Washburn J5
WASHBURN J5 JAZZ GUITAR - TOBACCO SUNBURST
Jazz deluxe. Washburn have been making jazz guitars of the very highest quality for well over one hundred years. The J5 is at the pinnacle of a evolutionary pyramid which been constructed over generations, combining experience and know-how to produce a guitar which is high on quality but low on price.
The
J5 was designed as an electric jazz guitar. It isn't a development of
an acoustic guitar, nor is it the 'jazz version' of another model.
From inception, the focus was to produce the most playable jazz guitar
in the price bracket, with a tone which was both rich and mellow. All
of this was achieved.
From
a tone perspective, this guitar is as sweet and smooth as Bailey's Ice
Cream. The acoustic resonance is very much to the fore - warmed and
expanded by the Vintage-voiced humbuckers without even the merest hint
of harshness.
Strummed,
the guitar almost purrs, whereas using finger styles brings out the
brightness and clean bell-like qualities of the tone. Even when pushed
hard the J5 keeps its composure. You could quite happily use this
guitar to play Rock 'n' Roll, blues or country and would be delighted
with the results.
The
J5 has a maple top and body with the shallow 'Venetian' style cutaway.
The fretboard is rosewood, as is the floating bridge.
Deluxe features include gold hardware, bound 'F' holes and split abalone block markers.
For genuine lovers of melodic guitar styles, the J5 is a cut-price magic carpet ride.
