Description

Washburn built the WCG55CE as part of its Comfort Series, positioning it as a grand auditorium cutaway acoustic-electric. The cutaway body configuration and onboard electronics placed it toward the performance-oriented end of the Comfort Series line.

The top, back, and sides were constructed from koa, braced internally with quarter-sawn scalloped Sitka spruce bracing. The neck was satin mahogany, fitted with a two-way truss rod, and carried a rosewood fretboard at a 25.5-inch scale with 21 frets. The nut was a GraphTech NuBone unit measuring 43mm in width. A custom wood inlay rosette finished the top. Hardware included a mahogany and bound rosewood bridge and Grover Exclusive 18:1 tuners in black. Electronics were handled by a Fishman Presys+ preamp system with integrated tuner. The instrument shipped strung with D'Addario EXP-16 light phosphor bronze strings.

Owners seeking setup adjustments, nut replacements, or compatible bridge and tuner parts should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician, who can verify fit against the 43mm nut width and the Grover and Fishman hardware specifications.

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.

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.
