Description

Washburn built the EAC12-A-U as part of its Festival Series, positioning it as a mini jumbo cutaway acoustic-electric guitar aimed at players who wanted a compact body profile combined with onboard electronics and the access afforded by a cutaway bout.

The model carried a natural finish and was configured as a 12-string instrument, giving it the characteristic chorus-like resonance associated with doubled courses. The cutaway body design provided upper-fret reach that standard jumbo acoustics of the period typically did not offer. As an acoustic-electric, it was fitted with electronics to allow amplified use.

Owners seeking replacement hardware, saddles, nuts, or tuning machines suited to a 12-string acoustic-electric should confirm exact measurements before sourcing parts, as tolerances vary across production runs. A qualified luthier or guitar technician can assist with setup, intonation, and any electronics servicing this instrument may require.

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.

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.
