Overview
Plugging into an amp or PA is ready out of the box with this Washburn dreadnought, thanks to a Barcus Berry preamp with a built-in tuner and four band tone controls. A cutaway opens access to the upper frets, and the kit adds a bag, stand, tuner and online lessons.
A complete plug and play package is why to buy it, covering everything a new player needs plus stage ready electronics. The linden top and ABS nut and saddle are budget materials that limit tone compared with higher grade guitars.
Who it's for
New players, campfire strummers and those starting to play open mics will use the electronics and accessories. Players chasing refined acoustic tone should look at guitars with higher grade tops.
Pros and cons
- Preamp with built-in tuner
- Four band tone shaping
- Cutaway for upper fret access
- Full starter accessory kit
- Linden top limits tone
- ABS nut and saddle
- Heavy kit to carry
Performance notes
Plugged in sound depends on the preamp, whose bass, middle, treble and presence controls shape the tone for the room. Unplugged, the dreadnought body gives a full, bass heavy voice. Chrome die-cast tuners hold pitch while you play.
