    My garage guitar is a Washburn D21 from prob late 80s or early 90s. Solid wood, rosewood back and sides. Had to put a tusq saddle in it. Sounds incredible for a used $229 beater. Can’t speak to the new ones but the old ones are great value if the neck is straight

    I am still playing my 30 year old Wasburn D-13/S along with all the other acoustic guitars I own. Your video has inspired me to have a pick up installed in my D13/S as I like to do some studio recordings, and I have been using my other electric acoustic/guitars to do studio, while the D13/S sits there...weeping lol. I'm thinking of installing a K&K pickup, which I have on one of my Martin Road Series...love the K&K setup. Congrats on your new axe, she's a beauty for sure....enjoy !!!

    I have a Washburn D10 that I bought years ago for like $200. Today, I have more expensive guitars, but I still play my Washburn all the time. Folks won't believe me, but it sounds awesome, and it's super comfortable to play. ❤

      My uncle gave me a D10 he had as a kid from 1991 he had never really played it that much. When I looked up the value I was expecting in the $500 range minimum from how it plays and how well its built.

    My first guitar was a Washburn. I put it on layaway, and was over the moon when I finally got it. It’s been broken where the neck meets the body 3 times. The first time, I had it professionally repaired. The other two times, I just glued and clamped it myself. It still sounds good.

Stock Grover 18-1 tuners with the Florentine style cutaway. I can't believe I was able to snag it off Facebook marketplace on the low . Great video and beautiful guitar

    Picked up a Washburn vintage series acoustic guitar maybe a year and a half ago. Nice looking, sweet playing and sounds good. Cowboy chords are easy to play which tells me the nut is cut right. And the action is good. Sounds good clean and thru an amp with those elixar strings you recommended. I dont see why anyone wouldnt like Washburn. Mine is one of the cheapest ones they make and its a great guitar.

      my brother was in Sarasota Florida for work in a condo and happened to see Joe Perry of Aerosmith and the next day, hoping to run into Joe, my brother brought my dad's really nice hollow body Washburn with him and as my brother was getting into the elevator, there was Joe so he asked Joe if he would sign it and sure enough he did. Joe actually said (I'm paraphrasing what my brother said) these a pretty nice guitars and I have a few of them.

    I love my Washburn! My parents didn’t have much money and I really needed a decent guitar with a pickup to go out and play shows. my first guitar that I learned on a very cheap Johnson just wasn’t going to cut it and my parents were able to get enough money together to get me a Washburn acoustic electric and I loved it, it plays great sounds great and 15 years later I still enjoy playing it.

    Hey, is the top solid spruce? Sounds amazing, and if its not solid it’s even more amazing for the sound your’e getting out of it! I actually love Washburn because you always get more guitar than you pay for. My main acoustic axe right now is the Nuno Bettendorf signature EA20NB. Solid spruce top, rosewood sides and back-laminated, but that solid top is pretty amazing! Put in a Tusq saddle and it sounds pretty high end for the $700ish it was going for!
