Cedar generally produces a darker tone and a more compressed volume range than spruce making it great for fingerpickers and those with a lighter touch. It also offers a tonal alternative when recording alone or together with a spruce topped guitar.
The WLG16S, WLG16SCE, WLG26S, WLG26SCE, WLG66S and WLG66SCE are Grand Auditorium style acoustic guitars featuring book matched solid Cedar tops. The 16 models feature mahogany back and sides, the 26 models feature rosewood back and sides, the 66 models feature spalted maple back and sides and all feature mahogany/maple bound body and headstock.

The mahogany neck has a rosewood fingerboard devoid of inlays and in tandem with the mahogany bound rosewood bridge adds an aura of understated elegance. A maple/mahogany/maple strip splits the book matched back as well. The rosewood capped headstock features a pearl inlaid Washburn logo and stylised W as well as Washburn branded die cast tuners with ebonite buttons. The gorgeous rosette is made of alternating maple and mahogany.

The Fishman® Presys+ is an integrated tuner/preamp system for versatile amplified tonal shaping.
