Full Description
View Full DescriptionPremium Koa construction
Koa wood, known for its beautiful grain patterns and rich tonal qualities, is highly sought after by guitarists. Washburn has utilized this premium wood for the top, back, and sides of the G-Mini 55 Koa, elevating its aesthetic appeal and musical quality. The satin finish further enhances the natural beauty of the Koa wood.
Armrest and scalloped cutaway
One of the standout features of the Comfort G-Mini 55 Koa is its innovative armrest and scalloped cutaway design. The "Binding Relief" beneath the forearm area and "Comfort Carve-Away" at the upper shoulder provide unparalleled comfort while playing, as well as superior access to the higher frets. This makes it an ideal choice for musicians who struggle with traditional acoustic guitars due to discomfort or limited access to higher frets.

The G-Mini 55 Koa features a 7/8 size body, making it smaller and more compact than traditional acoustic guitars. This makes it an ideal choice for travelling musicians or those with smaller frames. Despite its smaller size, the guitar still produces a full and rich sound, making it a versatile instrument for various playing styles.
Sophisticated and durable hardware
The Washburn WCGM55K G-MINI 55 Koa comes equipped with high-quality gold hardware, including tuners and ebonite buttons. These not only add a touch of sophistication to the guitar's design but also ensure durability and stability while playing.
