I gave this guitar 5 stars not because it's the best guitar out there, but the best guitar for the money. I tried out a lot of guitars before settling on this. I can tell you you will not be disappointed with the sound, especially if you're just starting out, like I am. I spent $100 on this guitar and just love the sound, feel & look of it. Very good construction. The only thing it needs is a set of new strings. NEW STRINGS MADE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. I bought the EXP strings (custom light) and not only did the action improve but the sound as well. The guitar now stays in tune for MUCH longer. Overall, great investment.

Look i bought this guitar thinking i was just going to get a cheap $99 guitar, the thing sounds awesome, and it plays like a champ. Good action, nice tone, all of the frets are clean there isn't any ring of the strings or anything. I'm telling you for 99 bucks your getting a really good deal. Dont be the guy that passes this up!

I got this looking for a beater - but it sounds darn good and plays excellently. If you look closely, you will see that it is an inexpensive guitar, but if you PLAY and HEAR it, you won't think it is.

Bought mine from a company in Wales uk for under sixty pounds including postage,you'll have to work out dollars.
Sounded good,but changed strings to Martin light 11s,which improved sound and helped my fingers...
Will change nut to bone when I get around to it,to replace plastic one.
All in all a good Chinese made guitar to Washburn standards,well worth the money for beginners or your better player...

This guitar is, in scientific terms, ricockulous. i have had this guitar for going on a year and i could not be happier. i have regained my 100 bucks back numerous times in sheer happiness. slap a new set of good strings (i really like the earnie ball earthwood rock and blues strings i have on her right now), and whether your super experianced or youve never touched the strings of a guitar before, you will be overly pleased with this cheap, fantastic guitar. this is an orgasmic deal.

These D100's are great guitars. There are a lot bigger names out there (of course those glue smelling fender/Yamaha cheaper proves that names mean nothing) but Wash is always a better sound. This guitar is not the perfect guitar. It's not a Taylor nor does it want to be (and it isn't $3,000 like one either). This is just a great beginner play. And... it makes a good bass driven blues guitar to boot.

I was at sam ash taking back a bad guitar i got there a week before and i notice this guitar. By the way it is $200.00 there and the only have the ugly black one left but they do price match so i was tempted to buy it. I tried it and it does have a nice sound but the strings should be change to better ones. I was also looking at the big baby taylor which really is a great guitar that makes you sound better even when playing mistakes.

If i did not have the money for the Taylor i would have gotten this washburn in red becasue in red it looks pretty and it is a good guitar for the price. Buy it you wont be dispointed.

perfect guitar for anyone. great sound and not cheap looking at all. You will not be dissapointed.

I've owned many guitars over the years and still do. I bought this guitar for my son in 2008 as a beginner acoustic. He was 15. He has continued to play it, and has added more guitars to his collection, including an electric. The guitar is a little stiff and the frets are a little more difficult to press down than a more expensive guitar, but the tone is surprisingly nice, so it's a bit of a trade off, but worth it. The extra finger strength has served him well. It's also a nice looking guitar. It responds well to slightly lighter strings, perhaps 10's, I've noticed. any way. He is now 18 and getting ready to go off to college. This guitar will travel with him, I'm sure. Soon he will be playing it for some college girl, I imagine. Good times.

I have played the same 99 dollar Washburn D-100 for over Ten years. It has made multiple trips to and From Hawaii with me, it has as many Hawaiian Dings as it has Texas Dings, where I bought it at the now defunct Mars Musica in Dallas. This guitar stays in tune, is very loud, projects well, and plays extremely well for an acoustic guitar in the price range. I have never had issues with construction, humidity, bridge or nut. Everything except the bridge pins are original. I own more expensive acoustics that do not possess the powerful projection this guitar has. Like I said, it's loud, articulate, and it rings beautifully. In Ten years, I have done a 1/8 of a turn on the truss rod to set my neck to my liking. There are no buzzes, noises etc. from the guitar except what I demand of it. Interior construction shows good if plain bracing, very good brace sanding and no wood feathers anywhere. I guess my only knock is the headstock which is a tiny bit out of scale to the body, it's too long, but thats a minor personal observation.

Too bad they stopped making them, they are a great guitar for even the money they were charging for them when discontinued, which I think was about 50 bucks more. It's got 5 ply binding on the front, black binding on neck, and back, and is well constructed throughout. As the guitar has aged, I have watched it darken, and the top is a bit wavy now, but I have played the heck out of this guitar and it's a real trooper, so I expect some movement after all these years. But it's solid, no cracks, no glue separations, Whata ya want for 99 bucks and ten years??? It's a keeper.
