Washburn Guitars has announced the addition of 3 new Parlour sized guitars with built in Fishman Sonitone electronics to its Parlour Series. The new Parlours are based on existing acoustic only models.

All 3 Parlour guitars are 24.75" scale and feature a natural stain finish, solid cedar top supported by quarter sawn scalloped sitka spruce bracing, abalone rosette and standard Washburn rosewood bridge. The mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard with 44mm nut and gold open gear tuners.

A spokesperson told us, "These specs produce a nicely balanced tone perfect for fingerpicking and singer/song writers. The addition of Fishman Sonitone electronics make these guitars ideal performance instruments."

• The WP21SENS specs are identical to the WP26SENS with the exception of pearl dot inlays on the fingerboard.
• The WP11SENS features mahogany back and sides for a slightly more focused, articulate tone and has pearl dot fingerboard inlays.
