Washburn Novo S9 Gloss Charcoal Burst | Bella Tono Series Studio Acoustic Guitar

The Design Team at Washburn wanted to build an instrument with appointments of elegant design and taste, combined with premium sound and exceptional comfort of playability. Each Bella Tono model features Washburn’s Studio body shape. This shape was carefully designed specifically to retain the best attributes of a full-sized body, while delivering the best attributes of a smaller body. Petite in dimension, these bodies deliver a rich and full voice with clarity and projection while retaining the tight focus of a smaller body. This refined body is matched up with a comfortable, modern neck profile and a long list of visually striking upgrades resulting in a collection of guitars that you will love.

The Bella Tono Novo S9 is the initial offering in the Bella Tono line and features an eye-catching high gloss charcoal-burst Spruce top and figured Walnut back & sides. The Washburn Studio body design makes for an incredibly comfortable playing experience while managing to maintain the tight lows, focused mids and clear highs commonly associated with larger body sizes. Its full 25.5” scale length extends an undeniable familiarity to the player and the satin finished, modern “C” profile of the Okoume neck is smooth and cozy feeling in the hands. A subtle yet beautiful Lotus inlay adorns its ebony fingerboard at the 12th fret, and the under-stated black and white binding of the top and back add to the overall striking look of this superb little instrument.
