Overview

An intimate performance room or a travel bag is the natural home of the Washburn Victorian, a recreation of century-old parlor guitars. A spruce top and trembesi back give warm, balanced sound, finished with rope purfling and a vintage look.

Vintage character and tone are the reason to look: bone nut and saddle, a soft V neck and an ebony fingerboard feel classic. The limit is the unclear size, since the description says compact but the size field says large.

Who it's for

A songwriter composing at home or a player at small venues will use the articulate tone and comfortable neck. Strummers who need power, or buyers who want a pickup, should look at larger acoustic-electrics.

Performance notes

A spruce top with trembesi back and sides gives a warm, balanced voice, and the parlor body projects less than a larger guitar but sounds focused. Bone at the nut and saddle transfers string energy cleanly. Fingerstyle and light strumming suit it best.
