The Washburn Bella Tono Allure Elite is the flagship offering of the series. The Bella Tono Alure Elite pulls out all the stops featuring a solid spruce top and stunning acacia back and sides. It’s also got a cutaway body design for easy access to the upper frets, and the soundboard is adorned with abalone for both the rosette and purfling, and has maple binding. The ebony fingerboard continues with the lush appointments, depicting a beach island scene of a palm tree and birds in flight inlaid in exquisite abalone and turquoise.

The Washburn Studio body design makes for an incredibly comfortable playing experience while managing to maintain the tight lows, focused mids and clear highs commonly associated with larger body sizes. The solid spruce top helps define sonic nuances throughout the entire register of the instrument and showcases Washburn’s Comfort Arm Rest. Its full 25.5″ scale length extends an undeniable familiarity to the player and the satin finished, modern “C” profile of the mahogany neck has a smooth and cozy feeling in the hands. For live performance or in the studio, this Washburn Bella Tone Allure Elite comes equipped with a Barcus-Berry LX4 pickup system.
