Good beginner guitar

Recieved this guitar two days earlier than estimated. Tuning was easy with the built in tuner and it plays great with factory strings. Easy to fret even for a beginner.Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to get into playing an acoustic
Rated 5/5

Great sound

The first one I bought, had a broken battery area. However, I sent it back and they sent a replacement within one day. I bought this acoustic/electric guitar because it is a name brand (Washburn), it is made of mahogany wood, it has a built-in tuner, it's a cutaway and it's a full size guitar. Since it is a full-size guitar it has a great booming sound. The action is great and it has minimal fret buzz on the low E; not too much. Like everyone has stated, the gig bag is nice, but it does not offer any protection whatsoever. Also, it does not have a strap button for the front; only the back. I definitely recommend this guitar. I don't think you'll find anything like it in this price range.

Great guitar

I was looking for a nice guitar to take with me on trips and camping. I am a big guy and did not want a smaller "travel" guitar. This guitar is intended as a starter guitar. It has a great sound and nice fretboard. The sound through pickup is excellent. Having a built-in tuner allows me to carry one less item. I am very happy with this guitar and would recommend it for beginners or old timers like me who just need an extra guitar around.

Beginner Guitar

Not only did my sales rep give me CHOICES regarding a beginners guitar, he gave me choices in my price range. Two guitarists have been using MY guitar in church instead of theirs because the distance between the strings & frets is better than the guitars they use. I am still in my first couple weeks of learning, but having a GOOD beginner guitar has kept me motivated.
