Electroacoustic version of the American company’s worldwide bestseller HD10S, the HD10SCE offers exceptional acoustic and electronic qualities in this price range. Perfect for both rhythm and picking, it will delight beginners as well as experienced guitarists.
A concentration of expertise by Washburn.
Founded in 1883 in Chicago, Washburn is one of the oldest American brands of traditional instruments and guitars. Thanks to its unique experience in this field, the company is able to offer guitars with exemplary manufacturing and acoustic qualities at an unbeatable price. The Heritage series, to which the HD10SCE belongs, has benefited from the brand’s centuries-old know-how and features attributes that will leave no artist indifferent.
Quality craftsmanship.
To ensure excellent projection and impeccable sound, the HD10SCE’s soundboard is made of solid Sitka spruce, whose crisp tone will improve over the years, while the back and sides are made of mahogany. The combination of these two woods produces a sound that is both rich and precise, which, combined with the generous shapes of the dreadnought format, proves perfect for rhythmic accompaniments (strumming) as well as for arpeggios.
Details that make all the difference.
Beyond its exemplary craftsmanship, the HD10SCE features a series of details that clearly set it apart from any other model at this price level. To name just a few, Washburn has installed a Graphtech Nubone nut with a bright tone close to that of bone, and an ovangkol bridge, a dense wood that perfectly transmits string vibrations to the soundboard. The instrument’s bracing, often neglected despite its key role in sound propagation and the instrument’s long-term stability, has also received special attention, featuring a scalloped X-bracing profile that further enhances the guitar’s acoustic qualities.
Reference Fishman electronics.
Need to play on stage and be clearly heard? No problem! To ensure flawless performance at all your concerts, the HD10SCE is equipped with the famous Fishman Presys II 301T preamp, a true reference. Thanks to its built-in tuner, 3-band EQ, and phase switch to eliminate feedback, all you have to do is plug in and play!
With the HD10SCE, Washburn has achieved the real feat of offering a guitar with impeccable craftsmanship and electronics, while remaining affordable for all budgets. A “must-have” for any guitarist looking for a good guitar for their concerts!
