Washburn D34SCE 2006 Blonde/maple

About 5 or 6 years ago I researched a cutaway acoustic electric guitar to keep at my vacation home, which I visit maybe 10 times per year, usually a weekend here and there. I wanted to spend $500 or less, wanted a quality instrument, that could be plugged in if I wanted, and a nice hard-sided case to keep it in. My research brought me to the Washburn Augusta series, a gorgeous maple backed and sided instrument that has amazing tone and clarity, and is beautiful to look at. This guitar retailed for over $1,000, and I was able to meet my budget by finding a good deal. Since new, it has hardly been played, has been faithfully stored in its original case, and has been humidified as the seasons have changed here in the midwest. This is your opportunity to pick up a used electric cutaway for a very cheap price that I would put against any $1,000 guitar on the market. Plus, this one is appointed beyond belief; gorgeous maple woods, very nice solid spruce top, check out the inlays on the headstock(!), Grover tuners (!) and the fit and finish is just superb. The tone is bright and clear, and again, rivals any guitar made, in my opinion, in the $1,000 price range. The electrics are also top-notch and work flawlessly. I have thought about selling it for a long time, as I have too many guitars, but keep changing my mind. If I take the listing off it is because of seller's remorse.
