Washburns
Since we have experienced the Washburn invasion, I thought I'd ask our new comers a question. I have been looking for a new acoustic to pick up someday. I would like the sound of a dreadnought, with a deep, throbby low E string, clear and pronounced higher strings, and kind of a scooped out middle tones. Like an EQ set in a dish shape. In Martin land, I consider that the rosewood back and side/spruce guitars as opposed to the Mahogany back and side guitars. Focusing on the sound, rather than necessarily the woods, what does Washburn have that might fit the bill for me?
You could also use this thread to educate me (and anyone else interested) about your favorite Washburn. What is it, how constructed, why you like it. Ok new guys, let us have it!
