Washburn RO20 Nylon String Rover Travel Guitar - RARE -

WASHBURN RO20 NYLON STRING ROVER TRAVEL GUITAR

 I purchased this a few years ago and it's likely not been played five times since. I had to really search even at that time to find the nylon strung RO20 model. It's seems that the steel string versions are much more common. They are not the same instrument with different strings. The nut is wider, and the guitar is built with geared classical tuners.

This Rover is in absolutely perfect flawless condition and includes all the extras like the Washburn strap, guitar picks and other case candy.

    Review of the Washburn RO-20 "Classical" Travel Guitar

 by ginsig33dr Jan 30, 2011

Reprinted from Musicland Central reviews

 The Washburn RO-20 is a discontinued travel model (nylon string, classical style headstock) imported by U.S. Music Corp. As a professional guitarist, I have owned or played just about every travel model introduced in the last 45 years. The Washburn RO-20, in my opinion, is the best "Classical" style travel guitar ever offered, by any manufacturer.
The RO-20 has a full 24" scale neck, classical style tuners / 3 per side, spruce top, mahogany body and neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. I comes with a fully padded (canvas over semi-rigid foam] travel bag and the guitar and travel bag, together, weigh less than 5 lbs. Intonation ,up the scale, is very good. The instrument stays in tune quite well, no matter how aggressive the playing style.
As with all travel models, the RO-20 is a little light on projection (small body...small sound). If you're use to a full sized acoustic, it will take a little time to adjust your playing style to the RO-20's small body and super light weight.
Want a little more volume from your RO-20? Washburn offers the ROMP { an internal microphone pickup system that installs with no modifications to the guitar.} It works and is very easy to install.
Overall.....a great travel guitar with lots of accessories to choose from.
