Here for sale we have a Washburn EA36 Festival Electro-Acoustic Guitar in Blue finish. Made in Korea in the 1990's this guitar consists of a Maple top, a thin line Maple body, a Maple neck, and a 23-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include the Florentine cutaway, on-board Equis II electronics and "computer designed" sound channels. The preamp has controls for Contour, Level and a 3-band EQ.
The Maple neck plays well, with the Rounded 'C’ profile filling the hand comfortably without being at all cumbersome and offering a solid grip for effortless chordal playing. The
frets also enhance chordal playing as well as making articulate melodic playing more practical providing effortless navigation of the entire 12” radius. The cutaway design offers excellent access to the upper register whilst the the thin body sits comfortably against the body in both seated and standing positions.
The Washburn EA36 provides a bright and sparkly voice, with a focussed mid range that keeps things punchy. The low end is understated yet detailed, giving the guitar a very distinctive tone. The use of Rosewood for the fingerboard and bridge ensure a fast and snappy attack that captures every nuance of your playing. The Maple top projects a bright and dynamic sonic range that sings each note. The preamp system does a great job of interpreting the natural tone of the guitar, whilst the easy to use controls provide the player with comprehensive control of the amplified tone, perfect for a gigging musician.
