Washburn built the EA15ITB-A-U as part of the Festival Series, a line the company developed to address the needs of performing musicians. According to Washburn, the Festival Series had been in production for over 25 years and became a recognisable fixture on MTV's Unplugged series. The EA15ITB-A-U is a cutaway mini jumbo acoustic-electric, finished in Ice Tea Burst gloss.
The top is flame maple, with catalpa back and sides and quarter-sawn scalloped Sitka spruce bracing. The mahogany neck features a two-way truss rod and carries a 25-1/2" scale length, 20 frets on an engineered wood fretboard with dot inlays, and a 1-11/16" Graphtech NuBone nut. Electronics are handled by the Barcus-Berry EQ4T preamp system, with controls for volume, bass, mid, treble, notch and presence, plus a built-in tuner. Hardware throughout is chrome, including diecast tuners, and the faux-abalone rosette and engineered wood bridge complete the feature set. The guitar shipped strung with D'Addario EXP-16 light phosphor bronze strings.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the NuBone nut, saddle, tuner buttons or EQ4T preamp components — should verify compatibility against the specific dimensions of their instrument; a qualified luthier or guitar technician can assist with measurement and fit.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
