Washburn introduces bluegrass guitar

Event Details

Washburn D64SW Washburn Guitars has announced their newest acoustic dreadnaught guitar, the D64SW, just in time for the NAMM Winter Show in Anaheim, CA (1/18-21/07).

The D64, which Washburn has dubbed “The Bluegrass,” is a solid wood guitar, with a spruce top and rosewood back and sides. The neck is mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard, bone nut and saddle, and a tortoise look pick guard.

They describe the guitar as being made with a bluegrass picker in mind.

“This guitar is designed to produce precise tones with crisp highs and a pronounced, defined bottom end with volume ideally suited to the Bluegrass player.”

“The Bluegrass” will ship with a deluxe hardshell case and carry a retail price of $1,499.90. You can search for Washburn dealers on their web site, or check out the new guitars at booth #5244 if you’ll be attending the NAMM Show in Anaheim.
