Wonderful Guitar

If you're looking for a top sound guitar, which sound as good or better than a Taylor, or other more expensive brands, make no mistake, this one is for you.
I was "fighting" to a get a descent sound from a Godin without success.
The Washburn C64SCE was the solution after lowering the action to 2.8mm at the 12th fret. Which I did myself.
I play mostly Brazilian Jazz with requires a warm sound and wider neck. In my opinion, Washburn and Cordoba are the best guitar in the market right now. They are very well made and worth a lot more than what you pay.
Stop your search, get one, preferably at Sweetwater, the best music store in the Country, service and price wise. You won't be sorry.
Music background: Composer, guitar player.

Delighted with this classical

Got this today after ordering another and not liking the playability
Love the action as is and really am liking the built in tuner
Solid top sounds great
A bonus for me was the truss rod I'll have this baby in the flamenco zone
Big thanks to my Sweetwater rep Aaron for getting this to me Uber fast on a holiday weekend
This will be the couch - beach guitar

Only One Issue

I received the guitar quickly (as usual for Sweetwater) and left it in the box for 24 hours per instructions. I unpacked it the next day and was tickled to find that it even included the 9-volt battery needed for the tuner and electronics. I unwrapped the battery, inserted it, and was dismayed to see that the tuner did not work. I plugged it into my amp and hardly got any sound. I had never needed to return anything to Sweetwater before and was worried that my luck had run out. In spite of the 55-point inspection Sweetwater did, the electronics did not work. I decided to sleep on it before requesting a return. In the morning I decided to test the brand-new battery that came with the guitar. You guessed it! It was dead. I put in a fresh one and it worked like a charm. This is the 13th guitar in my collection and there is nothing unlucky about it. Sounds great! Plays great! Just one thing; I've been playing guitar for 58 years (since I was 13) and every guitar I own still makes stupid mistakes! Go figure.
Music background: Still write and record, but my performing days are long gone.
Rated 5/5

My best guitar.

I have five guitars… A Godin multiac grand concert, a Yamaha SLG 200N, a Cordoba C5 CET, a Gibson Les Paul and a Washburn C64SCE-A.
The Washburn is the best of all, plugged in or not. The sound is warm and clear the workmanship is flawless. The looks is traditional and perfect and the price is unbelievable. It is my least expensive guitar but the one I like the best.
Out of the box, the action was too high. I lowered to 2.7mm on the 12th fret, it is perfect now. Very playable.
You don't need to spend thousands on a Taylor or any other brand to have a nice guitar.
Washburn C64SCE-A is the best classical guitar I ever played on.
