Washburn Steel String Travel Acoustic Guitar (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The long and short of it:

This little guitar was WAY better than I expected it to be.The sound is great-- not too soft, not too loud.Don't expect to be able to compete with the volume of a full-sized guitar.It doesn't have the full bass range that you'd expect from a larger guitar, but the overall tone is quite nice.I've taken this thing camping and felt comfortable knowing I wasn't annoying anyone at other campsites.I have even played quietly in my cubicle at work and no one has complained-- (probably depends on how casual your workplace is.)I even took it on a plane to Mexico and it easily fit in overhead storage with plenty of room to spare for suitcases.

I still haven't tried my own strings on it, which I suspect will improve the tone even more.The way it lays in the case makes it prone to de-tune itself (the tuners are really close to the walls of the case), but that's my only complaint.As others have stated, the strap had a really toxic petroleum smell when I first got it but that seemed to dissipate after a couple months or so.Not sure what that's all about, but it's easily remedied with your own strap--or just waiting it out.The case itself is really nice-- I felt like I was getting a real deal by them including it.

Not too easy to play without the strap due to the light body/heavier neck.However, the full-sized neck makes this guitar superior to some of the other 'backpacking' guitars out there.I'm glad this guitar has standard tuning, especially if someone else wants to play along.

I can't tell you how many people try my Washburn Rover out only to finally hand it back to me and say something like, "man, I should really pick one of these up... how much did you pay for it again?..."
