The world needs more guitars like this Model E from Kathy Wingert. The 2003 “California Sun” is a heartthrob with just about anything you throw its way—fingerstyle, strumming, standard pitch or wacky tunings—and it looks great while it’s doing it. Cocobolo back and sides pair up with European Spruce on top with its amber sunburst, 14 fret neck, and Abalone appointments to round it out. The voice is very, very energetic and responsive. It has dynamic range, power, and a lot of gears, equally at home for both soft playing and aggressive pieces. Great balance across the registers, paired with crisp note definition, makes for a pianistic player that really soaks up the fingerstyle goodness. We wish this one wasn’t for sale, but could stay at the shop forever. So please, take it off our hands before we pull the trigger instead.

Sunburst, anybody? Cocobolo Rosewood is one of Kathy Wingert's favorite woods, which she had to forgo building with later in her career because of allergies. So it's great to have one of her Cocobolo instruments to offer you here. Top with your Euro Spruce and you get all that Wingert depth and beauty. Chocolatey is the word that I comes to mind whenever I play one of her guitars. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
