Overview
The Washburn EA15-ATB continues the legacy of the iconic Festival Series, the acoustic-electric line that defined the sound of the "MTV Unplugged" era. This model features a Mini Jumbo body shape with a deep Florentine cutaway, offering a focused, intimate voice that is ideal for smaller players, students, or stage performers who find dreadnoughts cumbersome. The stunning flame maple top, finished in Transparent Blue gloss, is paired with catalpa back and sides to produce a tone that blends crystalline highs with a full, rounded low end, projected clearly by quarter-sawn scalloped Sitka spruce bracing.
Designed for the gigging musician, the EA15 is equipped with the Barcus Berry EQ4T electronics system. This plug-in-ready setup includes a built-in tuner, 4-band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence), and a notch filter for feedback control, ensuring your sound remains pristine in any venue. With a comfortable mahogany neck, NuBone nut for enhanced sustain, and durable chrome die-cast tuners, this guitar offers professional reliability and striking visual appeal at an accessible price point.
