Delivering all of the features and playability expected of the flagship offering in the compact Bella Tono line, the Allure SC56S Bella Tono Studio Hybrid Acoustic Guitar from Washburn is an exquisite and lushly adorned instrument, whose custom-designed cutaway Studio body shape delivers all the warmth, clear highs, and focused mids associated with larger body guitars, while maintaining a comfortably tight and cozy size. The solid spruce top provides a booming tone, and the eye-catching acacia back and sides signal this guitar as a quality instrument. With convenient Barcus Berry preamp and pickup electronics onboard, including a useful chromatic tuner and display, the Allure SC56S is equally at home in the studio or onstage.
Bella Tono Studio Body
The Bella Tono line of acoustic guitars are the result of concerted efforts by Washburn's design team to build an instrument with refined design and taste combined with premium sound and exceptionally comfortable playability. Each Bella Tono model features Washburn's Studio body shape, which was carefully designed specifically to retain the best attributes of a full-sized body, while delivering the best attributes of a smaller body. Petite in dimension, the body delivers a rich and full voice with clarity and projection while retaining the tight focus of a smaller body. This refined body is matched up with a comfortable modern neck profile and a long list of visually striking upgrades, resulting in a beautiful and great-sounding guitar that you will love.
Elegant Features
The Allure SC56S features a gorgeous solid spruce top and select acacia back and sides pairing. The ebony fingerboard is comfortable, durable, and stylish, and the soundboard is adorned in abalone for both the rosette and purfling, while the arm rest is bound in maple. The lush appointments continue with a beach island scene, depicting a palm tree and birds in flight, inlaid in stunning abalone and turquoise. Chic die-cast gold tuners and quarter-sawn scalloped bracing complete the design. The solid spruce top helps define sonic nuances throughout the entire register of the instrument. Its full 25.5" scale length extends an undeniable familiarity to the player and the satin-finished modern C profile of the mahogany neck is smooth and cozy feeling in the hands.
Electronics Onboard
In an attempt to truly check off every box expected of a flagship instrument, the attractive Allure also distinguishes itself with quality onboard electronics in the form of a Barcus Berry preamp and pickup system. These electronics enable the SC56S to be perfectly at home onstage or in the studio, and allow for control of tone (bass, mids, treble, and presence) as well as volume. A handy chromatic tuner is also included, featuring a bright and clear LCD screen as a tuning aid. The built-in electronics are powered with a simple 9V battery and can be turned on or off at any time.
