SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: Sounds very good, though lows are a little blunted. I've switched to some DR strings that seem to have imporived that a little. Sond is better when you consider the price. Ease of Use: It would probably be difficult for me to switch guitar brands because Washburn's necks are uniquely thin - a bit like an electric. However, I think this makes it easier to play. Although it comes with an action lower than most in its price range, I modified it a little more. To me it frets and plays just as well as most other guitars that cost much more. Quality: When adressing this, you really have to be fair and consider price, as welll as the fact that it is mass-produced. Considering both, this product is exceptional. When I go into music shops I often look at all of the 200-600 dollar guitars to "compare". this stacks up with the quality of ANY guitar going for 300-400, is much better than anything else in the 200 class, and as good as MOST of the 400+ guitars. Is the wood as good? probably not. And there are undoubtedly other "quality" differences with bracing, etc., but. . . Value: Seriously, I really dont "want" to like this guitar. Something about products mass-produced in China conflicts with my wanting to be an aesthete. What I's really like to have is a "fine" hand-crafted instrument that is made out of perfectly matched and rare woods. An instrument for which extra insurance is needed. But, hey I don't have that kind of money. This is as good a value as they come. The Wow Factor: In total seriousness, I really like how "plain" this instrument is. What frills it has are genuine (inlays) rather than, say, painted. Overall: I'll keep this indefinitely, even if I get a more expensive instrument. It will always be used for camping, beach, or just somethig I'm not afraid my kids are going to ruin (if they do, I'll buy another).

Sound: This guitar provides excellent sound. I has a very crisp and clear sound to it. This is guitar that will definetly stand out when played with other guitars. Its loud and clear sound has definetly helped me refine my guitar skills by being able to better hear the mistakes made when playing. This is something I wasnt able to do when playing a variety of other guitars. Feature: This guitar has prettry much everything that one needs. It is a beautiful guitar with great sound!!!!!!!! Quality: This guitar is made very well. I have never had any problems with loose parts or anything of the sort with this guitar. It is a beautiful guitar with a great finish and can be shined up easily using a guitar rag. I have had this guitar for about two years and have traveled with it a lot and have had no mechanical or cosmetic problems with the guitar. Value: I would say this guitar is more than worth its price. I bought this guitar as a beginner guitar and was a little leary about the price, especially since I was a beginner. But after having this guitar for two years I would definety be willing to purchase this product again. Manufacturer Support: To be honest I have never actually dealt with anyone from Washburn. Maybe that says something about their product. :) The Wow Factor: On top of sound excellent, this guitar is awesome looking as well. Especially, the black version. THis guitar has great sex appeal and provides a smooth appearance. It makes you look like the guitar player you want to be! Overall: I plan on never getting rid of this guitar, even after its days are over. Ill always keep this guitar because it was my first and my favorite. When the time comes to search for another guitar, I definetly buy another washburn, and probably the same version that I have now. I love everything about this guitar and have been nothing but satisfied with the product.

Back to Product Information
Sound: sounds great, wonderful tone Ease of Use: I didn't change the action, strings, anything. Just take it out of the case and go. It stays in tune - I check it once a week with a tuner, sometimes I don't have to do anything, sometimes I only need to tighten 1 or 2 strings just a touch. Quality: finish and color are very nice. (I got the natural one) Value: great price. Guitars like this one should cost more, it's a steal! Overall: This is really a nice guitar. Looks great, plays great, sounds great. No complaints at all. I think you can safely ignore the reviews that say "I got it x years ago" because this one has a solid spruce top whereas I think the old ones did not, so those people are writing reviews for a different instrument.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: We are fairly new to guitars, but this one sounds great! Our music teacher also complimented how nice it is. Feature: It has the solid top [that is supposed to make it sound better], which is what we were looking for. I was also very impressed that it even came with a few extra parts, directions on neck adjustments, and a beatifully custom [snug] fit case. Ease of Use: The neck is relatively narrow which is nice, and it seems to play very nice. Quality: It is beautiful. The only thing that I can say is I did have to tighten the tiny screws inside the string adjuster things... they were a tad loose, and I think I have to have the neck adjusted as it is not a dime width the whole way down the neck. Nothing major at all. Value: This is rated #1 by acoustic guitar magazine, and according to all of my comparison shopping- this is an awesome guitar! Great Value! Guitars with these same features cost a lot more. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed to contact the company- knock on wood. The Wow Factor: It is really eye catching. Our guitar teacher, almost couldn't take her hands off it. Overall: Well- after the neck adjustment and the strings get changed... I expect that we will have years and years of enjoyment with this guitar. I don't see the need to upgrade unless maybe my son becomes a famous musician or something: ) FYI- this is our 2nd Washburn, the 1st is an electric.

ZZOUNDS CREW REVIEW
Sound: This guitar is very dynamic. You can go from power chord pounding to subtle finger picking and it will keep up with you. I'm more of a singer songwriter, so I like my chord work to be big and bold, and this guitar does the job. Full bodied sound from top frequencies to the low frequencies and lush if you know what you're doing. I think it would shine mic'ed up in a band or even solo. Not sure how it might sound recorded, but the natural sound of the guitar is very pleasing to the ears. Feature: This guitar comes standard with a hardshell case, truss rod wrench, extra bridge saddle, and end pins(where the strap holds onto the guitar). I must say, having a hardshell case is essential if you're taking a guitar out of the home. You always want to protect your baby. It was also nice to have some adjustment tools and even the extra end pin, which I always seem to have falling from my guitars. They're not essential, but are certainly thoughtful on Washburn's part. This guitar has a solid spruce top and a mahogany back and sides. I feel a solid spruce is almost essential for the right combination of sustain and bass frequency a dreadnought should have. Ease of Use: It's a good guitar, but ultimately, tone is in your hands, so it is what you make of it. It gives you a lot to work with and aside from needing a good setup, the neck is smooth and fast. Quality: This is a well built guitar hands down. The frets are smooth, the fretboard is solid and the neck feels solid as well. Typically you find something unfinished or missed on guitars in this price range, but all the small details such as sanding and finish seemed to have been taken care of. It seems like it will stand to constant use, and abuse, but we don't abuse our instruments now do we? Did I mention it's a pretty guitar too? I wouldn't hesitate to take it on the road, especially considering it comes with a very solid and tough hard case. I suspect with proper care, this guitar will last you a decade if not more. My only complaint is that the action from the factory was a bit high, this made chords a pain, but any good guitar technician could easily fix this. Value: For the price, this guitar blows other out of the water. As far as student guitars go, this one ranks A+. To find a guitar with such good craftsmanship and a hardshell case at such a price is not common. Manufacturer Support: Have not dealt with them. The Wow Factor: For the price, this guitar blows other out of the water. As far as My girlfriend liked it. It definitely would have a place in most setups as the main songwriting/take anywhere/scratchpad guitar.student guitars go, this one ranks A+. To find a guitar with such good craftsmanship and a hardshell case at such a price is not common. Overall: If this product were stolen, I'd surely replace it. It may not be my "number one" onstage, but as far as a "go to" guitar for home use and practice, I give it a huge thumbs up. It's definitely an all around workhorse for those who need something to write and work through ideas. An amazing value for students, and mighty useful for even the most seasoned of players.

Sound: Excellent sound and tone for a guitar in this price category. Intonation and action were perfect right out of the box. Feature: For the price, the features are unbeatable; quality tuning machines, well-adjusted compensated saddle, excellent finish. Quality: For the price, the best I've seen. The sound and action rival those of guitars in the $800 and up range. Value: Worth much more than the selling price. A good deal all around The Wow Factor: Looks great, feels good. Plays like a dream. Overall: This instrument satisfies my needs completely; it will be used constantly, and I would buy another if anything happened to this one. I like the finish and setup -- needed no action adjustments, no touch-up or alteration, plays just great.

Sound: All down to personal preference but I've recently bought a Levin Goliath (well known for its sound quality) and there isn't much between them.

Ease of Use: I haven't tinkered with the set up but it plays great out of the box Quality: Very sturdy build Value: Amazing! I didn't intend to buy this, I went into a guitar shop to kill some time and tried all sorts including some hand mades a Taylor and a Lowden - some of them more than ten times the price of this but this sounded and played the best. I kid you not. Manufacturer Support: Don't know, can't imagine I'd ever have to contact them. The Wow Factor: In years to come this could be another Levin. Overall: Still deciding between the Levin and this but the Levin was over £60 more than forty years ago and has since become a bit of a legend in the guitar world.

Value: Best bang for the buck... in my opinion Manufacturer Support: Don't know The Wow Factor: Already have it and would buy another if need be... Might also check out the D11 with the upgrade to ash over spruce. Overall: I can't see playing anything else in this price range and would certainly recommend it to anyone who is looking for great sound and quality.

Sound: It sounds good, particularly if you put nicer strings on. Feature: the best feature of the guitar is the case. Ease of Use: the neck is very narrow (I don't like it), the action is pretty high and also not very comfortable. Quality: The guitar is well made, unfortunately it doesn't come set up. In fact, I had a feeling that nobody bothered to even strum a chord on it before putting it into the box. Value: I got it for about 200 brand new with the case, and if narrow neck is your thing, it has the sound to make it good value. Manufacturer Support: didn't use it The Wow Factor: It looks like a guitar, that is to say, I didn't buy it for the looks. Overall: This guitar gets great reviews and yet, I would stop by the store and check it our for yourself. It is not that it doesn't have the sound. It is just you have to play and see for yourself. Also, check out seagull S6 it is about twice the price but it might be worth the money. Another instrument that I really like is fender GC23s, it is a smaller guitar with wider neck and nice low action.

Sound: I am amazed with the sound this guitar puts out. You would not expect a $250 guitar to sound this great. You will not find another guitar with the range of this one for the price.

I don't think I will have a single problem with this guitar, I have been playing it since '04 and it still looke brand new and sounds like. Value: Simply can't be beat, it plays well above it's price range. I wish other companies would catch on as well. The Wow Factor: At first glance it could pass for a Johnny Cash edition guitar, the ladies seem to like that for some reason. Overall: I think I will be able to play this for many years to come and maybe pass it on to my son. I migh buy another just like it just in case this goes down for whatever reason.

Sound: I rate the sound as decent. To me the sound doesn`t compare with higher end acoustics but for the novice it is good. Instead of responding to all these questions I will say this: When strung up with some good strings such as John Pearse bronze acoustics, this guitar will project well enough with decent bottom end. Not the bottom end as say a Martin but nice enough for an every day beater which is what I do with this guitar. The more I play it the better it gets sound wise. Feature: I changed out the bridge saddle to a bone one but left the nut alone. The tuners are good and you'll not have to replace them. The finish is decent but I took down the poly on the neck to the bare wood with some scotch brite pads. I love the feel of natural wood vs poly so with this guitar being a beater I had no reservations to do this. I plan on removing all the poly from the entire guitar very soon. Who cares ? Its a beater ! Again a solid top guitar with decent internal bracing and hardware for @ $200 is a good deal. Ease of Use: It is playable OK. The action was a tad high but when I changed out the saddle I was able to lower it along with a neck adjustment to wher it is good enough. Value: Six years ago when I bought it you couldn`t get better for the money but nowadays there are more guitars in this price range with solid tops so look around. IMHO it still holds its own against the competition in this class though. Overall: Im old but been playing stedaily for the last 8 yrs. As I do yearn for an all solid wood upgrade I still like this Washbuen for banging around the house, vacations and back yard useage. I never worry about it and it sounds good. It has some nice bags and dings and I plan on removing all the poly finish just cause I want to. I say go play a few of these and compare them to others but these are worhy for the intermediate player looking for a decent acoustic.

Back to Product Information
Sound: The sound of this guitar reflects the workmanship (in my opinion) - bright and light. The sound of the wood just isn't present in the resonance - no deep range that you get with better built guitars. To compare this with a Martin or a Taylor is simply mad. Feature: Useful yes - as a guitar to take on holiday when you want to keep your good guitar in its case at home Ease of Use: Reasonable - the top nut doesn't allow sharp movement as it has a poorly shaped edge that jabs when coming down to a basic E or C chord. The action is also a little too high above the 5th fret. The headstock angle might be the problem here. Quality: Reasonable - won't stand up to real gigs, but it will do as a fall-back guitar - which at the price is what a seasoned guitarist would expect. The heavy gloss protects the wood and suppresses the overall sound. Value: This is the strong point of this guitar. Manufacturer Support: no comment The Wow Factor: Well it does look nice because it's shiny! Overall: This is really a guitar for the novice. Beyond that, you're going to need a 'good' instrument. For that - you will have to look at something much pricier and with a real sense of projection - such as a Martin or a Taylor or a Takamine - or an old Guild if you can get your hands on one.

Sound: None it's my favorite guitar. I've been playing for 32 years. It fret's well, and feals good in my hands. And the sound is awsome,good tone and sound. Feature: Just a pick lol. Wish it came with a pickup. Quality: Well made and will take a beating, the finish is tough.I have had it 10 years, and played it daily...still looks new. Value: A steal even for the retail price. Manufacturer Support: Built like a tank, never had to call. The Wow Factor: Like a fast woman, you can't wait to play it.Work of art, fast action and a warm brite tone...awsome. Overall: The last gutair I will ever want or need. I have had 12 other box guitars, and this one is a real joy to play. If I had to replace it,I would hunt down another one. Wish it came with a pickup...installed my own.

Sound: Great sound for an inexpensive cost. More experienced players that have picked it up are amazed at the quality of sound, too. I've been playing for about a month and I feel that this guitar is exactly what new players desire-- easy playability and quality sound. Highly recommended! Quality: There was a minor cosmetic blemish on the top, but MINOR-- Barely noticeable. Value: Yes. Manufacturer Support: Nothing yet. The Wow Factor: no frills--great sound, though. Overall: I consider this a learning guitar. I will probably look for another guitar in the future. The purchase would only be based on my growth as a guitar player. I foresee myself purchasing something with a little better quality wood. But for now I really could not be happier.

Sound: Excellent tone and sustain. No fretbuzz, although I had mine setup at guitar shop. Highly recommend Light Elixir polywebs for this instrument. Feature: Grover style tuners seem to work well; guitar stays in tune. I love the solid spruce top, produces a great sound. I have no complaints about action or playability...top notch for any guitar, not just an "entry level" one. Quality: I am particular about taking care of my instruments. I can find no fault in material or finish on this guitar. It seems as well built as one would expect for an acoustic guitar. I would recommend that the strap button on this guitar, as any acoustic guitar, be glued or reinforced in some manner if one if planning to use a strap and stand up while playing. Value: I am impressed with the quality, construction, and sound from this guitar. When properly set up and using quality strings I consider this guitar competitive with anything I have seen in the $600 or less price range. Manufacturer Support: I have had no reason to contact the manufacturer. The guitar comes with a lifetime warranty. The Wow Factor: This guitar is simple but attractive. I own the natural wood version; the face wood is finely bookmatched and grain is very consistent. The clear finish is very heavy and durable, which some purists will note may affect tone, but I feel it is appropriate for a guitar that is meant to learn with and actually taken out of the house. Feel free to bring this guitar to the campfire or to jam with friends. Overall: This guitar's advertisements and reviews truly seem to do it justice. It's a guitar that can be played well, has a good sound, and is built to provide years of entertainment.
