Washburn guitars, with a tone that makes any room come alive, and a feel that’s as comfortable as an old friend. Washburn’s Dreadnought Series features fine tonewoods and resonant construction. Washburn Guitars became legendary on the music scene and formed the cornerstone for rock and roll and rhythm and blues. Washburn guitars slipped into the mid-priced market during the Thirties and were eclipsed by Gibson, Epiphone, Gretsch, Vega, National and other brands. Another problem was that Washburn was slow to get into the archtop, jazz guitar-style guitars that came into vogue during the Thirties.
Washburn Guitars are set to premier their newly designed Pilsen Idol guitar at this winter’s NAMM show in Anaheim. The Pilsen (named after a neighborhood in Chicago) is Washburn’s best value produced in the USA production facility. Washburn Guitars is pleased to announce the launch of their new Cracked Mirror Series with the introduction of the PS1800CMK and WV1800CMK guitars. The cracked mirror concept for a guitar originally stemmed from an idea that Paul Stanley had in the 70s.
Finished with a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, die-cast tuners, and pearloid dot fingerboard inlays, this is a guitar you will be proud to own. If you are an experienced player this makes a great second guitar for travel. Rest assured - you have 125 years of guitar making in every Washburn!
Gibson is among the top 10 best acoustic guitar brands in the market. Gibson’s luthiers have endowed the instrument with a full complement of enhancements such as double parallelogram mother-of-pearl inlays on the ebony fingerboard, antique gold hardware, a sculpted pickguard, 6-ply top binding, and an abalone rosette. And it offers superior performance with solid rosewood back and sides, solid Sitka spruce top, and an L.R. Gibson used the same type of carved, arched tops in archtop acoustic guitars, and by the 1930s was also making flattop acoustic guitars and electric guitars.
Charlie Christian, one of the first well-known electric guitarists, helped to popularize Gibson’s electric guitars with his use of the ES-150 and ES-200. Gibson continues to hand-build their guitars. Gibson restructured after being sold by Norlin, and began to move its Epiphone production to other Japanese manufacturers and to Korea.
