"Awesome Value!"

Feature:
I got the guitar with a black finish. It was flawless. It is a flat black finish. I mention that only because, for some reason, I was expecting a high gloss finish. No big deal though because it looks nice. The machine heads are not sealed but I didn't expect them to be top line on this modestly priced travel guitar. The case is awesome. I didn't look at the dvd yet.

Quality:
Unit was cosmetically perfect. I couldn't find a blemish on it.

Value:
I didn't play any other travel guitars but at this price point, I cannot see anything of better value.

Desirability:
It's cute, it sounds nice and it works for what one would want a travel guitar for.

Sound:
As many have mentioned, the small size of the guitar causes the bass to be limited. Additionally, the guitar comes with light Vinci Strings which don't help the bottom end either. Also, the intonation was off with those light strings. I replaced those with DR Rare Bluegrass strings which have a heavier bottom. The sound is much better - at least more to my liking and the intonation is much improved.

Ease of Use:
Took me a while to get used to it. Being so small it doesn't lay comfortably on one's lap. Using the strap improves that somewhat. Also, it was odd having my left hand closer to my body while playing. All this is minor though as I quickly got used to it's diminutive size.

Support:
I cannot fully comment on this as I have not had any reason to contact Washburn for any matter except to warranty register the product at their website which was a breeze.

Overall:
I don't think I would ever want another travel guitar. If lost or stolen, I would replace it with the same.

" It STINKS! (literally)"

Feature:
I do like that sturdy case with the backpack straps. The only problem I have with this little guitar is the SMELL. Kept hoping it would air out, but several months later, it still stinks like an acre of used cat litter in a chemical dump. Not *quite* as bad as it was at first.

Quality:
Seems pretty solid, stays in tune. Again, it STINKS. Washburn: you could find glues that don't stink!

Desirability:
It's cute.

Sound:
Pretty good for its small size. You can't expect big mellow sound from a travel-size guitar that doesn't take up much room...

Ease of Use:
Just keep in mind that you can't have small size and comfy fit/stability all at the same time.

Support:
Haven't got around to calling Washburn yet.

Overall:
Wonder how long I'll have to wait for the STINK to dissipate...

About Washburn
For over 100 years, Washburn has built more than just great guitars, they've built a history. The Washburn tradition of craftsmanship and innovation has withstood the tests of economics, brand competition and fashion. Since their birth in Chicago in 1883, the name Washburn has been branded into the world's finest stringed instruments. If your interest in guitars borders on passion, you will settle for nothing less than a Washburn.

Recent years have marked incredible growth for Washburn. They also have seen the inclusion of some outstanding guitar innovators in the Washburn family: Nuno Bettencourt, Dimebag Darrell, Roger Waters, Bootsy Collins and Jennifer Batten have the distinction of being some of the few artists ever to be honored with a Washburn signature model guitar.

As we enter the 21st century, Washburn is continuing to build its history. Now more than ever, an investment in a Washburn guitar is a special gift for yourself or someone you know.
Though it's small enough to fit in an airline overhead compartment, the Rover doesn't cut any corners. Solid spruce top, mahogany body, and rosewood fretboard. Included instructional CD-ROM makes it a great choice for beginners, too. Includes case with extra pockets, plus strap and picks.
