Washburn Comfort WCG12FCE – Cognac Sunburst

Beautifully Balanced. Effortlessly Comfortable. Unmistakably Washburn :)

The Washburn Comfort WCG12FCE is one of those rare guitars that feels instantly “right” the moment you pick it up. From its beautifully figured flamed okoume top to its beautiful sculpted comfort bevel armrest, every detail has been crafted to make your playing experience as enjoyable as it sounds.

Whether you’re playing quietly at home, performing on stage, or recording in the studio, the WCG12FCE offers a perfect blend of warmth, clarity, and comfort — all wrapped up in a striking Cognac Sunburst gloss finish that just oozes class.

Contoured Comfort Armrest

Washburn’s signature comfort bevel armrest is what makes the Comfort Series so loved by players around the world. It takes away that hard edge on your picking arm, letting you relax into longer playing sessions. It’s one of those small touches that you truly appreciate more with every note you play.

Balanced Grand Auditorium Tone

The Grand Auditorium shape strikes that perfect middle ground — more depth and resonance than a concert body, but with more focus and balance than a dreadnought.   I always find the grand auditorium a perfect guitar for anyone starting out who wants a guitar that is as musically diverse as possible.

Vivid Flamed Okoume

The WCG12FCE is simply gorgeous. The flamed okoume used for the top, back, and sides creates a captivating, almost three-dimensional shimmer that changes beautifully with the light. It’s one of those guitars that never fails to draw attention — not just because of how it looks, but because of how alive it sounds.

Okoume Neck with Cutaway Access

A smooth C-shaped okoume neck ensures effortless playability, and the cutaway design lets you reach those higher frets with ease. Whether you’re playing soulful leads or delicate passages up the neck, this guitar stays comfortable and responsive all the way through.

Premium Materials, Thoughtful Details

The WCG12FCE features a purpleheart bridge and fretboard, paired with a real bone nut and saddle — premium tone-transfer points that let every string sing clearly. Chrome die-cast tuners keep your tuning rock solid, while the Barcus Berry LX-4 preamp system ensures your tone translates naturally when plugged in.
