“Washburn has a squeezed a price-defying amount of great tone in here…A great first acoustic”.

Just in time for Christmas the Washburn D9 is reviewed in the December Issue of Total Guitar magazine.

This Washburn D9 is perfect for people looking for their first acoustic guitar and budding ‘guitar heroes’ looking to make their step up to the real thing.

“Whether you’re an electric player looking to make the jump to unplugged or a total newbie to the guitar, the D9 is aimed at you. To sweeten the deal, Washburn has included five-ply binding and ebonite machineheads. Those little touches give a feel of class to the guitar, so it doesn’t look or feel as inexpensive as it is.”

“In fact, the D9’s tone can compete with more expensive guitars TG has Rocked & Rated…(it) has a surprisingly balanced sound, so strummers interested in a bit of fingerpicking action should get on fine”.

“Washburn has clearly taken advantage of its 120-year heritage and made a strong effort to win you over with both the firm sound and solid construction of the D9…It does everything you’d hope for…”

“If you want to be a guitar hero, your first step is buying a guitar, and the D9 is a solid choice”.
