Washburn D10 Series Acoustic Guitar (Natural)

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...Read more

I was able to purchase this guitar for $199. including shipping. The quality of this guitar, the tone, and even the guitar case are really exceptional for the money.

This is an awesome guitar. It sounds great and looks great. It is reasonably priced for this quality of guitar.

The guitar case that it comes with is an awesome hard shell case and I have seen the same one selling on the internet for over $70 alone.


My only qualms are with Amazon who shipped me the natural finish instead of the black finish. I have decided to keep the natural finish but I have contacted Amazon about their mistake.

Definitely worth the money.
