I don't know if any of the Washburn refugees are still around, but my son and I went acoustic shopping yesterday. One of my favorite local establishments has a wd10sce that we really liked. It's a dreadnaught with the cutaway for access to the higher frets. It also has a Fishman preamp, pickup, and tuner. I thought it sounded quite remarkable for $300. Obviously it's not a Martin, but it doesn't cost as much either. Some of the lows sounded a bit boomy amplified, but nothing major. The online reviews seem universally positive. I just wondered if any of you had experience with this model or something similar.
