonal shaping.

    I'd been looking at Washburn Comfort Series guitars for a while. I owned a Washburn back in the day and was in the market for a new acoustic/electric for use during Sunday services. My local Guitar Center in Danvers indicated they had one of these in stock. My initial impression wasn't too favorable, but I was pleasantly surprised to find they had a second one in stock that actually exceed my initial expectations! The guitar plays with ease and sound wonderful. The Fishburn built-in electronics work flawlessly and allow for balance between the under-saddle pickup and the preamp's built-in microphone. I've had the guitar for a few weeks now and couldn't be happier!

  • Beautiful guitar and a pleasure to play it!

    I got this guitar about a year ago and have not had any issues with the battery as someone mentioned. It was nice right off the box buy recently I had it set up and boy, it got 10 times better. If feels, sounds, and looks amazing. Great for finger picking.

  • Beautiful, wonderful sound, and great value!

    I spent an hour playing multiple acoustics, including many that were more than double the price of this beautiful Washburn. NONE of them resonated with me more than this Comfort Series acoustic-electric. The full sound was rivaled only by the most high end competitors. I love it!

    I own a WASHBURN Comfort and I love it. I've had it for about 5 years with no issues. As for as the battery issues some have complained about, that's a user problem and not a guitar problem. I have no regrets and no buyer remorse. I think you'll be happy with this guitar.

    It's a pretty solid guitar for less the $1k. I've been playing this model for a few years now and I'm pretty happy with it. The only thing I caution is the battery being left in the tuner/ audio control. I recommend if you're not using it , to either flip the battery around backwards or remove it completely. Otherwise, the battery will drain completely.

  • Absolutely beautiful guitar, sounds incredible

    The build quality is incredible and it feels very comfortable to play. It's not the loudest guitar in the world if you like fingerpicking, but it has a very clean high and midrange and strong bass.

    I can get this same Wasburn WCG25SCE for 0% 48 mth financing from Sweetwater. Doesn't Guitar Center use the same finance company? Will you match the financing arrangement?

    We are able to match pricing but not financial agreements.
