A low budget jem
I recently sold my Gibson J100 Xtra after 20 years because more often than not it sat in the case under my bed. It was a great playing and sounding guitar but I rarely play anymore and it's too nice of a guitar to sit unused. However, I did need a replacement acoustic so when I found these Washburns online I was hesitant to say the least. I was used to a top quality guitar and i was about to spend less than $200 on a new one.
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. Mind you this one was a factory second that couldn't be priced new because of so called finish flaws. The guitar has an almost perfect finish a few minor wavy spots in the finish around the binding, so small that I was able to buff them out with a fingernail buffer. Now the sound of course is nowhere near the same volume or bass response of the Gibson, but it really does sound good. Especially plugged in. The on board EQ and tuner work great. I did have to adjust the neck a little and file down the saddle a little to get the action where i wanted it, but less than 15 minutes of work got it playing rather nicely.
The neck is a tad smaller than the Gibson, but is very comfortable to play especially for someone with small hands like myself. The sound, while not booming and loud like my old guitar is articulate and has a sweet tone.
All in all I'm very pleased that I purchased this guitar for the money you can't really go wrong.Read full review...

Better than expected!
Looking to buy a decent fire pit jam guitar that could be plugged in and play with a small amp from time to time. This guitar is that and so much more! The fit and finish are absolutely gorgeous. The tone is fabulous and plugged in sounds of a VERY much more expensive guitar! The set up right out the box was spot on ready to go with a quick tuning. Read full review...
