I'm not a professional guitar player and never will be. Still, when I play, I want to sound as good as I can. I also want the option to be able to play as many types and styles of music as the mood may strike, so a nylon-stringed "classical" guitar is the best of all worlds for me. Add the desire to be able to plug in an amp along with working on a limited budget, and the field of instruments narrows quickly.I couldn't be happier that my choice was the Washburn C64SCE. What a gorgeous, well-made guitar! After only a month, the guitar has opened up wonderfully, with a rich, clear tone. String action was nearly perfect out of the box. Tuning is remarkably precise, and it stays in tune better and longer than any other guitar I've owned. It's incredibly easy to be expressive on this guitar as it has a terrific volume range; no amp necessary.This is the less-expensive brother of the C104SCE, which has a cedar top (instead of spruce) and rosewood back and sides (instead of the ovankol of the C64). Even though the woods of the C64 are less costly, the sound is amazing. The sustain is comparable to rosewood, but I think it projects even better with nice treble.The electronics work well, and having a chromatic tuner built-in is a plus. The guitar is hefty and seems very solidly constructed. Fit and finish are better than I would've expected at the price point.The hard case is sold separately. My research shows the proper case is the Washburn GC77, which has been sold out for several months but is available on back order through several of Amazon's partner sites.

I was in the market for a new "beater" guitar that I wouldn't mind leaving out in the living room all the time and that I wouldn't mind (too much) having my 17-month-old touching/scratching/denting.My criteria were that it had to be under $200, have nylon strings, have a cutaway, and be preferably from a reputable brand. That this guitar also has built-in pick-ups and a built-in tuner was just gravy on the cake.The guitar sounds and plays great. The tuner is sort of "meh" in how it functions. My ONLY real complaint is that the intonation in the upper registers is a little shaky, but I'm hoping that a professional set-up on it might fix the issue.I'll admit that I was a little hesitant because I've never owned a Washburn guitar. BUT I genuinely couldn't find another guitar by any other brand I have experience with (Yamaha, Fender, Ibanez, and Fernandes) that met my criteria.I'm VERY pleased with my selection and would definitely recommend it to beginner and intermediate players.

Been playing this one for a couple of weeks now and have a general feel for it. I've been playing guitars for over 30 years so I have pretty clear expectations for guitar playability. I've done a lot of finger style guitar but never actually using a classical guitar. I'm used to playing high-end guitars, so that undoubtedly factors into my assessment of only 3 stars. That being said, here is what I found.The Washburn seems to be a fairly decent guitar, though not a great one. The 4th string has an annoying buzz that sounds like something loose causing additional vibration resulting in a tonal blur. Suggests less that stellar quality control, as playing it would have revealed the problem to anyone who knows anything about playing a guitar. Yours probably won't have this same problem, as its likely a manufacturing anomally. Not bad enough for me to fix it really. Just an irk.That being said, its a very playable guitar. The neck is wide and flat which is helpful for classical playing. I am personally used to a Martin neck that is thin, which I find works just fine in my finger style playing. But I don't have long fingers, so this might be why its not a big deal to me. I would prefer the action to be lower, but its quite playable as is.The guitar is attractive and has a nice glossy finish. The pickup system is effective, though underpowered compared to the fishman's in my other guitars. I have to turn the gain way up to get the levels right. The tuner is nice being onboard with the push of a button. Seems to work well too.All in all this is a good guitar. No, its not outstanding, but good enough for my experiment. If this is your first guitar you should be very satisfied in getting started with it. It is far better than the ones you'll find in the local department stores. It should make you a very playble guitar and look very nice at the same time.
