Washburn announces the new Michael Sweet signature acoustic guitar

Washburn Guitars - which has been making instruments since 1883 - has announced a new Michael Sweet signature acoustic guitar.

Washburn has teamed up with the Christian metal axeman to deliver the Michael Sweet J40SCE - a large body, cutaway acoustic which promises to deliver a booming and powerful tone based on the vintage Washburn J40.

The guitar's deep, rich transparent black finish perfectly accentuates the solid bear claw spruce top, resulting in an exotic look that's striking, yet understated.

“It wouldn’t be a true Michael Sweet guitar if it didn’t also come with a little bling" says Washburn's Vice President of Sales James Tsaptsinos. To that end, the guitar comes fitted with an abalone purfling to outline its top and soundhole.
