A Classic 'Seventies' Revisited for the Stage
The 12-string is closely linked to the iconic sound colors of the 1970s: a full, bright, naturally chorused sound, perfect for thickening accompaniment. With the Heritage D10SCE 12-string Natural, Washburn offers a balanced approach: careful lutherie (solid top, refined bracing) and reference electronics, all in an instrument designed for both acoustic playing and live amplification.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This electro-acoustic is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to explore the 12-string with a reliable and expressive instrument. The dreadnought format favors rhythms (folk, pop, acoustic rock, country) and gives breadth to arpeggios for rich textures. The cutaway is a real plus if you play high positions or melodic intros on the upper frets.
Sound Characteristics
The solid Sitka spruce soundboard provides precision, a clear attack, and a great dynamic range: the more you play, the more it opens up over time. The mahogany back and sides add present mids and natural warmth, preventing the 12-string from sounding too "metallic." The carved X bracing optimizes top vibration and supports projection, while the ovangkol bridge, a dense wood, promotes efficient vibration transfer for solid sustain. The Nubone nut contributes brightness close to bone, appreciated for the definition of double strings. Plugged in, the Fishman Presys II 301T electronics allow quick sound adjustment via volume, 3-band EQ, and phase control to better manage feedback.
