The Washburn EA12 Festival in Black makes sense if you want an acoustic guitar for everyday playing that can also plug into an acoustic amplifier or PA. Its mini jumbo body gives you a comfortable shape to settle into, while the cutaway leaves more room for your fretting hand when a song takes you farther up the neck.

From working out a song to playing it for a room

At home, you can play it acoustically while you work through chord changes or find a melody. When you need amplification, the Barcus Berry electronics give you a direct connection to your live setup. That flexibility is useful if your playing moves between practice, rehearsal and performing.

The Festival series pairs clear highs with a rounded low end, so there is room for chord definition as well as body behind your rhythm parts. If you alternate between strumming and picking individual notes, that balance is a useful place to start.
