Washburn F11SCE Heritage Electro Acoustic, Natural

Full Description

A Singer/Songwriter's Guitar

The Washburn Heritage features a folk body shape. This curvaceous design provides you with an incredibly smooth playing feel, while offering a beautifully balanced tonal palette. You also get a good amount of projection and plenty of articulation. The equal amount of lows and highs ensures the F11SCE can handle a wide variety of different musical genres and playing styles. However, this shape is ideal for fingerpicking techniques and folk music - hence its name.

Offers a Deep and Complex Performance

The body is crafted from strong mahogany, giving you a reliable instrument with a beautifully warm, rich character. The mahogany is topped with cedar, enhancing its already warm sound with an excellent response and rich harmonics. This gives you an incredibly expressive soundscape, with plenty of depth and complexity, making it perfect for fingerpicking styles. It'll even capture the subtle nuances of your playing beautifully.

An Incredibly Smooth and Comfortable Playing Feel

A satin finished mahogany neck is also added, increasing the body's resonance and enhancing the F11SCE's overall warmth. Since the neck features a satin finish, your hand will slide smoothly across the neck in any environment, unlike gloss finished necks which can cause your hand to stick when performing in humid climates. You also receive a smooth playing feel from the ovangkol fingerboard, letting you fingers glide with ease for stunning slides and string bends.

For extra playing comfort, the folk body features a classic venetian cutaway. This type of cutaway is characterised by its rounded design and soft curves. This not only provides you with unobstructed access to the higher frets, but also offers excellent comfort when playing those higher frets.

Enhanced for the Studio and Stage

The addition of Fishman's Presys II 301T electronics lets you take your performance to the stage and studio without the need to mic up. Simply connect a jack cable and then your free to focus on your performance. While the undersaddle pickup captures the Washburn's natural tones and character, the on-board control section lets you adjust and fine-tune your sound for a variety of settings. You can also use the phase switch to remove unwanted noise during live situations, ensuring you'll always deliver a beautifully crisp performance.

Another great feature of the Fishman preamp is its in-built tuner. Just hit the tuner button to active it and tune away. This lets you always keep the Washburn Woodline in tune and is also a great way to change tunings on the fly. Ideal if you need different tunings for different songs when playing live.
