Washburn C40 Classical Guitar
Washburn C40 is a nylon-string classical guitar designed for musicians starting to learn, students, and performers who prefer a soft, natural guitar timbre. Thanks to its comfortable playing feel, balanced sound character, and classical dimensions, it is a suitable choice for daily practice, music school, and home playing.
Continuing Washburn's classical guitar tradition, the C40 model is crafted with a spruce top and mahogany back and sides. This wood combination gives the guitar a clear, balanced, and warm sound character. The spruce top helps notes sound clearer with good projection, while the mahogany adds softness and richness to the timbre.
Comfortable classical guitar playing
The Washburn C40's 52mm nut width and wide string spacing, intended for a classical guitar, create more comfortable control during fingerstyle playing. Especially when learning classical pieces, arpeggios, fingerstyle techniques, and chords, this structure allows for more precise movement between strings.
Since nylon strings are gentler on the fingers compared to steel strings, the Washburn C40 is one of the comfortable models for beginners learning guitar. At the same time, it is possible to play in classical, flamenco, acoustic pop, and various instrumental styles.
Classical look, balanced construction
A mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard complement the comfortable playing feel. The guitar features a 25.5-inch scale length and a 19-fret classical construction. The natural color and classic body design give the Washburn C40 a traditional and elegant look.
