The Washburn Heritage F11SCE is a compact, folk-style electro-acoustic guitar designed for singer-songwriters, fingerstyle players, and musicians who value exceptional note articulation.
Solid Cedar Top & Advanced Structural Bracing
Combining a smaller, highly manageable body shape with an ergonomic Venetian single cutaway, it offers effortless access to the upper register frets.
Equipped with professional-grade onboard electronics, this versatile instrument provides a balanced, intimate acoustic voice that transitions seamlessly from living room practice to live stage and studio recording environments.
The acoustic foundation of the F11SCE relies on a solid Western Red Cedar top paired with mahogany back and sides, finished in a clean natural gloss.
Unlike traditional spruce, a solid cedar soundboard delivers immediate warmth, enhanced sensitivity to a delicate touch, and complex overtones.
The interior architecture is supported by Washburn Cathedral Peaked Scalloped-X bracing pattern.
This structural design manages string tension efficiently while allowing the top to vibrate freely, producing a mature voice that gains depth and complexity as the wood ages over time.
Integrated Fishman Presys Electronics
For live stage work and plug-in performances, the guitar features a factory-fitted Fishman Presys II 301T preamp system coupled with an under-saddle transducer pickup.
This active system is designed to replicate the guitar's natural acoustic tone through a PA system or acoustic amplifier.
The onboard control interface gives the player quick access to master volume, a three-band EQ (bass, middle, and treble), and a phase switch to eliminate unwanted low-frequency stage feedback.
Additionally, a built-in digital chromatic tuner with a bright LED display allows for seamless, silent tuning between songs.
Professional Playability & Hardware Specifications
The mahogany neck features a non-reflective satin finish that prevents sticking and ensures smooth hand transitions during long sets.
It houses an adjustable internal two-way truss rod to control the action, running across a 25.3125-inch (25-5/16") scale length.
The 20-fret ovangkol fingerboard features classic dot inlays and joins to a matching ovangkol bridge with a premium Graph Tech NuBone string nut.
Tuning adjustments are handled by chrome die-cast sealed tuning machines, while visual appointments include a traditional Washburn Heritage soundhole rosette and a tortoise-style pickguard.
