A Student-level Acoustic that’s ready for the Stage

Washburn’s Vintage Series WA90CEVSB acoustic-electric guitar is the perfect entryway into the world of acoustic guitar, loaded with everything you need to start your musical journey off right! The WA90CEVSB is designed with a dreadnought body shape — by far the most common acoustic design — for a deep, projecting tone that’s ideal for vocal accompaniment. Next, the Venetian cutaway allows your hand to easily slide up to even the highest frets, while the “C”-shape neck is a perfect middle-of-the-road profile that Sweetwater's guitar experts find to be comfortable for players of all ages and sizes. Moreover, the built-in tuner is indispensable when you’re mastering your first few songs, and when you finally do, the Barcus Berry LX4 electronics allow you to effortlessly amplify your tone up on stage!

Built-in Barcus Berry LX4 electronics and tuner

From your first few chords to complete 6-string mastery, it’s always important to keep a tuner close by. The Vintage Series WA90CEVSB’s built-in tuner is located right on the side of the instrument, removing the need for a clip-on or pedal tuner. What’s more, a high-quality Barcus Berry LX4 electronics system comes built-in to bring your sound to audiences of any size, and the treble, bass, middle, and presence controls are essential when sculpting out the acoustic-electric tone of your dreams.

A great guitar at a great price.

When I saw this guitar at a guitar shop,it caught my eye with it's great appearance.
I played it, then looked around at more expensive guitars, including Taylor, Martin, etc., which I also played. I would come back to this Washburn after each guitar I played, and it compared very well. Something about the sound and comfort of it that impressed me, for a guitar that was so inexpensive.
Well, I bought it, and I have played it at a few gigs. It may not sound as majestic as my Martin, but it is a joy to play, and sounded great at my gig yesterday. An audience member came up at the break to praise the look and sound of my Washburn, and told me he loved his own Washburn guitar.
Check it out!
Music background: Still gigging after all these years.

This thing is really nice!

I'm surprised by the quality of this guitar. It was almost perfectly tuned to E when I got it out of the box. The strings seem fairly decent. The guitar has a beautiful sound. The neck is really comfortable in my hand. It looks nice enough my kids haven't even touched it yet. For the price, I didn't expect what I received. I'm looking forward to them guitar aging and having the kids pick it up. I hope it survives traveling with us.
Music background: Long time listener, aspiring artist

Very nice for the price

I'm very happy with my new acoustic/electric. Even it sells like an beginner gig I can tell you it's quite a pro. The acoustic volume is high, the intonation (by ear) is perfect, stays in tune at all times and the neck is very playable except for an action a little bit high to my taste. I change the strings to a lighter set (.010-.047) to do some bendings and low the action a little bit. The tuner works fine and the preamp has a broad set of tones using the different options of the equalizer. Totally very nice for the price.
Rated 5/5

Just unboxed

This guitar plays like a much more expensive guitar. The sound is loud and clean. The resonance is superb. So glad I purchased the guitar. Arrived in perfect tune. Can't say enough good about this guitar or about Sweetwater music. Thank you.

Constantly having to re'tune.

Nice sound, but constantly having to re-tune. Would not recommend!
