All-koa Undersized Acoustic from Washburn
Part of Washburn's renowned Comfort series, the G-55 Mini acoustic guitar is not only comfortable, but it also presents stunning stage-ready design. This all-koa acoustic guitar features the natural, unique grain pattern of koa with its varied striped pattern in lush dark reds and browns. This Hawaiian tonewood is legendary for its smooth, even midrange bloom and blend of punchy treble and robust low end. And best of all, this lightweight, rigid tonewood only gets better with age. The more you play the G-55, the more it will open up with a richly complex tonal palette. Take it from us here at Sweetwater: you will have a hard time putting down the G-55 thanks to its contoured, rounded lower bout that lets your arm rest evenly and comfortably while you play.

Designed for comfort and tone
The G-55 Mini is actually a 7/8th-size Grand Auditorium acoustic — a body design known for its big volume and robust projection. The undersized design of this incredible acoustic is ideal for players at any level, but emerging players and those with smaller hands will love not only the smaller body design but also the 23-1/4-inch scale length. The smooth ebony fingerboard and smaller scale length are ideal for fingerpicking styles. A Washburn "Comfort Carve-Away" also lets you access those harder-to-reach higher notes up the neck. What's more, many recording engineers will tell you that the smaller Grand Auditorium design of the G-55 makes for incredible recording sessions. Plop a mid-level condenser or ribbon mic in front of the G-55 and capture some incredibly pure, even tone without the boom and bang of larger acoustics!
