both were made overseas and the quality is surprisingly good.
the F11SC is one of my favorite guitars.

That guitar was just such a great guitar! No problems, built in tuner, good stuff! Don't be afraid of the washburn, embrace the washburn!

Martin are very good guitars and some models are not very expensive.]]> Opinions and Polls Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/washburn/#post-341538 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/washburn/#post-341535 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:09:05 +0000
However, before I lost my memory, I seemed to know that Washburn quietly sold its business, and actually sold the trademark itself. This could allow the quality to slide, rather than be better, nothwithstanding USA Custom Shop electrics, which go on! Yeah, Nuno anyone? :shock: 8)

At one point, I noticed that Washburn and Epiphone came off the same Oriental assembly line with different headstocks and stickers, etc. These were all okay, and could be excellent.

I would recommend the Washburn of your choice in the shop, tested to your liking and preference, if there's one that hits the spot. That IMO is preferable to shipping.

If you want a guitar shipped, I just can not say enough good things about Crafter in that price range. Reason not mentioned before: we haven't talked about that price range? :lol:

This is not off-topic, but if you consider Crafter, and order through shipping, get it before it's cold outside, and... I was given a Crafter 12 string (gave it to daughter, she gave it back :shock: ) last Christmas and I like it so much, that it replaces my 1962 Gibson, which used to be one of my better acoustics. It's in my signature thingy, below.]]> Opinions and Polls Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/washburn/#post-341535 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/washburn/#post-341533 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:01:14 +0000
I can't speak for the acoustics, but I have a Washburn ES335 clone - excellent guitar, well finished and easy to play.]]> Opinions and Polls greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/washburn/#post-341533 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/washburn/#post-341492 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:26:54 +0000 Opinions and Polls Elecktrablue https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/washburn/#post-341492 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/washburn/#post-37555 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 04:43:45 +0000 After talking to some of you here and the woman at C.F.Martin I'm now kind of afraid somthing could happen.

what's a good acoustic that I won't worry about too terribly much if something happens in transit from location to location?
