The Apprentice Series F5 features a Spruce top and Mahogany back and side pairing. Its quarter-sawn, scalloped bracing, and gloss finish are responsible for note presence and warmth throughout the entire register of the instrument; features that make it an unbeatable value for the discerning player. The gloss-finished mahogany neck feels great in the hands and offers speedy and comfortable playing. Our attractive “Washburn Heritage” rosette, its gloss finish Folk body, and 25-½” scale length make for a pleasing and comfortable feel of the overall instrument. 

If you’re just starting your musical journey or a seasoned player looking for your workhorse instrument; the Washburn Apprentice F5 will be the perfect companion. A Hardshell case is included.

Key Washburn Features 

Folk Body 

The Folk body will be more comfortable to play for smaller players compared with the Dreadnought. It produces a focused, intimate sound. 

A Guitar You Can Trust! 

Washburn has been around since 1883 and is one of the oldest brands in the industry. We know how to make guitars. The Apprentice line of instruments is distilled down to what a great guitar should be before becoming only a "guitar-shaped object." With an Apprentice guitar, you can trust that you play a perfect balance of stability, sound, and cosmetics. A perfect place to start.
