Washburn built the HD10SCE12-O-U as part of its Heritage Series, positioning it as a 12-string dreadnought cutaway acoustic-electric. The model combined a solid Sitka spruce top with mahogany back, sides, and neck, and was equipped with Fishman electronics for stage-ready amplification.
The top was braced with quarter-sawn scalloped Sitka spruce bracing. The neck carried a two-way truss rod and a Graphtech Nubone nut at 1-7/8" width, with an Ovangkol fretboard and matching Ovangkol bridge. Dot inlays mark the 20-fret board. Tuning is handled by chrome diecast tuners across the 12-string headstock. The onboard Fishman Presys II 301T preamp provides volume control alongside a three-band EQ — bass, mid, and treble — plus a phase switch for feedback management and an integrated chromatic tuner. The rosette is the Heritage pattern; finish is natural gloss throughout. Strings were fitted from the factory as D'Addario EXP light gauge phosphor bronze. The cutaway body allows access to the upper frets, and all hardware is chrome.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — saddles, nuts, tuning machines, or preamp components — should consult the specific dimensions above and bring the guitar to a qualified luthier or guitar technician for fitting advice, particularly given the 12-string bridge and nut spacing.
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.
