Here is what Washburn say…

‘The vintage-style body on the Deep Forest Ebony FE is small and comfortable. The sonic combination of this slightly undersized body with these woods is really special. The wood blends are naturally full of deep, rich overtones that bring forward its low end. The smaller body and bracing assure that it is also articulate and balanced. Need to switch from acoustic to amplified? No problem — the Deep Forest Ebony FE is equipped with Barcus Berry active electronics, including integrated tuner.’
