Washburn Festival EA55G — Mini Jumbo Acoustic-Electric | Koa Burst
A seriously underrated acoustic-electric that turns heads before you even play a note. The Festival EA55G pairs a striking exotic koa top with a mini jumbo cutaway body , giving you a guitar that looks boutique and plays effortlessly.
The Festival series was the go-to acoustic-electric on MTV Unplugged and has since become one of the best-selling and most-imitated guitars on the market — there’s serious heritage behind this one.
The mini jumbo body is a sweet spot for a lot of players. It’s more comfortable than a dreadnought or grand auditorium for those who find larger shapes unwieldy, and the cutaway makes upper fret access effortless. The tone is focused and clear rather than boomy — great for fingerpicking, singer-songwriters, and live performers alike.
Electronics are handled by a Barcus-Berry LX-4 preamp system with volume, 3-band EQ, presence control, and a built-in tuner — everything you need to go straight into a PA or interface with a great plugged-in sound.
Specs:
• Body: Mini Jumbo, single cutaway
• Top: Laminate Koa (Koa Burst gloss finish)
• Back & Sides: Catalpa
• Neck: Mahogany, C-shape
• Fingerboard: Tech Wood
• Nut: NuBone, 1 11/16” (43mm)
• Scale: 25.5”
• Frets: 20
• Pickup: Under-saddle piezo
• Preamp: Barcus-Berry LX-4 (Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence, Tuner)

• Finish: Koa Burst gloss
