Made for music. Your Washburn AB5 has plenty of character. The mahogany body of this beautifully crafted instrument is built to bring out bass frequencies naturally, whilst also maintaining plenty of treble to keep your tone crispy. Whether you’re plucking the lowest notes or the highest, the excellent response of this Washburn's tonewood will put a huge smile on your face.
The spruce top wood is also prone to inducing magnificent, meaty bass melodies. Wherever you take your bass you'll find there's no shortage of ears leaning in to hear your rich, versatile sound.
Amplify your art
The best of both worlds. This AB5 Acoustic also comes with quality amplification options, using a QPH preamp system to help you unleash your low notes with ease. This means it can be used in both live settings with an amp as well as in smaller environments.
You can also shape your sound with ultimate confidence. The 4 band EQ function will allow you to bring your own level of articulation every time you plug in, meaning that your sound will be on point whether in a band or on your own. With quarter sawn sitka spruce bracing also adding some real rumble to your tone, you'll have no trouble sounding huge.
Affordable and effective
The Washburn AB5 continues a legacy of greatness which started in 1883. This is when Washburn began making guitars, and they have been innovating ever since. Once you have plucked your first note on such an instrument, you’re bound to see why they have been used by so many artists throughout the years to deliver some of the finest music around.
