Washburn D10S Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar (With Case)
Dreadnought body. Solid Spruce top. Mahogany sides/back. Includes Hardshell Case.
"This guitar is abosolutely AMAZING!!!"
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.
Desirability:
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!
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.
Support:
To be honest I have never actually dealt with anyone from Washburn. Maybe that says something about their product. :)
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.

Washburn D10S Acoustic Customer Review
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.
Desirability:
In total seriousness, I really like how "plain" this instrument is. What frills it has are genuine (inlays) rather than, say, painted.
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.
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).

"Like a fast woman, you can't wait to hold it again."
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.
Desirability:
Like a fast woman, you can't wait to play it.Work of art, fast action and a warm brite tone...awsome.
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.
Support:
Built like a tank, never had to call.
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.

"I am very happy with this guitar - no regrets!"
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!
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.
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.

"I did the research and got a great guitar!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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.
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.
Desirability:
It is really eye catching. Our guitar teacher, almost couldn't take her hands off it.
Sound:
We are fairly new to guitars, but this one sounds great! Our music teacher also complimented how nice it is.
Ease of Use:
The neck is relatively narrow which is nice, and it seems to play very nice.
Support:
Haven't needed to contact the company- knock on wood.
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.
"My first and last guitar ill probably buy cuz its sooo good"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Quality:really good finish, i got the black one but the only thing i hate is that if theres dust on it u can see it clearly
Value:
Pretty decent price for a washburn plus a case wich is pretty good. The case is kind of heavy that way u know itll last a while
Desirability:
i saw the black one and i instantly wanted it
Sound:
Sounds really good to me but then again im a begginer lol The top 2 strings have this wierd sound to them and i love it. i cant explain the sound...
Ease of Use:
I love how the action on the guitar is pretty low
Support:
Theyre always good, i mostly use the live chat
Overall:
I love this guitar
"Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it."
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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
Desirability:
Looks great, feels good. Plays like a dream.
Sound:
Excellent sound and tone for a guitar in this price category. Intonation and action were perfect right out of the box.
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.
"Better Than My Gibsons!"
until a few months ago I was strictly a Gibson man, I own 2 Les Pauls (a 1964 custom, and a 1995 Jimi Page sig. les paul) and (used to own, before this) 2 Gibson acoustics, (a Humming Bird, and a J-45)but then I decided that I cant take any of those to the beach, or to just hang around with - so I was in the market for a budget guitar - I came across this one in a local music shop (brand new) and tried it out - and LOVED IT, not only do I take it to the beach, and play all the time, I sold both of my other acoustics, and this is now my main guitar! this has easily the best sound that I've ever played - yes - even over my old gibsons. the bottom line is to Washburn, price means nothing, quality, and craftsmanship is everything. and thats most evident in this guitar!
"DON'T WASTE MONEY ON GIBSONS THIS IS AMAZING"
Feature:
Not a lot of features.... then agian there are basiclly no features on a acoustic!
Quality:
I had a long (one hour) abd there are no blemishes not one.
Value:
BEST GUITAR I HAVE EVER SPENT IN MY 39 YEARS OF PLAYING.
Desirability:
Nice curves, even for an old man like me!
Sound:
THIS IS MY BEST ACOUSTIC NO LIES, I HAVE 2 GIBSON SONGWRITERS I RETURNED THEM BOTH AND BOUGHT THIS ONE. DONT WASTE MONEY ON OTHERS, IT WILL LAST FOREVER I HAVE HAD THIS FOR A YEAR, ITS LIKE NEW EVERY DAY.
Ease of Use:
Great fat warm tone.
Support:
I had no problems.
Overall:
I will not uy another acoustic, ever.

"Pound for pound, the best bargain under $300!"
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.
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.
Desirability:
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.
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.
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.
Support:
Have not dealt with them.
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.
