Washburn’s entry point acoustic guitars the D9 and D9CE continue to receive great press reviews, the latest of which is included this month’s Guitar & Bass Magazine.
The World’s Best Selling Acoustic Guitar, the Washburn D10S earned the distinction with superior craftsmanship, tone and value. Its younger sibling, the D9, exudes the same qualities but also represents remarkable value for money
“Given the modest price tag, you might expect the D9 to be a plain, drab affair. In fact it’s encouragingly well-equipped”.
“Expectations of cheap all-laminate acoustics aren’t high, but the D9 gives a respectable account of itself. Volume and projection aren’t noticeably lacking and the overall balance is actually quite pleasing and the guitar sustains pretty well”.
“The cutaway has a minimal effect on the CE’s unplugged performance, and the sound is nigh-on the same as the D9’s. Fired up, the WT preamp supplies abundant gain, and proves to be versatile thanks to +/- 12db of boost or cut available on each band”.
“Both offer impressive value As well-made, easy-playing beginner or second instruments, they look hard to beat in the budget stakes”.
