Washburn Celebrates 134 Years With Six New Guitars

Celebrating 134 years, Washburn Guitars adds six new up-market solid body and solid top guitars, and a renewed commitment to lead the retail MI industry with a broad line of guitar models.

“Washburn is proud to celebrate 134 years of authentic American originality at Winter NAMM 2017 with new additions to our line that reflect and reaffirm the values that have made Washburn the number-one choice of hard working players around the world,” Washburn vice president & general manager Gil Soucy said.  “Every Washburn guitar delivers exceptional value, sound, playability, cosmetics, and, most importantly, durability.  These are the values our customers look for in every Washburn guitar regardless of the collection or model.” 

Director of design and development, Jonathan Lee, and his team have created a new line-up of solid body and solid top guitars being debuted within Washburn’s Heritage, Woodline, and Revival series of guitars.  

“A total of six new models are being added to these iconic guitar series,” Lee said.  “The Heritage Series is being updated with three new all solid models, the Woodline Series with two new all solid models, and the Revival with one all solid 1939 classic model.  The refreshed line up is intended to offer a higher level of quality to our customers while remaining true to the core characteristics of each guitar series.”

According to Lee, “The heritage of this great company is to offer the broadest range of models for every type and level of player. This tradition is part of our DNA and it remains the foundation of our plans for the future.  We want to live up to the high standards defined by George Washburn Lyon and Patrick Joseph Healy all those many years ago.  I believe the new models being introduced at this NAMM Show are a testament to our ability to do that.”
