Spruce-topped rosewood provides timeless acoustic guitar tone
There's really nothing like the sound of rosewood topped with spruce, which is why Washburn chose this particular tonewood combination for their WSD5240SCE. Rosewood is known throughout the guitar-playing world for its sweet and bold sound with plenty of bass and sparkling highs. Our crew has put the WSD5240 series of guitars through its paces, and we've been impressed by its performance. The WSD5240SCE's spruce top balances that sound even better, giving you a full-range tone that can be both commanding and an ideal accompaniment for a wide range of vocal styles. Classy appointments such as ivoroid binding, a herringbone rosette, a tortoise pickguard, and a '30s-style rosewood-capped headstock with intricate pearloid inlays all add up to make the Washburn WSD5240SCE Warren Haynes Signature guitar a truly good-looking and great-sounding acoustic guitar.
