To me, Washburn guitars especially their acoustics, are among the best sounding and best made.

I have a Washburn D10 that I bought years ago for like $200. Today, I have more expensive guitars, but I still play my Washburn all the time. Folks won't believe me, but it sounds awesome, and it's super comfortable to play. ❤

So…..Why DON’T guitarists like Washburn, Sean? 😉

So… why do viewers hate Sean Daniels clickbait video titles ??

My garage guitar is a Washburn D21 from prob late 80s or early 90s. Solid wood, rosewood back and sides. Had to put a tusq saddle in it. Sounds incredible for a used $229 beater. Can’t speak to the new ones but the old ones are great value if the neck is straight

My first guitar was a Washburn. I put it on layaway, and was over the moon when I finally got it. It’s been broken where the neck meets the body 3 times. The first time, I had it professionally repaired. The other two times, I just glued and clamped it myself. It still sounds good.

I have a washburn from the late 1800’s, parlor size with a v-neck really sweet:)

I am still playing my 30 year old Wasburn D-13/S along with all the other acoustic guitars I own. Your video has inspired me to have a pick up installed in my D13/S as I like to do some studio recordings, and I have been using my other electric acoustic/guitars to do studio, while the D13/S sits there...weeping lol. I'm thinking of installing a K&K pickup, which I have on one of my Martin Road Series...love the K&K setup. Congrats on your new axe, she's a beauty for sure....enjoy !!!

Picked up a Washburn vintage series acoustic guitar maybe a year and a half ago. Nice looking, sweet playing and sounds good. Cowboy chords are easy to play which tells me the nut is cut right. And the action is good. Sounds good clean and thru an amp with those elixar strings you recommended. I dont see why anyone wouldnt like Washburn. Mine is one of the cheapest ones they make and its a great guitar.

I love my Washburn! My parents didn’t have much money and I really needed a decent guitar with a pickup to go out and play shows. my first guitar that I learned on a very cheap Johnson just wasn’t going to cut it and my parents were able to get enough money together to get me a Washburn acoustic electric and I loved it, it plays great sounds great and 15 years later I still enjoy playing it.

Just bought my first Washburn. A 2002 George Washburn Festival Series EA-45s. This is by far the most high end guitar I own, and I put that over my Gibson Flying V. Stock Grover 18-1 tuners with the Florentine style cutaway. I can't believe I was able to snag it off Facebook marketplace on the low . Great video and beautiful guitar

One of my first guitars ever was a Washburn. I love the sound of the acoustics 🤷🏻‍♂️

Still playing my dad's 1993 Washburn D12.

This the first video I've seen from you, and being a rabid NBA fan as well as an avid guitar player, you really caught me off guard with the James Harden reference! In the BEST WAY POSSIBLE! Long live The Beard! :'D

Hey, is the top solid spruce? Sounds amazing, and if its not solid it’s even more amazing for the sound your’e getting out of it! I actually love Washburn because you always get more guitar than you pay for. My main acoustic axe right now is the Nuno Bettendorf signature EA20NB. Solid spruce top, rosewood sides and back-laminated, but that solid top is pretty amazing! Put in a Tusq saddle and it sounds pretty high end for the $700ish it was going for!

Sounds good… love the beveled edge, no pick guard tho….love a lesson on playing just triads as cords in major and minor keys

Are they technically built by cort?

Nice looking guitar. How about a lesson on how simple triads can connect the cage shapes. ( like starting an F Major on the 5th fret of the E String instead of the 1st fret of the E String? Thanks for posting.

I'd like to hear a side by side comparison between that guitar and your Martin.

Does anyone know how to determine manufacture date for a Washburn? I have a C-60 classical, serial # 2132.

Sounds great Sean. How are their electric acoustics versus Seagull guitars?

You've just acquired a 'Beauty' ! Well done ! Luv the Tones ! Washburn ? Mine, acoustic only, is a "Goodie"... Has that special 'something' that my others do not and luv all my guitars... 🤠...

I had a nice Washburn grand concert with cutaway that I bought used from wife of the guitarist, who I was in band with, a year after he had died. What a pitty that it broke one day after it fell of on the concrete while I was busking.

My first guitar was a Washburn. I think I got it for $275 new when I was in my teens. I kept it until I got my first "good" guitar when I was in my 40s (Larrivee D-03R). The Washburn served me well. So, Sean, why is it that guitarists don't like Washburn?

I’ve watched you for a while now, I always like your way of getting your ideas across. I have found a guitar on KZfaq that I can’t find any English translation for. It’s a Strinberg SD-301 galaxy series.. I played one in North Carolina and loved it. ($645) but not that much.. Could you check it out and see if you could possibly review it on line… I really love the built in effects which first caught my attention.. thanks for all you do for the player community…

I've played several Washburns that were actually rather good...the problem, as I saw it, was they were overpriced in comparison to guitars that were equally as good. If you aren't buying "name", then you're just buying tone because there will be no resale advantage.

Show how to do the doodle doos.🎉 LOVE Washburns. Recently got a 1990 D-21. Auction guitar that was MINT!😮 Love them!

really pretty Guitar. how doing a practice session and run thru it, sorta like the one you did in NYC. ya know, the one with the borrowed guitar, and we followed the practice for a week? the other Two String Pairs

I love when you play Buried, it's still my favorite song from you

Hey Sean! Nice video and guitar! Here's my suggestion for a lesson or two: melodies...just, all about melodies...also, some minor key stuff, man! Show some love to the minor side! Thanks again!

All kinds of 7ths stuff, ...you know minor7th add11. Or slash chords stuff...I just learned this order of 7th arpeggios by just changing one note:: Major 7th Dominant 7th Minor 7th Minor 7thb5 Diminished bb7th. A lesson on how to use em would be really cool! 😉

I've got 2 Washburn guitars a acoustic festival series,and a hb32 dm

Sean as for a lesson .. I would like to see a bluesy version of Amazing Grace on acoustic .. something instrumental and bluesy using 7ths. Marty Swartz had short video of a great slide player and he featured a simple version sounded great.

I have nothing against Washburn guitars or basses. I've played several with no issues. That one sounds good to me. As far as lesson ideas, anything is good for my magpie brain... I'll watch and learn.

It always makes me sad when someone buys the rights to a venerable old American brand so they can stick the name on imports. I would only buy a Washburn if it were made many decades ago. The closest I have is a Lyon and Healy mandolin. (Lyon and Healy was the original parent brand of Washburn.)

Had a Washburn 12 string with cutaway. Was ok; had a special sound.

He said his was cheap @ 500$ mine was just 100$ the quality feels and sounds great so far

I have an Oscar Schmidt (Washburn) telecaster. It is pretty awesome for $150.

Iv always played either Martin D18 or a Yamaha 840

massive radiohead vibes from the end composition

Yes................. Love Washburn...... Getting a 1990s MG42 next week..... Why not? ........ Hope you are doing well.

Listening to this guitar sound, it is easy to recognize you. 6:55

Back in the 90’s I’d see Washburn guitars in music magazines and wanted to have one. Fast forward to 2023 I still don’t have one.

I don't know about their guitars but I LOVE my Washburn banjo!

I love Washburn, I have 3 of them

I like alot the acoustic guitar.

Why KZfaqrs don’t like clickbait titles.

They're the only brand I play. I have 7.

Ask Nuno Bettencourt that. A guitar brand that doesn't charge you for the name. The best quality-price guitars in the world.

Just saw a video of Strydom guitars yesterday with similar (but more) appointments at one third the price Looks like the same Chinese factories have got these contracts

Why?

So.., why??

Washburn had it’s best time between early 1990s and 2010. Now the company is almost dead. No customer service, no new models and USA production is just the same few Nuno models :(

Some days I don’t like to wash

Um, why don't guitarists like Washburn?

james harden plays grate defense

In the first video I saw of yours I thought the political comment was unwarrented, but after seeing a couple more videos I see it's a gimmick. And funny, dry but funny. I'm on board now. LOL

The Washburn Wonderbar was fun though

Monterey

Gentlemen carry a pocketknife 👍

And it Comes in such a nice expensive cardboard box!

So, why *don't* guitarists like Washburn, DUDE? Geez, didn't even answer your own question.

Hate click bait titles. Never watching this channel again.

Click bait title. You don't answer Jack, and you spend the whole time stroking your ego.

so… that was one fluffy video. seven minutes of…nothing. the only actual detail you provide is the solid sitka spruce top. not a single word in comparison with a competitor, not a word about the neck, back, sides, tuners, bracing, or fret board… fail.

First

sounds harsh and brittle and muted all at the same time.

I bet your first Washburn didn't cost $650.

What percentage of your subscribers actually got that Harden joke?

Washburn his garbage. I worked with Washburn employees at HAMER. You absolutely have no idea what you’re talking about.
