Washburn R60BCE Richie Owens Acoustic Electric Roundneck Resonator Guitar Black

The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive!

At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving.

This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without care.

Designed in conjunction with acclaimed Nashville musician, Richie Owens, the R60BCE has unique features that set it apart from the majority of resonator guitars. String spacing, neck and nut width are wider than standard - 1 7/8″ at the nut to facilitate finger-style playing and fast and precise slide work. The top features a unique F hole and pickguard and supports a custom proprietary cover-plate of Richie’s design.

This round neck acoustic electric resonator cutaway is comprised of a Maple top, back, sides and neck for powerful lows and rich mids and is finished in Matte Black. The Wilkinson Deluxe tuners feature green buttons and have a 15:1 ratio for quick, accurate tuning. It houses the spun aluminum cone and aluminum spider bridge for great sustain and a Maple and Ebony tipped top saddle for added crispness.

At the heart of this R60BCE’s electronics is a Lace Sensor pickup with one volume and one tone control. This pickup has great overall balance and clarity, capturing the true essence, versatility and soul of this unique instrument. 

Richie Owens was brought up in a bluegrass family and began playing Dobro when he was just a boy. By the time he was in his teens, he was building and fixing his own instruments. Today, Richie designs, builds or repairs instruments for the likes of Nils Lofgren, Ron Wood and The Dixie Chicks. He recently was on tour with Dolly Parton as a featured performer, playing mandolin on her “Vintage Tour.”

This guitar came from Washburn as a slight flaw, which means slight cosmetic flaw or an overstock item. We have inspected and tested this guitar and although we did not find any major flaws, we have taken detailed photos, please take a moment to look through them before purchasing. 

You are buying a quality instrument made of wood. Each instrument goes thorough a pre-shipment inspection to ensure you are getting a great quality instrument. However, please keep in mind when instruments are shipped they can endure temperature changes as well as doing the "shipper shuffle" and therefore minor adjustments may be needed to set up the instrument to your personal preferences after receiving it.

Included in your shipment will be instructions on care and maintenance. 

We are musicians just like you and we want to help you Grow Your Passion®
