Washburn designed the Festival series to address the needs of the performing musician and it has succeeded for over 25 years. The Festival series was the standard acoustic/electric guitar seen on MTV’s “Unplugged” series and has since become one of the best-selling and most copied guitars on the market.  

A large body teamed up with quality electronics, hardware, and fine woods allows the pristine, crystalline highs to blend perfectly with a full, well-rounded low end.
