We were hesitant to embrace a Chinese-made instrument only because we know that the reputation for such instruments is a bit spotty. The D10S is also one of only two guitars we’ve reviewed that was made in China. That’s often the case with “cheap” guitars, though. It’s also tough as nails and is resistant to temperature change and humidity far better than other high-end guitars. It really does play like a $2,000 guitar.

The best thing about the D10S is its playability. However, this $300 guitar does sound pretty darn incredible, especially for the price.

The D10S doesn’t have the same rich, full sound as the higher-end Takamines or Taylors we review. Somewhere along the way, though, this “beater” guitar became one of our personal favorites, probably because we played ours so much. At least, we viewed it originally as a beater guitar. We primarily use it as what some people would call a “beater guitar.” That is, we don’t keep it in the case, we don’t worry if the dogs lick it, or if somebody’s kids bang on it. That’s because we leave the D10S lying around and use it to practice scale patterns, new chord voicings, warm-up techniques, etc. Honestly, on a day-to-day basis, we play the Washburn D10S more than any of them. We review numerous high-end guitars from numerous manufacturers, so we have a good deal of experience with a broad range of instruments. New models also include the Buzz Feiten Tuning System. The tuners are Grover-style encased in chrome, and the guitar features a multi-lam top binding, neck binding, and diamond inlaid marquetry rosette. Our review model featured the gloss black finish with a black pickguard. The neck is mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. The D10S features a solid spruce top with mahogany sides and back. After playing one, it’s easy to see why that could easily be true. Given all the options that guitar players have these days, that’s quite a claim.

Washburn claims that their D10 series is the best-selling acoustic guitar in the world. The Fishman® 501T Presys+ is an integrated tuner/preamp system for versatile amplified tonal shaping.The Washburn D10S’s solid sound, great playability, and affordable price make it a “no-brainer” purchase. The G66SCE Spalt Maple is a fantastic sounding acoustic guitar in its own right but the addition of premium Fishman electronics makes for an outstanding stage performance guitar. The Washburn Parquet style rosette is made of alternating maple and mahogany. The headstock features a mother-of-pearl Washburn logo and 18:1 ratio tuners. A maple/mahogany/maple strip splits the book matched Spalted Maple back as well. The satin finished mahogany neck has an Ovangkol fingerboard devoid of inlays and in tandem with the mahogany bound Ovangkol bridge adds an aura of understated elegance.

The guitar features a solid Western Red Cedar top and Spalted Maple back and sides, mahogany/maple bound body and head stock. A highlight of the Comfort Series is the deluxe re-curve style ergonomic armrest bevel at the lower bout which becomes part of the mahogany top binding. The G66SCE Spalt Maple is a Grand Auditorium style acoustic/electric guitar with a Venetian cutaway for superior upper fret access.

With their armrests, these guitars hug the body rather than digging into it and provide a comfortable playing experience whether you’re sitting or standing. Washburn’s Comfort Series combine looks and ergonomics to deliver the ultimate player-friendly guitars.
