Washburn Handmade Acoustics

by Premier Guitar

Washburn builds acoustics the old-fashioned way -- by hand





Mundelein, IL (May 1, 2008) - Here's an inside-the-factory look at how Washburn handmade acoustic guitars are built. In this clip, luthier John Stover shows us how he frets a D82 and bends the wood for the sides of the guitar.

Washburn makes about four or five handmade acoustic guitars per month, usually with rosewood, koa or maple.

Nice! 4 or 5 a month. I bet those play smooth and sweet as butter

I've got a Washburn acoustic this fits my hand perfectly. Haven't found another one like it since.
