“These two Washburn’s take over the D10S’s entry-level baton and hare away with it”.

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 at just £149 RRP inc VAT.  A cutaway-electro model, the D9CE, is also available at £184 RRP inc VAT.

 “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, the case-inclusive D9CE stonkingly so.  As well-made, easy-playing beginner or second instruments, they look hard to beat in the budget stakes”.
