Washburn Woodline O12SE Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural Reviews

Absolutely excited to give my daughter this BEAUTIFUL guitar as her BIG graduation gift!(I cannot afford the electric blue Jeep Wrangler she requested..haha ..ugh!) I cannot wait to hear her play this guitar on graduation day. I'm almost as excited for her to get this gift from Mama, than I am to watch her get her diploma! What a treat! June 4th, 2022 can't get here fast enough!
Thank you Washburn! (If you'd like to throw in a Jeep, that'd be great! No pressure!)

Just got mine today. Plays like a dream and looks absolutely gorgeous. Thanks to the Sweet water 55 point inspection guitar arrive in flawless condition as usual. I can't say enough about every Sweetwater experience I've had thanks to Nick Church (best in the business!) and the rest of the team. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Have had this guitar only three days, so keep that in mind. Bought it as an alternate mellow sound to two other acoustics, a D28 spruce too, and a 1970s Guild f30 mahogany with red cedar top. This Washburn was my choice after looking at several minis and smaller sizes - usual suspects. Came close to buying a Martin jr, but wanted mahogany. Key things I notice: perfect build quality and setup (Sweetwater), easy to play as advertised, and most notably the notes ring forever, doing a droning note hangs on and on. Sound at this new stage is crisp. Comparing it to the sweet sounds of the Guild, it is way brighter, but not too much. One detail is that the body is a little narrower which adds comfort playing in a chair, even though it is a regular sized guitar. The Fishman pickup is very good alao with bass and treble and a phaser switch for more bass. Bottom line so far: very good deal but more important a legitimately nice guitar. Can't wait to play it in and use it for next small group (outside) performance.

Gorgeous mahogany top, even the sides and back have striking depth and highlights. The satin finish of the mahogany neck is an outstanding choice, sleek feel and pretty as well. Rich and resonant, this axe is a head-turner. Washburn really hit this one out of the park.

I've had this a little over two months now. It's my favorite acoustic. I like it better than my Taylor 110ce. I used Earthwoods Medium Light, Light and Extra Light and the sound is good with all gages and the action is really good .. about as good as you are going to find on an acoustic and I've tried a lot of them. The size is very comfy. It's beautiful to look at. The one thing I did is order new bridge pins because I don't care for the ones it came with, a minor issue. My next step is to amp it and see how it sounds but I'm sure I'll be happy. All that said, I just love to pick up this guitar.

I have been playing guitar since I was a kid in the 60's. 70 years old now and still playing away. I have had a 12-string Alvarez since 1974 that still looks new, but I thought I'd like to learn fingerpicking and bought this Washburn in order to attempt that easier. Thought a 6-string would be a lot better than my 12-string. I have been loving this little gem for a year now! I must say that I was hesitant at first because I was not familiar with Washburn, but boy am I glad I bought this. So easy, and light. The orchestra size is wonderful! As with other reviews I find it hard to comprehend why you would not wish to save a lot of $$$$. This is such a nice looking, nice playing, nice feeling guitar! You will NOT regret buying this treasure. Did I say I LOVE IT???!!!

THE WLO12SE IS VERY EASY PLAYING ,LIGHT WEIGHT,GREAT TUNE THE ALL AROUND GUITAR TO HAVE , TAKE IT ANYWHERE TO CAMP ,OR JUST AROUND THE HOUSE, IT IS A VERY OUT STANDING GUITAR FOR THE BEGINNERS , I WOULD RECOMMEND IT, to anyone.

Love this guitar. Beautiful to look at, quality build and attention to detail, and a sweet mellow tone that you can only get w/ Mahogany.If you dont have a mahogany in your collection, buy this beauty,you will not regret it.Thanks Sweetwater, as always you guys rock,,,

Wonderful sound and excellent quality!! Highly recommend this wonderful guitar! Extremely easy to play.

Don't know how Washburn can produce the WLO12SE at this price. I had an all mahogany Martin that sells for like over a grand more and I actually prefer the Washburn. I hate to even say this less they raise the price - lol Anyway, as with a lot of new guitars, the strings were not up to par and I replaced them with the new Ernie Ball Aluminum Bronze 11-52's which I recently discovered ~ awesome strings. Fit and finish are as perfect as can be. I mean if you look close enough on any guitar you will find something... after all they are made by humans ya know, but you would be hard pressed to find anything on the Woodline I have. Action was right on for me. Intonation up fretboard was excellent. Tone is moderately warmer and with these strings sustain is excellent with beautiful tone. Great for fingerstyle. I personally really like the wood inlay soundhole treatment and overall looks. I have to agree with another reviewer and say save your money and buy this Washburn Woodline Wonder.

I have owned a fair few guitars in my time of what the industry calls top of the line. Taylor 914ce, Taylor Baritone 8 String, I have played countless other standards of the Industry Gibson, Guilds, Martins, etc. This is my 2nd Washburn. The other is a WG16S (mahogany back/cedar top) I would also rate that guitar a 4.5.

The sound of the WLO12SE acoustically is everything you want from Mahogany, and nothing you don't! The neck is great! And it plays super easy. My small complaints are this.. no 2nd strap nut! Washburn..just put the 2nd strap nut on the guitar where Taylor does and be done with it. .. and my second complaint is the rosette which looks pretty cheap. The WG16S in comparison (for the same price) also lacked the strap nut..but the looks of the guitar were stunning.

Unless you are buying top of the line Martins or other top Mahogany guitars. Skip the middle and just buy this.. save a lot of money and get the sound of a $1500.00 for less than $400.

I'd like to give a total of 5 stars to Sweetwaters! Who were fast, communicative, and the guitar arrived in perfect order.
