Washburn Apprentice Grand-Auditorium cutaway body, Spruce top-figured Maple back & sides, w/Barcus-Berry electronics.

Apprentice Series guitars are for the serious beginner who wants a guitar that sounds great, plays great, and will serve them well as they progress.  

The AG40CEK-A is a Grand Auditorium-style acoustic featuring a cutaway and a custom Barcus-Berry LX4 pickup tuner system for superior acoustic tone when plugged in. A select spruce top and flame maple back and sides provide a tonal projection. The mahogany neck features a fingerboard with offset dot inlays and a flame maple-capped headstock with chrome die-cast tuners. The Barcus-Berry LX4 features a 3-band EQ, Presence control, and a built-in tuner for fast accurate tuning.
