Ebay $175.00
Solid sapele (mahogany). Intricate wood marquetry, nice dark satin finish. I bought this as a B-stock item for $175.00 of ebay. This model normally seels for $350.00 and up. Came with a Washburn gig bag, as far as gig bags go it's a very nice one. Mine has some fret buzz, haven't gotten around to setting it up perfect just yet but see no problem getting the buzz out. I believe this is the reason it was a second as visuallly and from a build stand point I can't find a single thing wrong with it. Ok, on to the sound, this guitar sounds GREAT, very balanced with shimmering highs and just enough bass and mids to sound perfect, and with the stock strings no less! The action may be a tad low, but this thing plays like a dream.
Nothing
Excellent all around
For $175.00 bucks a little fret buzz doesn't bother me at all, it can be fixed. Great sound, Great build quality, all solid wood and as easy top play as any acoustic guitar I've ever picked up. It's well worth the $350.00 they sell for new.
