Washburn designed the Festival Series in the mid 80s to address the needs of the performing musician. The Festival Series later became the standard acoustic/electric guitar & bass during the MTV Unplugged boom and is still one of the best selling and most copied acoustic/electric guitars on the market.

Crafted using the finest available quilted maple and close-grained solid spruce, and equipped with a BBand™ tape mic and preamp, this thin-bodied performance guitar will ignite every player's passion.
