Washburn Festival EA15 Mini Jumbo Cutaway, Acoustic Electric Guitar, Tobacco Burst

Comes with good string height, good intonation, good built-in tuner. I didn’t have to change anything. It sounds great. Can’t beat the price. I would recommend anyone.

Surprised by the quality, and sound it provides for what they call a low budget guitar. Took a chance on a used but in good condition offering from Amazon. Best 180.00 I spent on a guitar.

I got lucky on this a forklift have went through my box and almost got my guitar really pretty get to our first cutaway I've ever owned I don't know if you plug it in to a nail should your preamp light up the tuner

Loved the sounds

The guitar sounds and looks great but it came damage. Box edges were damaged resulting in fine cracks on finish laminate and in some places it chipped off. Very disappointed with the packaging. It has no foam inserts protecting the guitar.

Overall, I'm pleased with the sound of this guitar. I was looking for something with a brighter tone and something a bit more agile. I seem to play faster on this guitar. However, with those brighter notes, it certainly lets you know when you've messed up. This has helped my technique a lot over my old guitar which was a lot more deep and muddy sounding.There are over a dozen paint defects on the guitar I received. I've owned comparably priced Epiphones with zero damage out of the box. I will probably steer clear of Washburn in the future. Defects include significantly sized bubbles in the clear coat, micro scratches all over the body of the guitar, and blemishes on either side of all of the frets. Looks great from 8 feet away though.Strings that came with the guitar, play exceptionally well. Anyone complaining about them hurting is probably used to electric guitar strings which are usually a much smaller gauge. As far as acoustic strings go, these are the comfiest strings I've played on in a long time. They are very cheap though and leave black dust all over my finger tips.The built in tuner works as it should, even allows you to tune in drop b. Briefly hooked it up to an old amp I had laying around, sounded pretty good for an acoustic.

First off I'll say that for what it costs it's a decent deal. You have to consider that you're getting an electric acoustic with a built in tuner and decent finish for under $300. Mine isn't the one in the picture, it came with the same finish but it has the rounded horn like the EA10 not the sharp horn (as pictured).One of my biggest complaints is that on the back of the guitar there's separation from the back and sides. It's about 2 inches long and runs along the binding. Also .. around the sound hole there is a 1" section that isn't finished, it's just bare wood. The guitar itself has kind of a cheap feel to it, but for what it's worth I'm use to playing $500+ guitars. Sold them off over the years and now I have some down time so I figured I'd get back in to it with an 'entry level' priced acoustic just in case it ends up sitting in a corner.Now the good, it plays better than I expected. The action is low and it's easy to fret bar chords .. even after not playing for 6 years! It has a nice range for a mini-Jumbo and it sounds nice through an amp. The tuner comes in handy and you have additional tonal adjustments such as presence and notch.I would recommend this guitar ... but I would also recommend that you buy it from a local guitar shop where you can inspect what you're getting. Had I seen this in a guitar store I wouldn't have bought it simply for the cosmetic flaws, but I'm also not going to go through the hassle of returning it over minor defects.

I was thinking Parlor Guitar when I went into the shop. Hated all the parlors they had. Just no room on the neck. Stepped up to this size guitar. OMG so easy to play. Cutout almost as low as my (formerly) favorite player, my Casino. Really nice sound for the size -- you know you're giving up a bit of depth and resonance with that size.Setup was a bit off: a buzz I couldn't figure out on the G string 5th fret. I go up front w/ the guitar and ask if I can bargain for a free tech setup. "Not at that price guitar, buddy." He played it for a sec and it was marked in the $300's said it's on sale for $180. Wow. There really is a surplus of guitars now, because people bought so much during the pandemic.So I walked out of there with it. The tuner is nice. The mic itself doesn't sound so great going into my monitor so I'd swap that out if I was playing into an amp. But this is just my patio/house guitar.I didn't like the inlays. Too dim. Put stickers on them and they're visible now. Don't laugh -- I could have put them on a little straighter.I might change the strings but no rush.The frets are dressed not perfect but nothing painful. They are level. The neck was set a bit low so I might have to raise it if I'm gonna hit that G string harder.The nut probably could get slicked up or swapped out, to make tuning less sticky. But my Casino has a stickier nut, TBH and I live with it. I like the bridge "bone". Good height. Clean intonation. No complaint.Just my favorite player. Really comfortable neck and a nice sound. Tunes fast and gosh for the price, take it anywhere.
