Founded in 1883 in Chicago, Washburn Guitars has a long and respected history of building high-quality acoustic instruments. From the beginning, Washburn earned a reputation for crafting guitars with rich tone, reliable construction, and player-friendly design.

As American music evolved, Washburn acoustics found their way into the hands of early folk and blues musicians, particularly in the Mississippi Delta, where their warm sound and durability made them a favourite.

Over the years, Washburn continued to innovate while staying true to its acoustic roots offering everything from traditional dreadnoughts to modern stage-ready electro-acoustics. Today, Washburn remains committed to producing guitars that combine heritage craftsmanship with the needs of today’s players.
