All user reviews for the Washburn RO10

Nothing to add on what has been said before, if not a solid table, and a nice round to play.
The case seemed bulky compared to the guitar, but, to use, it is top. Volume prevents thermal shock, and I do not hesitate too much to leave it in the car.

UTILIZATION

The ergonomic ... This is the point that surprises and failed at first:
The handle is heavy compared to the checkout. The small volume of the box requires a little searching to find a fulcrum for the forearm comfortable. Few days of practice are needed to make its mark, but then all is well.
I play this guitar standing with a strap, position power, if not sitting, without webbing, but placed on the left thigh.

Great point, is able to carry around and play anywhere and safely.
Beach, boat, car, hotel room ... In addition, it awakens the sympaties: "what's your trick?"

SOUNDS

The volume rout a little at first. Of course, very little bass, a rather "banjo", but sounds interesting and open to other music than I usually practice on my "real" guitars.
This guitar has a good sustain and a pretty little voice, but the difficulty is that the guitarist does not hear. Let me explain: on a normal sized guitar, the volume is sufficient for the guitar well enough perceive the actual sound of his instrument. The projection of the Rover being more timid, and therefore, the less successful in its instrumentalist, then it is good for the listener. Try playing against a wall, and you will see that the reverberant sound is much richer than first perceived.
Another interesting point is the guitar volume is low, it naturally tends to adjust the volume of song, which is consistent in use hotel room.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for a few months and I am very happy with this purchase.
It does not replace another guitar, but highly complementary ones I usually play. She is always at hand, and that's what grabs her I instinctively whenever the mood takes me a little scratch.

A positive point. My guitar is a Takamine top TAN46C. After playing the Rover, I rediscover the fun and magnitude of this guitar sound. It multiplies the pleasure and it is not the goal of the game?

I bought this travel guitar at Sam Ash in Miami, Florida for $150.00

This little guitar rocks! It is small enough to take anywhere, yet has a full size neck. Just perfect. The sound out of this little guitar is amazing. The craftmanship is very good, especially for the price. And the most amazing thing is the case! It looks like the case alone should be worth $150.00!

The only downside of this guitar is that the body tends to slip and slide a bit. If it where slightly fuller it would help. But it comes with a strap which helps. If you are used to a full size guitar, it will definitley take some getting used to the feel. But this is true for any travel guitar, and this one is by far the best of all I tried (Martin Backpacker, Littel Martin, Baby Taylor) considering the sound, quality and price.

The top is solid spruce, the sides and back are laminated mahogany, with binding which gives it a top quality appearance. It is set up with extra light Vinci strings. The quality is unbelievable, especially for the price!

Bottom line is I highly reccomend this guitar for anyone looking for a travel guitar, who wants it to also sound decent.

I bought this little awesome pack of punch at www.zzounds.com(great place). I've been looking at it for quite some time now and decided its worth it. I got it for 149.99$ but it totalled to 168$ which isn't bad at all for shipping to alaska(which is where i live).

It is made by the best, washburn prides themselves in the best acoustic sound. The martin, had one problem to it. It sounded more like a banjo with a tangy sound to it which isn't the best for chording or softpicking. The washburn rover has fixed that, when you play a chord it blends the string alot better. It doesn't slide like the Martin does when on your lap.

The strings it came with are Vinci which are really weak and stretch easy and are hard to do some licks with. It also came with a buzz on the neck but I got rid of it by adjusting the neck, which is pretty standard on shipped guitars.

It's nice and small yet it keeps the neck's regular size so you don't lose your playing in the lesser(smaller) frets. I know dean makes a mini guitar that the frets are shrunk as well as the body and its killer on you fingers. Slim body with a beautiful natural finish by the amazing luthiers at washburn. Button on one side of it for strap. Strong bracing and strong tuning machines.

I have played with the backpacker, trailblazer and the Mini Dean. Yet, the washburn rover rises up above all past travelers and defeat the wicked sound that these other produce.

I acquired the guitar by accident when buying strings for another flat-top, when in Matt's Music in London Canada, I picked up the guitar for just over $200 CDN.

The guitar is extremely playable. The neck is very comfortable and the action is enjoyable. It is a very nice guitar to "noodle" on. It tucks into any corner, and will quite literally go anywhere! Everyone who picks it up, comments on the way it feels. It almost begs you to play it! For the size of the instrument the sound is amazing.

The plastic strap button on the back of the body.

The construction and quality of the guitar are top notch for the price of the guitar!
It is an amazing value for the money!!!!

I have six guitars in total, this one being my second Washburn. They have not dissappointed me yet!

This is a guitar (yes, I swear) with a small acoustic body with a table and a massive round of normal size.
the mechanical manual lubrication.
She does book with a rigid carrying case (very practical), three picks, a method on CD-ROM and a strap.

UTILIZATION

The handle is pleasant trs is the highlight of this guitar, trs right and just.
Access in acute is exemplary.
on the other hand, not easy to find the right position to play: Can not play without sitting strap, but it is pleasant to play trs standing like a electric ...

SOUNDS

The sound is impressive trs FOR SIZE AND PRICE OF THE VEHICLE!
Basically we are trs pleasantly surprised, but I repeat for the size and price!
a lack of well-sr low but sufficient for trs train.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two months.
I also have a big concert Walden, an ovation and a collector 2003 CADIZ admired some lctriques also ...
Sr Although this guitar is the one that sounds the least of four, in fact it is not even comparable.
However it is perfect in his guitar rle travel or for users with limited space and wants to train everywhere.
I do not hesitate to buy it

Acoustic travel, miniature, made in China
caring for a violin trs reasonable sale price (about 170 euros new)
book with a tui semi rigid strap, and a DVD mdiators (Very bad in fact!)

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable, a pleasure to walk on it, it is inspired by the electric guitar necks of the same brand. Access in acute is no problem.
the frets are well polished.
ergonomic issues, for against, is a small problem is that the handle is twice the body weight and must be found consquent position to not only the guitar is dropped or not to be ch ... hold it while playing. the cart weight is really consquent, sitting, it must be wedge between the vertical legs, start must be compensated with the weight of the right hand.
6 because of the weight cart really standard

SOUNDS

I find the sound of that little guitar intrssant trs. obviously it is not trs powerful and sorely lacking in bass
but it has a pretty reasonable and a trs its sweet, as stated in the notice Previous to the price and size of the body is a Russianness. agreements and arpges sound good, the riffs for that matter. trs can serve for the support, provided of course that this is the only instrument!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months.
The +: size, round, `book tui
the -: low weight and dsquilibrbr /> it's still a good option for trs guitar travel.
The report price is good quality, and I do it again this choice

Chinese-made up, rather nicely finished
The assembly is provided tui cohrent and presents good

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite pleasant, but I personally find it too narrow.
The guitar, because of its tiny body is not very good balance.

Lets get it on the knee but is not ideal.
It puts the strap, but it's better to love to play with.

To play without the strap, the left hand will support the handle to avoid it is likely switch.

The handling is very easy .... just out of its tui and scrape!
The sound is not his forte.
We must be aware that this is a guitar for "work".
It's hard to walk this guitar to lead the "campfires" and other evening with family / friends or you want a guitar that fears nothing and no hindrance.

It is really handy, but it does not sound enough.
Whereas it is the guitar as backup, which takes almost no space.
We put it in the trunk floor, to the departure of vacation, and we took the opportunity to Gentier itches on the beach.
sounds reasonable to you.
If you work in mdiator pais (Dugain kind), agreements are open drafts.
Finally, mdiators provided is still the most appropriate (rather flexible) and allow the guitar to sound shockingly gently on the strings.

SOUNDS

Sounds more in the boards, mediums, acute
Some bass, but it makes sense given the volume of the guitar

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 1 week may be just my opinion "hot" is not complete objective?
Anyway, my feelings, following the purchase could not be more rel!

I wanted a guitar very little space for the holidays.
Ct size, it TOP
The guitar has a funny mug and a tui package that permits the lug everywhere.
It's really the ultimate travel guitar, that's for sure.

Ct sound is a little gate.
To work alone, and not nag gently, will not hurt.
The sound thunders a bit but remains correct.
If you have another instrument that you want to support "for fun", will be more pnible.
Ds that you must be a bit "hard" on the guitar, the sound is much less pleasant.
Finally, after this purchase, j'hsite:
1. change strings I find really rotten, and Hoping for a more qualitative
2. possibly the: Mechanical? (The guitar is hard to keep the agreement if it is too sharp or that you'd like to scrape a little louder)

or

Change for a body 3 / 4 type Cort, or more upscale on Taylor / Martin
Guitars .... a bit bulkier and a handle 3 / 4 (Washburn handle the normal size !!)... but its REAL.
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Conclusion</span> (finally mine <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> )

I would say the Rover10 is a guitar that can work, do his lines, is dlier fingers, call in his corner with a footprint trsrduit ..... and then we lug around everywhere.
If cons, you want a guitar that occasionally allow you to accompany the aunt who pushes the song to the family picnic, or JAM boyfriend who wants to sing at the end of tonight ... .
Aim for a guitar 3 / 4 that sounds much better, but making a "small" concession on the size (and budget, a little depending on models).
