Washburn Apprentice Acoustic-Electric Guitar Pack Natural

This guitar is alright, it plays well and has the feel and sound of any other Washburn Acoustic for an affordable price. The electronics are good and I appreciate the built in tuner feature which has become very useful for me as I've played a few shows with it. My only complaints are that the bridge pins are made of plastic and broke very easily when changing strings and the case has zero padding or protection for the guitar. It would've been nice to had been given a bag with padding because this is made of very flimsy polyester and does not protect it from anything. While I suppose you are paying for the guitar and not the most expensive accessories it is convenient having the backpack option, but it's very hard to put it back into the case and I'm always worried about hitting it on accident. Take my advice, and spend a few extra bucks on upgrading the bridge pins and buying a different bag.

This is a cheap-quality guitar that shows it. The bass is okay, but the treble (upper strings) is twangy and not very clear. It has okay base materials, but isn't a great buy. There are other solid spruce tops in this range when on sale; I'd suggest you hold out for those.

I would recommend this to any beginner or intermediate player. The dreadnaught size may be a bit to much for a brand new or smaller player.
