 Washburn Guitars Launch Affordable All Solid Wood Timbercraft Acoustic SeriesWashburnPosted 2005-01-24 Washburn Guitars today announces the release of five new solid wood acoustics, the Timbercraft Series. These guitars will premier at this winter’s NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. The five models; D52SW, D52SWCE, D56SW, D56SWCE and the F52SWCE have solid spruce tops with solid wood backs and sides, as well as one piece mahogany necks. The series has a retail price tag that is between $999.90 and $1,349,90, which is half the price you would expect to pay for an all solid wood acoustic of this quality. “The tone and playability of our new Timbercraft series guitars rival that of many guitars that are twice the price” said Matt Cantlon, Washburn Guitars Product Manager.
The D52SW is completed with a solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides and maple binding on the body. The one piece mahogany neck contains stylized, diamond mother-of-pearl inlays, a rosewood fret board and maple binding. The guitar is equipped with Grover 18:1 tuners and a very attractive Abalone rosette. The D52SW retails at $999 and is also available as an acoustic electric, consisting of B-band electronics and an added cutaway. This D52SWCE retails for $1299.90.
The D56SW and D56SWCE are solid Rosewood versions of the D52SW and D52SWCE.
For the more articulate, finger-styled players, Washburn will premier the F52SWCE. This guitar features a folk style cutaway body, B-band electronics, a solid spruce top, as well as solid mahogany back and sides. The one-piece mahogany neck features mother-of-pearl stylized diamond inlays on a rosewood fret board. “It’s amazing how huge the tone is from such a small bodied guitar, you really get a lot of well balanced bass response from this guitar,” states Matt Cantlon. The F52SWCE retails for $1,279.90.
