Washburn apprentice Series guitars are for the serious beginner who wants an acoustic that sounds great, plays great and will last. The AG40CE is a Grand Auditorium style acoustic featuring a cutaway and a custom Barcus-Berry LX4 pickup tuner system for superior acoustic tone when plugged in. A select spruce top and flame maple back and sides provide tonal projection. The mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard with offset dot inlays and flame maple capped headstock with chrome diecast tuners.
