History:
Purchase: The music center where I take lessons has a Washburn fetish. My first Washburn was a D8. The neck was warped and the set up was terrible - adjustments helped a bit but I was pretty underwhelmed. It is, of course, pretty much an entry level guitar. A new selection of D10's had come into the shop and were on sale so I picked up on of the SCE's with expectations that were not too high.
What I Like About This Unit: All I can say is that it was pretty damn impressive. Great feel and tone - whoever had done the set up had done a nice job - which helped too. Got it plugged into an amp and was even more impressed - very clean and pretty " acuoutic sound (none of some of the "dullness" I'd experienced with other A/E's. Some nice pre-amp features that let you play around a bit but still seem to maintain the integrity of the guitar pretty well.
What I Do NOT Like About The Washburn D10SCE: Not much too dislike but will admit that I'm not a very accomplished player - trained on cords and TABs - anybody who was any good would probably cringe.
D10SCE Quality: Compared to other models in the price range - and probably at least a couple hundred bucks above - I'd rate this at least an 8.5 out of 10. Light but with a very solid feel, have not even begun to even see a sign of wear on the fretboard and have been beating this to death.
Summary: Great A/E especially if you can find it somewhere in the $300 range. Nice feel and tone - both acoustically and with some current. Seems to be very solid (time will tell).
