A Sweet Sound Any Player Can Appreciate

With gorgeous looks to match its sweet sound, there’s big value in the Washburn Bella Tono Vite S9V acoustic-electric guitar. Featuring Washburn’s innovative “studio” body design, it offers a more compact and comfortable feel while retaining punchy lows and rich mids you’d expect from a larger instrument. Its sultry sound is enhanced by premium appointments you wouldn’t normally expect in a guitar of this class, such as an ebony bridge and fretboard, and real bone nut. And with its built-in Barcus Berry LX4 electronics, you’re assured of great plugged-in tone too. Wrapped in a distinctive finish, the Washburn Bella Tono Vite S9V should appeal to players of all types.

Satin-finished neck for a fast feel

The Washburn Bella Tono Vite S9V is equipped with an okoume neck with a Modern “C” neck profile, which Sweetwater players appreciate for its not-too-thick, not-too-thin feel. Even better, the smooth satin finish won’t feel sticky or slow down your fretwork, even during long playing sessions. Over time, your playing will smooth out the satin finish even further.

Washburn Bella Tono Vite S9V Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • Figured walnut body with select spruce top
  • “Studio” body style is compact yet retains the powerful lows and mids of a larger instrument
  • Built-in Barcus Berry LX4 electronics deliver sweet plugged-in tone
  • Premium components include a real bone nut, and ebony bridge and fretboard
  • Wood vine inlays provide a classy look

Best new&cheap acoustic you can get?

It may be. This S9V is well constructed, sounds very nice, and (as is commonly said of many things) looks better in person than the photos give it credit for.
Given that this is what is being shipped for the low price tag, it only makes sense that it needs a setup…and golly does it….
The nut was cut almost to the right depth but not wide enough for the strings which means if not addressed you have high action and tuning issues…possibly broken strings.
The frets needed leveling though the ends were actually quite good.
The bridge is too high, and there are no spacers underneath as it butts directly against the piezo pickup. As such it needs filed.
All in all, it is a great guitar, and if you can do the work, it's a bargain. If you can't, ask your sales engineer about setup services before you buy so you can get a finger on what it will actually cost you.
Happy strumming….

Just what I would expect from Sweetwater. First time buyer

I purchased a Washburn Bella Tone S9V and the service and time it arrived was impeccable. Even though the Washburn guitar was a Demo it was still given a thorough inspection before it arrived. It was as if were brand new. My faith in this company is number 1.
Thanks

WASHBURN BELLA TONO VITE S9V

Guitar was packaged very well
arrived in a timely fashion.
amazing condition for not getting the pre delivered inspection. (279.00) 299.00 AND UP RECEIVE INSP. Beautiful woods. sounds great for a lower priced acoustic.
fret work could have been better from factory. but string height and set UP was perfect. I WOULD reccomend this guitar for anyone who wants a great looking acoustic with decent sound quality. you get what you pay for. Overall I am very pleased.

Love this Guitar

To make a long story short, I purchased this guitar from the other guys when it first was introduced, covid broke out. A year and a half went by and no guitar, I ended up getting another Washburn Koa Festival Guitar. I kept watching to see who was going to get these in and Sweetwater was first. I waited two and a half years to get this guitar and it was worth the wait. I love the finish, the walnut body and the neck on this guitar is so easy to play. It is aesthetically one of the most beautiful guitars around and it sounds amazing, I'm sold on Washburn Acoustic Guitars.

Great guitar

This was my first guitar from Sweetwater and I want to say that the guitar was perfect in everyway. One of the reasons I ordered from them in the first place was their inspection. I was not disappointed. The guitar plays and sounds great. Two minor things about this guitar is one of the wires for the electronics is not secure on the inside, so if I wobble the guitar for effect is sometimes slaps the top. I don't know why it's not secure but I will probable fix this with some painters tape when I change the strings. The second minor complaint is the strings stick a little in the nut when tuning so I have to push down on the string sometimes. This is a beautiful well made guitar. I can't really say much about the electronics except they work because I only have a regular amp and not an acoustic amp. I had to wait a long time for this guitar since I preordered it but it was worth the wait. I've ordered guitars from other big name online sites and I must say this was the first guitar I could play right out of the box with no set up. Thankyou Washburn, and Sweetwater
