Washburn Launches the Deep Forest Series

Washburn Deep Forest Series

Each of the three models features a striped ebony top with Okoume back and sides.

New year, new gear! New for 2021, Washburn Guitars debuts the Deep Forest Series. A series created specifically to feature acoustic guitars with exotic woods from around the world.


The first collection in the Deep Forest Series is the Ebony Collection. These three new guitars were unveiled at the Believe In Music Week virtual NAMM event and are now starting to be featured by top dealers around the world.

The Deep Forest Ebony Collection includes three versions. Each features a striking striped ebony top, which is paired with Okoume back and sides. The combination was selected by the Washburn team to assure a tone that was warm and bold, while still delivering a focused tone that can cut through in any style of music. The three models in the Deep Forest Ebony Collection are:

Washburn Ebony FE

Deep Forest Ebony D - With its standard dreadnought body, this has the most traditional sonic profile of all of the models in this family. It is smooth and fun to play.

Deep Forest Ebony FE - The slightly smaller folk-style body shape on the FE makes it very comfortable to play. This body style also further focuses the tone giving this the most attack amongst the three models in the collection. This model was upgraded with built-in electronics, an active system by Barcus-Berry with integrated tuner.

Deep Forest Ebony ACE - With its cutaway Auditorium body, the ACE is the most modern take on the Deep Forest Ebony collection. It is satisfying to hold and sonically versatile. The addition of the Barcus-Berry 4 band EQ with digital tuner has the ACE ready for stage and studio.

"This series was created to be a platform for Washburn to offer guitarists around the world access to the most interesting and best-sounding exotic woods from around the world," explains James Tsaptsinos, V.P. of Sales. He continues, "I am really excited to see all that the Washburn design team will come up with for Deep Forest series."

The Deep Forest Ebony Collection is now available from authorized Washburn dealers around the world.
