Description

Washburn built the EA20-U as part of its Festival Series, a line of acoustic-electric guitars designed around the Florentine body style with integrated onboard electronics. The EA20-U occupied a distinct position in the Festival Series by pairing its acoustic platform with the EQ4-T preamp and tuner system, making it a purpose-built stage and studio instrument rather than a purely acoustic one.

The guitar was constructed with a spruce top and flame maple back and sides. The body style is identified as the Festival Florentine, and onboard electronics are handled by the EQ4-T unit. The natural finish allowed the flame maple's figuring to remain visible.

Owners seeking setup adjustments, electronics servicing, or compatible replacement parts for the EQ4-T system are best directed to a qualified guitar technician familiar with acoustic-electric instruments.

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.

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.
