MGR/Uncle SEARS « Washburn D10S »
Published on 12/19/07 at 15:00Only been playing for 18 months. Mainly fairly simple stuff from TAB books purchased in music stores. No band....certainly not yet !! Very much admire Beatles, Stones, Clapton...Cream, Creedence, etc....that era. Clapton is safe...doesn't have to worry about me for a while.
Walked into local music store and paid cash..AUD $300. Took the advice of the salesman who was very good and in no doubt that I had never picked a guitar up before. The deal included bag, tutorial CD and tuner...a great deal!! Believe these now cost abt AUD $350.00 in 2007.
Seems to be very well constructed for this price range. It has good volume and when set up correctly offers very good "playability."
Not much. It required another set up abt 8 months after I bought it....the neck required adjustment and the action needed fixing but this was easily acieved by a technician at reasonable cost.
This was made in China (what isn't?) but that certainly doesn't detract from it at all. No glue spots and the overall finish is very good. Tuners appear to be good quality as well. Stays in tune very well if housed in a case. Solid and well presented.
For this sort of money an excellent entry level guitar... although I have seen a guitarist play one in a band at a local hotel so that must also say somethng about it. If it died or left home tomorrow I would buy another.
Good value for money, there would be a lot worse out there.
