Washburn D10 Series Acoustic Guitar (Natural) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am writing this review from the perspective of an experienced amateur. I got my first acoustic guitar over 40 years ago; I've looked at and played numerous makes/models...and this guitar is one of the best I've found in the "affordable"(ie, less than $400-$500) range.
Why? For less than $300, one gets the following:
- solid spruce top
- mahogany back, sides, and neck
- rosewood fingerboard & bridge
- Grover-style sealed tuners
- Buzz Feiten Tuning System (amazing...see his web site for more info)
- nice bindings on the body & neck
- D'Addario strings
- a case (more on this)
I am able to pluck harmonics at almost every fret...rare on any guitar, no matter the price.
The Buzz Feiten Tuning System maintains pitch, most importantly, at the lower 3 frets.
My guitar may have been a "blem" as it has several minor cosmetic issues...but nothing that I couldn't accept...it plays & sounds so well!
With respect to the case: mine is not the "GC110" that Washburn lists on their website...it was a less-expensive, lower-quality one; honestly, it is not worthy of the guitar, so I will upgrade it soon. I am not sure why the switch was done. Again, not a deal breaker...but potential buyers should be aware.
Bottom line...If someone asked me to recommend a good quality, reasonably-priced, fine-sounding & fun-to-play acoustic guitar, the D-10 would be my first suggestion...and it comes with its own case (with the caveat that it might not be as good as the earlier models' cases).
I hope to upload some pictures...maybe even a video...over the next week or so.
