 Perfect practice/vacation guitar.
By Douglas A. Goodwin
I did a great deal of research into travel guitars, this one has excellent qualities and features at a reasonable price. I was originally looking at the Martin Backpacker but found that it was a bit on the expensive side and did not include the extras that the Washburn Rover came with.Excellent fit and finish. The machines are of decent quality and work well. The full size fretboard is of good quality. The sound is very good. Anyone thinking that this will take the place of their regular acoustic should note that it is a practice/travel guitar and does not "project" sound as fully as a full sized acoustic. The case is an excellent bonus and works well with the provided backpack straps. I was delighted that it came with a strap, picks, an extra bridge w/shims, a truss rod wrench, and a DVD. The DVD is geared toward the novice but includes a neat little program that will allow you to use your computer/laptop as a tuner. When the guitar arrives I would recommend that you: open the case and let it air out for a week or two (strong lacquer smell), and take it to shop that specializes in acoustic instruments and have the action set up (intonation and string height). Also note: The full size neck tends to make the guitar top heavy, not a problem when used with a strap. Also, you may want to have the shop attach a strap peg on the back of the neck where the neck attaches to the body. All in all...a great instrument for the money.Cheers! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
On the go? The perfect little guitar for the traveling musician.
By Maverick Brandless
After making a $40 mistake with some other "travel" guitar I decided to invest more into something I plan to keep for the long run. That's when I came across this beauty. I didn't know much about the brand name when I purchased it but later found that Washburn has been in the business since 1883.When the guitar arrived I was supprised to find that it came with it's own semi-hard nylond case with velvet liner. The srings were prestrung and trimmed propperly. The fretboard was flawless and the body was a work of art. The finish was matt, but it didn't take away from it's quiet dignety when it's not played, even if it's a mini guitar. It needed some tuning so I handed it over to a friend who knew how to tune harmonically and he couldn't stop playing it when he got it the way it should be. It comes with a gig strap, backpack straps for the case, 3 pics, alan key for the neck adjustment, instructional CD, and an extra parts for the bridge.The money I payed for this instrument goes a long way and I'm very happy with it. I can't say enough good things about this guitar. So let's nit pic a little bit. The tuning keys are open geared and the gig srap wraps around the head and there's a strap stud on the butt-end of the guitar. The obvious size makes it a little difficult to possition properly on the body unless your a child, then this would be a perfect fit. Let's remember, this is a travel guitar. This hardly takes away from a perfect traveling companion. If you want a cost effective traveler, this is it. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
 Great travel guitar
By Mary107
Picked this up to take along when we travel. Arrived quickly and was just as advertised. There was an odor coming from the straps so I just removed them and put outside. I've left the case open to help eliminate the odor they left behind. The guitar arrived with D'Addario strings that needed to be tuned up, expected. Like with any new strings you need to tune frequently until they're done stretching. The case is a nice size. The sound is louder than expected. The color is more of a teal than a royal but that okay. Will have a luthier put a peg on the base of the neck so that I can attach a better strap and have him do the fine tuning of the truss rod and any fret work if needed.
