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

Features:

Comfortable Mini Jumbo Cutaway Body

The EA15’s mini jumbo body shape makes it easier to play compared to larger dreadnought or grand auditorium guitars. Perfect for smaller players, young learners, or anyone seeking a more focused and intimate tone. The cutaway design also ensures easy access to upper frets.

Barcus Berry Electronics

Equipped with a Barcus Berry preamp and pickup system featuring an onboard tuner, EQ controls, feedback resistance, and the trusted quality of the company that pioneered the piezo transducer in 1963. Plug-in ready for the stage or studio.

Flame Transparent Blue Gloss Finish

The stunning Flame Maple top is highlighted by a transparent blue gloss that fades from dark to light, showcasing the wood’s natural character.
