Washburn Review: D-100

History:

Purchase: Bought this at Musicians friend after Mars Music went out of business. From what I gather this is a custom build from Washburn that was made for Mars Music that needed to be liquidated after they closed up shop. Usually I am leery of closeouts and whatnot, but for $99.00, this thing comes with Grover tuners and is well built! It sounds great and after I had the action lowered and the right set of strings on it, it is awesome. The guy at the store wanted to buy it off of me for $300! I went back and bought a second one of these because they are such an awesome deal.

What I Like About This Washburn D-100: Do NOT miss this deal! The sound is great, and with heavy strings the lower end is really strong.

What I Do NOT Like About The Washburn D-100: Some of the upper frets needed to be seated a little better, I had a slight vibration on the third fret on the E after I lowere the action but after a little adjustment it works like a charm. I almost feel guilty about how cheap I got this new guitar... naahhh!

Washburn D-100 Quality Rating: Very solid, thick even varnish, healthy fretboard.

Review Summary: You have to buy one or two of these.

Rating of this Washburn product: 5
