Washburn Bella Tono Vite S9V - Gloss Charcoal Burst Review

Great guitar

This was my first guitar from Sweetwater and I want to say that the guitar was perfect in everyway. One of the reasons I ordered from them in the first place was their inspection. I was not disappointed. The guitar plays and sounds great. Two minor things about this guitar is one of the wires for the electronics is not secure on the inside, so if I wobble the guitar for effect is… read more sometimes slaps the top. I don't know why it's not secure but I will probable fix this with some painters tape when I change the strings. The second minor complaint is the strings stick a little in the nut when tuning so I have to push down on the string sometimes. This is a beautiful well made guitar. I can't really say much about the electronics except they work because I only have a regular amp and not an acoustic amp. I had to wait a long time for this guitar since I preordered it but it was worth the wait. I've ordered guitars from other big name online sites and I must say this was the first guitar I could play right out of the box with no set up. Thankyou Washburn, and Sweetwater

Best new&cheap acoustic you can get?

It may be. This S9V is well constructed, sounds very nice, and (as is commonly said of many things) looks better in person than the photos give it credit for. Given that this is what is being shipped for the low price tag, it only makes sense that it needs a setup…and golly does it…. The nut was cut almost to the right depth but not wide enough for the strings which means if… read more not addressed you have high action and tuning issues…possibly broken strings. The frets needed leveling though the ends were actually quite good. The bridge is too high, and there are no spacers underneath as it butts directly against the piezo pickup. As such it needs filed. All in all, it is a great guitar, and if you can do the work, it's a bargain. If you can't, ask your sales engineer about setup services before you buy so you can get a finger on what it will actually cost you. Happy strumming….

Just what I would expect from Sweetwater. First time buyer

I purchased a Washburn Bella Tone S9V and the service and time it arrived was impeccable. Even though the Washburn guitar was a Demo it was still given a thorough inspection before it arrived. It was as if were brand new. My faith in this company is number 1. Thanks

Guitar was packaged very well arrived in a timely fashion. amazing condition for not getting the pre delivered inspection. (279.00) 299.00 AND UP RECEIVE INSP. Beautiful woods. sounds great for a lower priced acoustic. fret work could have been better from factory. but string height and set UP was perfect. I WOULD reccomend this guitar for anyone who wants a great looking acoustic… read more with decent sound quality. you get what you pay for. Overall I am very pleased.
