Washburn built the MSJ40SCETB-L-U as a signature instrument for Michael Sweet, guitarist of Stryper, positioned within the Heritage Series as a performance-focused jumbo acoustic-electric. The left-hand configuration and translucent black finish distinguish this variant within the MSJ40SCE line.
The guitar carries a solid bearclaw Sitka spruce top braced with quarter-sawn hand-scalloped Sitka spruce, paired with highly figured quilted maple back and sides. The okoume neck meets a laurel fretboard fitted with 21 nickel-silver medium jumbo frets and acrylic inlays, with an abalone rosette providing ornamental contrast. The jumbo body is further specified with extra depth relative to a standard jumbo outline, contributing to the pronounced bass response noted in the model's design brief. Onboard electronics are handled by the Barcus Berry LX4 preamp system. Hardware throughout is chrome with rose pearl buttons, and the tuners are die-cast.
Owners requiring setup work, fret service, or assistance sourcing compatible replacement parts for the Barcus Berry LX4 system, laurel bridge, or chrome hardware should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician familiar with jumbo acoustic-electric instruments.
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.
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.
