Washburn Classical Series Acoustic Electric Cutaway Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not a professional guitar player and never will be. Still, when I play, I want to sound as good as I can. I also want the option to be able to play as many types and styles of music as the mood may strike, so a nylon-stringed "classical" guitar is the best of all worlds for me. Add the desire to be able to plug in an amp along with working on a limited budget, and the field of instruments narrows quickly.

I couldn't be happier that my choice was the Washburn C64SCE. What a gorgeous, well-made guitar! After only a month, the guitar has opened up wonderfully, with a rich, clear tone. String action was nearly perfect out of the box. Tuning is remarkably precise, and it stays in tune better and longer than any other guitar I've owned. It's incredibly easy to be expressive on this guitar as it has a terrific volume range; no amp necessary.

This is the less-expensive brother of the C104SCE, which has a cedar top (instead of spruce) and rosewood back and sides (instead of the ovankol of the C64). Even though the woods of the C64 are less costly, the sound is amazing. The sustain is comparable to rosewood, but I think it projects even better with nice treble.

The electronics work well, and having a chromatic tuner built-in is a plus. The guitar is hefty and seems very solidly constructed. Fit and finish are better than I would've expected at the price point.
The hard case is sold separately. My research shows the proper case is the Washburn GC77, which has been sold out for several months but is available on back order through several of Amazon's partner sites.
