    • Kind of a turd
So, I'm a pro bassist who also plays some guitar. I was looking fo a guitar I could not worry about too much. Take it camping, to the beach, if the cat used it as a scratching post?...no biggie, etc, etc. I just needed a playable guitar at a cheap price. I chose the Washburn because I've used them in the past to good satisfaction. Out of the box, the appearance was beautiful. Upon playin it, every fret buzzed due to the action being too low. The included allen wrench made this an easy fix (for someone who knows how to professionally set up a guitar). I was shocked and super disappointed that every single fret had jagged edges that protruded into an uncomfortable, unsafe zone ( like bloody fingers zone). To remedy this I had to get my Dremel tool out and grind each one down then smooth it out (about an hour of labor). The sound is decent enough acoustically. Amplified, I'll need a direct box or effects pedal to get a solid live sound ( I won't be using this guitar in pro settings nor did I plan to). The tuner is decent though not super accurate. I was surprised that after cranking the neck so much with the allen wrench the intonation was dang close (close enough fo rock and roll...lol). If you're someone with no musical experience looking to get started out...avoid this guitar. If you are like me with some knowledge and too lazy to return it...maybe it's ok. It is only $204 so the old adage you get what you pay for is true in this case. ... show more

    • Easy to play sounds good
Only problem is strings are little high. For the price I’m happy to set string high. Nice finish and feel. Plays and sounds great. The pre amp is a off name but works good

    • Everything About This Guitar Screams Class.
I wasn't really in the market for a classical guitar when I purchased this. A few nights ago, I received a rejection for a one-act play I'd written. Dejected, I drowned my sorrows in beer then started thinking, "Self, you have electric and acoustic guitars and an electric bass, but not a classical. Go ahead. Treat yourself to one. It'll hoist your spirits." Listening to my inner voice, I started an online research of classical guitars and narrowed it down to a few based on the price and specs I'd wanted (cutaway spruce top, built-in tuner, etc). This Washburn C5CE-A fit the bill so I ordered it. Next day, I tried to cancel my order but Amazon said it was too late - it was already packed and on its way. It actually took three instead of one day to get here, but I'm glad I have it. Everything about this guitar screams class - Nubone nut and bridge, silky smooth high-ratio tuning heads, pristine polyurethane finish, Barcus Berry pickup and tuner, fine fretwork and intonation, etc. Oh, it sounds great, too. It shipped with D-Addario Pro-Arte EJ46 hard tension strings, amp cable and battery. Glad I bought it. Worth every penny. ... show more

    • Better than expected
I have played classic guitar for over 25 yrs and current own two classic Guitar from Cordoba which are much more expensive. Buying a lower cost guitar I wasn't expecting quality but this guitar exceeded my expectations. Could not find any issues with the finish. I love the color too. It is built pretty good and amazingly the intonation is almost perfect. It come with a connecting cable for amplifier, what a convenience. it has adjustable truss and even comes with a wretch for it, very thoughtful. It just like any other nylon string classic guitar, I had to re-tune a few time before it stayed in tone which is pretty normal. The electric party is satisfactory as well. pleasantly surprised ! ... show more

    • My guitar came with a different pickup system
Review Image by Wayne Wayne
It shows in the pictures that it comes with a Washburn pickup system. But my brand new guitar came with a Barcus berry pickup system. Seems to be ok, but I wanted the Washburn logo on the side. I'm a little disappointed. Other than that the guitar is great

    • As a buyer, I didn't like this guitar.
I have played over 55 years. This guitar would not stay in tune and I made knowledgeable efforts.
