2015 Washburn Catalog WASHBURN ™ ACOUSTICS 2 WWW.WASHBURN.COM With roots going back before the Civil War, Washburn began as a partnership between George Washburn Lyon and Patrick Healy. Formed in Chicago, Illinois, Washburn has been building stringed instruments since 1883. An American institution, Washburn has built guitars, mandolins, banjos, ukuleles, and more throughout the years. Many of the biggest names in folk, rock, and blues have played Washburn and some of the most significant trendsetting music has been played on a Washburn. From early blues, to the inspiration behind the MTV Unplugged revival, to the modern day, Washburn has been a choice amongst the songsmiths of the day. 130 years of history is at the root of our strong foundation building high quality instruments. It is this background that inspires us to create instruments for you and we hope you experience the exceptional value, playability and voice that is Washburn. In this brochure we encourage you to explore the Washburn line of fine instruments. We are sure you can find a musical partner in a Washburn, be it the historically significant Lakeside and DeLuxe, the quintessential acoustic-electric Festival, the luthier inspired Comfort, or our extensive variety of Americana models. 3 The Lakeside body is a Washburn original created in 1912 at our Chicago workshop. Essentially the first Dreadnought, the solid Sitka spruce top Lakeside satisfies the need of players looking for a bold guitar LAKESIDE with volume.

  • Yamaha Guitar Information
    Yamaha Strengths, Artist’s Advantage “Yamaha Guitars: Essential Knowledge” has been created to give you a behind-the-scenes view of the surprisingly vast and varied resources, facilities, skills, and people involved in making Yamaha guitars the special instruments that they are. Yamaha’s enviable position in musical instrument manufacturing is not only a result of more than 120 years of experience (the company was established in 1887), but also of the unique strengths that its expansive operations bring to bear. From research and development through design and manufacturing to sales and support, Yamaha goes to lengths that are simply beyond the capabilities of most guitar makers. But an underlying dedication to music and the creation of fine musical instruments is always there, forming a steadfast foundation that often results in profit taking a back seat to the pursuit of quality. Yamaha’s true strengths as a guitar maker are not apparent in product brochures or specifications, but they are clearly reflected in the sound, playability, dependability, and overall quality of every guitar that bears the Yamaha name. “Essential Knowledge” includes information that will hopefully provide a clearer picture of the prodigious resources and effort that give artists who choose Yamaha a significant musical advantage.

  • Guitar Body Shapes May 14, 2020
    Guitar Virtual Learning Guitar Body Shapes May 14, 2020 Guitar Lesson: May 14, 2020 Objective/Learning Target: What different guitar shapes are there, and what are the differences between those shapes? Warm-Up Activity Watch the following video by YouTuber “Minor7thb5” (which is a music theory reference!). In it, he plays the same piece of music two times with two different guitars. The guitars are of similar build quality and materials, but they are different shapes. One is a parlor guitar and the other is a dreadnaught. How do they sound different to you? These differences are subtle. It might be easier to hear by using headphones. 2nd Warm-Up Activity These were the two guitars he played. The one on the left is an Eastman parlor guitar, the one on the right is a Martin dreadnought. How do they look different? How do they look the same? Guitar Shapes For the lesson today, we are going to do a brief overview of the different guitar shapes and styles you can find today. This lesson will build on the lessons from earlier in the week where we discussed the differences between classical, steel-string, and electric guitars. Now, we will see what different body shapes there are, especially for the steel-string and electric guitars, and what makes them different! A Brief history of guitar shapes The word “guitar” comes from the Greek word “kithara,” which shows up in Greek mythology from thousands of years ago. These stringed instruments didn’t look much like our guitars now, but they were strummed like our guitars.
