The History of Washburn Guitars


Fishman Presys pickup system delivers natural amplified sound





With the Fishman Presys pickup system in your G55CE, you'll have amazing plugged-in tone plus exceptional tone shaping. There are bass, mid, and treble tone controls, so you can dial in your ideal sound. A notch filter helps eliminate the possibility of feedback while playing live. A brilliance control helps you cut through the mix, and the phase control helps solve phase problems when recording the Presys and a microphone at the same time. And to make sure your G55CE is always ready to sound its best, there's a built-in tuner.
