Well done Washburn. I have never seriously looked at the products prior to this purchase. If I am in the market for a more up scale guitar, I will definitely check out a Washburn in my search.

Sound
The sound of this guitar is more than what you would expect from a small size travel guitar. It is a ten in it's class. This instrument is much better than the Martin model I played.It is expressive, the action is awesome and has great sustain. I ordered the pick up for this model and look forward to playing through my Fender Acoustic Amp.

Features
The case is over the top. I did not expect the quality to be so good. Although I don't need the instructional DVD, I did register with Washburn. Their Rock Club looks pretty decent and I look forward to checking out the downloads.

Ease of Use
The small body takes some getting used to but it is a small price to pay for the way this guitar performs. I adjusted the neck slightly to lower the action and it has the feel of an electric. I plan to increase the gauge of the strings as they are too light for my taste. I couldn't put it down the first day, played it for several hours. It is a gas.

Quality
Say what you want about being made in China. The Washburn engineers have worked well with the production folks in China. The workmanship is awesome for the cost of this instrument. I saw some minor flaws but it is as advertised, read more good looking travel guitar. You will be noticed when you are out and about.

Value
This product is definitely worth the selling price. Pay more for it? How do you answer that question. Of course not.

Manufacturer Support
Getting set up with Washburn was easy. I have not had to use their support as the instructions were very clear to register, etc.

The Wow Factor
This thing is good looking and fits well with my other instruments. I have 5 other guitars that will be glad to not be beat up on the road now that I have this gem.
