With solid Sitka spruce atop gorgeous pau ferro back and sides, the Washburn Woodline WLO20SCE Orchestra 6-string acoustic-electric guitar is a well-made instrument at an affordable price. Quartersawn Sitka spruce bracing has been scalloped to reduce mass, allowing the top to vibrate more freely without compromising focus and definition. Play it often, and the solid spruce top will bloom with enhanced harmonic richness as the years go by. An onboard Fishman 301T preamp with tuner gives you great plugged-in tone for performance. You may choose it based on price alone, but you'll quickly come to appreciate the Washburn Woodline WLO20SCE Orchestra for its sound and playability.

Spruce and pau ferro combine for rich tone





The solid Sitka spruce top and pau ferro back and sides on the Woodline WLO20SCE Orchestra are certainly eye catching, and they're a recipe for outstanding acoustic tone too. Expect rich and punchy lows, a complex midrange, and smooth highs. And because it has a solid wood top, you can expect to hear even more harmonic richness over the years if you play it often.





Ready to plug in with Fishman 301T electronics





Many pro guitarists choose Fishman electronics for live performance, and the Washburn Woodline WLO20SCE Orchestra has their 301T preamp and tuner system built right in. The tuner ensures you'll always be able to sound your best, and the preamp allows you to plug into any acoustic amplifier or recording system with an instrument-level input.





Improved spruce bracing





The bracing inside of the Woodline WLO20SCE has been greatly reduced in mass. This minimizes the rigidity of the spruce top and allows it to vibrate more freely. These vibrations add a bigger, bolder, and more balanced tone to your Woodline acoustic. And the bracing, like the guitar's top, is made from solid Sitka spruce. The pairing of the Sitka top and bracing work together to create the best tone possible.





Custom details





The Woodline WLO20SCE Orchestra features high-end appointments not found on most guitars in its price range. The scalloped Sitka spruce bracing creates a richer tone. Real maple binding lines the body and neck for a classier look. The bridge saddle and string nut are made from NuBone, which is manufactured to high tolerances to outperform plastic. And a dual-action truss rod is installed for more precise and stable neck adjustments. Any guitarist at Sweetwater will agree that there's exceptional value here.
