Product Description

Big, Bold, and Beautifully Figured

This 2005 Washburn J-28 SCE DL Cumberland isn’t just a guitar; it’s a cannon with class. Built for players who need robust acoustic projection, this jumbo cutaway delivers a powerful, clear voice that’s perfect for cutting through a mix, whether you’re unplugged on the porch or amped up on stage. The star of the show is the stunning quilted maple back and sides, which brings a visual fire that’s as impressive as its bright, articulate tone. Paired with a solid spruce top, the result is a sound that’s rich in harmonic detail with a snappy top-end and a focused low-end—never muddy, always present.

Stage-Ready Electronics

The J-28 SCE DL comes equipped with a B-Band preamp system, designed to translate the guitar’s natural acoustic resonance into a faithful, feedback-resistant plugged-in tone. It’s a professional-grade setup that ensures your sound is as pure and dynamic on stage as it is in the studio, capturing the nuance and power of the jumbo body without compromise.

Classic Washburn Playability

Beyond the tone, this Cumberland feels fantastic. The maple neck is smooth and inviting, and the deep cutaway offers effortless access to the upper frets of the rosewood fingerboard. Details like the abalone rosette, multi-ply binding, and gold Grover tuners add a touch of elegance, making this a true workhorse that looks as good as it sounds. This pre-owned model is in good condition and includes the original hardshell case, ready for its next chapter of music-making.

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Quilted maple is known for producing a bright, clear, and focused tone with excellent projection. It emphasizes the high and mid-range frequencies, which helps with note definition, making it fantastic for cutting through a band mix or for recording.
The large surface area of a jumbo body moves a lot of air, resulting in a very powerful, deep, and resonant sound with plenty of volume. It’s especially favored by strummers and rhythm players for its room-filling presence.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
