 Just what I was looking for June 22, 2010

The long and short of it:
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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?..."

 love the guitar, not the case February 8, 2010

My son got this guitar for Christmas and loves it. Ih has great sound and it is just the right size to take to parties, the beach, and to school. Unfortunately, the zipper broke on the case the first time he used it. It looked like it zipped, but the zipper pulled apart and the guitar fell on the floor when he picked it up. Amazon issued a full refund, and my son ordered another hoping the zipper problem was an isolated incident. Will let you know how it goes with the second.
