The Washburn EA-12 Black, from the famous Festival series, was designed with one goal in mind: to offer performing musicians a reliable and high-performance instrument. With over 25 years of success, this guitar has become an essential reference, notably thanks to its use on MTV's "Unplugged".

On the electronic side, we're not kidding. The EA-12 is equipped with the Barcus-Berry EQ4T preamp, offering 3-band equalization, a presence control and even an integrated tuner.

A solution that offers welcome flexibility for demanding guitarists.

Playing comfort is also there with a mahogany neck and a rosewood fingerboard, carefully selected materials to ensure a pleasant playing experience, whether sitting or standing. The oil bath tuners guarantee impeccable tuning stability, even after long hours of playing.

Finally, with its glossy black aesthetic and D'Addario EXP-16 strings, this electro-acoustic guitar combines elegance and sonic versatility. Its crystal-clear treble and round bass create a rich sound that will delight fans of stage performances as well as studio musicians.
