Washburn Classical C64SCE Review

Only One Issue

I received the guitar quickly (as usual for Sweetwater) and left it in the box for 24 hours per instructions. I unpacked it the next day and was tickled to find that it even included the 9-volt battery needed for the tuner and electronics. I unwrapped the battery, inserted it, and was dismayed to see that the tuner did not work. I plugged it into my amp and hardly got any sound.… read more I had never needed to return anything to Sweetwater before and was worried that my luck had run out. In spite of the 55-point inspection Sweetwater did, the electronics did not work. I decided to sleep on it before requesting a return. In the morning I decided to test the brand-new battery that came with the guitar. You guessed it! It was dead. I put in a fresh one and it worked like a charm. This is the 13th guitar in my collection and there is nothing unlucky about it. Sounds great! Plays great! Just one thing; I've been playing guitar for 58 years (since I was 13) and every guitar I own still makes stupid mistakes! Go figure.

My best guitar.

I have five guitars… A Godin multiac grand concert, a Yamaha SLG 200N, a Cordoba C5 CET, a Gibson Les Paul and a Washburn C64SCE-A. The Washburn is the best of all, plugged in or not. The sound is warm and clear the workmanship is flawless. The looks is traditional and perfect and the price is unbelievable. It is my least expensive guitar but the one I like the best. Out of the… read more box, the action was too high. I lowered to 2.7mm on the 12th fret, it is perfect now. Very playable. You don't need to spend thousands on a Taylor or any other brand to have a nice guitar. Washburn C64SCE-A is the best classical guitar I ever played on.

Exactly what I wanted

I needed to upgrade my older classical model S80 (also Washburn) and wanted a cutout classical with a built-in pickupt. Not only did the C64SCE arrive in perfect, playable condition, it sounds great both amplified and without. I've always used piezo pickups, and the electronics on this guitar have great tone control and sound so much better. The on-board tuner is awesome. Sweetwater… read more has displayed excellent pre- and post sales support during this purchase and followed up with a call after a few weeks to ensure my satisfaction. Highly recommended!
