Washburn Deep Forest Ebony FE

The Washburn Deep Forest Ebony FE is a folk-style acoustic guitar built with a Striped Ebony top and Okoume back and sides. Its compact body offers comfortable handling for extended playing sessions. Barcus Berry active electronics with an integrated tuner allow direct amplification for stage or studio use.

Players seeking warm low-end

This guitar suits musicians who want deep, rich bass and lower mids with clear highs in a smaller, comfortable body. The active electronics serve performers needing a reliable amplified sound with onboard tuning. Builders needing a larger dreadnought body for maximum acoustic volume or players preferring a traditional gloss finish should consider other models.

Striped Ebony top with Barcus Berry electronics

The Striped Ebony top produces strong bass and scooped mids similar to rosewood while Okoume back and sides add warmth. The Barcus Berry active system includes a built-in tuner for convenient stage transitions. This combination of tonewoods and onboard electronics defines the instrument's core character.

Questions about this item

Does the Washburn Deep Forest Ebony FE require a battery for its Barcus Berry active electronics and built-in tuner?

Yes, the onboard Barcus Berry active electronics with integrated tuner need a standard 9 V battery, which is not supplied with the guitar.

Will the folk-style body and Mahogany C-shaped neck feel comfortable if I am used to a full-size dreadnought?

The slightly undersized folk body and C-profile neck are noticeably smaller and slimmer, so they feel lighter and easier to wrap around than a traditional dreadnought.

How can I verify the Barcus Berry preamp and tuner are functioning correctly after I string the guitar?

Insert a fresh 9 V battery, plug into an amp or DI, tap the pickup area to confirm signal, then activate the onboard tuner and check that each open string registers in tune.
