A discrete mechanism brings country licks to the acoustic world.
The
Washburn Forrest Lee Bender brings country licks to the acoustic world.
With almost no aesthetic alterations to the guitar at all, players can
pick and bend their riffs in style.
The
Acoustic Bender is a dreadnought body shape with rosewood back and
sides, and includes a Fishman® pickup. The top is solid cedar, and
includes an abalone rosette, purfling and a back strip, making the body
of this guitar quite striking. The neck is made from mahogany and has a
rosewood fingerboard, and the fretboard on the WDFLB28SCE features an
exquisite tree of life inlay. The nut and saddle are both made of
Graphtech NuBone®, and the bridge is made from mahogany.
The bender
itself is mostly inside the guitar. The only signs of it being there
are a slot for the strap holder to move and the pin which takes the
place of the B-string pin. The mechanism allows the player to bend the
B-string up a full step with a simple push down on the neck. This allows
the player to simulate pedal steel type bends. Benders have been
available on electric guitars since 1968, but the Washburn Forrest Lee
Bender marks the first time this type of device is available in a full
production acoustic guitar. Case sold separately.
