“Last year Washburn debuted the Michael Sweet V model guitar to great success, confirming Michael Sweet’s impact and influence on today’s players,” said Tsaptsinos. “For 2020 we went back to Michael again for his take on a new acoustic guitar that we believe will be every bit as successful as the V was last year.”
The new Michael Sweet acoustic model stands out with it's solid bear-claw spruce top. It also features integrated Barcus Berry active electronics, as well as a deep and rich transparent black finish that lends a perfect accent to the figured woods used to make the guitar.

“It wouldn’t be a true Michael Sweet guitar if it didn’t also come with a little bling,” Tsaptsinos added. “And this new Michael Sweet is well appointed with lots of pearl and abalone that includes a nice real abalone purfling to outline its top and soundhole. In every respect, this new guitar lives up to the artist who stands behind it. We’re proud to make it available to our dealers.”
