WashburnHeritage Series HG12S Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar Natural

This all-mahogany Washburn guitar is a beautiful instrument! I've been playing it for most of a week now and am extremely pleased with my purchase.First of all, it's very good-looking. The pictures you see online do not do it justice by a long stretch. The finish on the body is high-gloss, which makes for a highly attractive look when paired with the dark wood and the curvy Grand-Auditorium body shape. The neck, fingerboard, and rosette are all very pretty.Secondly, it is SOOO easy to play! I upgraded to this guitar from an old Yamaha F325 dreadnought, which is a solid entry-level guitar (esp. for the cheap price), but it has no comparison to this! The action on this Washburn is low and easy, with light-gauge strings, making it a perfect option for both beginning players and those with more delicate fingers. I am delighted with how much easier it is to lay a barre chord down on this fretboard than on my old one. The GA body is considerably lighter than a dread as well, while still roughly the same size. It's nice and comfortable: makes my Yamaha feel like a tank (not always a bad thing!) The satin finish on the neck is also nice -- it's easier to slide across than a gloss neck.Finally, the sound is excellent. Smooth and clear, full and balanced: not as deep in the bass as a dreadnought, but still plenty of volume, which is good if you're a singer-songwriter like me. The mahogany coupled with the bronze phosphor strings makes for a VERY WARM tone. It is noticeably more smooth and mellow than an average guitar (due to the mahogany and shape), but still very bright when the strings are brand new. It takes a few days of playing for the edge to come off: then it sounds just like it looks -- soft and rich.All in all, an excellent guitar for the money. Beautiful, comfortable, versatile, nice sound -- I would recommend this guitar to just about anybody. It's a pleasure to play!

J ai découvert cette guitare sur facebook via une publicité Washburn en vidéo, je l'ai trouvé très belle et après plusieurs écoute je me suis décidé à l'acheter. Je ne suis pas déçu! Très bon son, je ne m'attendais pas à autant de graves aussi profonds avec un tel volume sonore. Idem pour les cordes aiguës, elles claquent bien avec un bon volume(en même temps quand les cordes sont neuves, c'est plutôt avantageux). J’adore aussi la tète de cette guitare, bonne finition pour le reste, l’arrière du manche est satiné (pour une meilleur glisse) alors que la caisse est davantage vernie. Bref j'ai bien fait de suivre mon instinct!

Buy this guitar as it is a great buy. Sound is excellent and the action is soft.

Great guitar, sounds really good!!

This is my first guitar. It's pretty, sounds nice and stays in tune. The tone wood (in combination with the right strings) gives it a warm sound that I like.
