Washburn D5 Apprentice
My second review after purchasing. Yes, I eventually purchased a Guild acoustic but it's important to know how nice this Washburn is. I can't think of a better beginner or even a travel guitar that you can get at this price with a hardshell case.
Yes, it's laminated but there are no sharp frets, the action is low and it never changes! It has a decent/good sound and the tuners are excellent! It stays in tune. It's a nice-looking guitar and for some reason smells good. The case is fantastic. I'm just not a fan of gig bags. No need to humidify like I'm constantly doing with my Guild which is a borderline nightmare in Arizona. I still often play this and enjoy it. If you need a good inexpensive guitar to write with, learn with, travel with try this thing...
Wow!
Previously my only acoustic guitar is a Taylor GS Mini that is great, but I needed a full sized acoustic and didn't want to pay Taylor prices. I've never owned a Washburn and thought well, this comes with a hard shell case, Spruce top, Mahogony back and sides, I'll take a chance. The case is really nice, much better than I expected! The guitar it self seems very well made. The pictures on line make it look almost like a satin finish but it's gloss and glossy. Not a blemish on it or any kind of defect whatsoever. I'm really impressed! Stays in tune and sounds very nice. I had it set up and advise in doing so. Makes a world of difference. Shout out to Sam B! Good job! You got it just how I like it! Anyway, this purchase completely exceeded my expectations.
