Here for sale we have a Washburn J-3TS cutaway archtop electric guitar in Tobacco Sunburst finish. Built in 2013 this guitar features a fully hollow Laminated Maple body, a 20 fret Maple neck, a Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, a Florentine cutaway, Grover machine heads, along with a pair of humbuckers, wired to dual volume & tone controls and a 3-way toggle switch.

The Maple neck plays well, with a very slightly flattened ‘C’ shape profile for excellent thumb positioning. The gloss finish feels very smooth and gratifying to touch under the thumb. The Rosewood fretboard provides a smooth and durable playing surface. The Florentine cutaway gives great access to the upper register and the fully hollow construction makes for a very responsive and dynamic guitar to play.

Unplugged the guitar has a clear and resonant tone, with lovely articulation, enhanced beautifully when plugged in, with the humbuckers providing a rich low end, creamy mids and an airy top end. Overall a well put together archtop for the money, a great addition to any guitarist’s collection.
