Condition: Very Good
Ownership: Sole Owner (Purchased new)
Upgrades: Upgraded to high-quality bone nut, bridge/saddle, and bridge pins (huge tonal upgrade over the stock plastic parts!).
Includes: Guitar and Hard Shell Case.

Up for sale is my Washburn D-25S acoustic guitar. I am the original and sole owner of this instrument, and it has been lovingly cared for in a climate-controlled, smoke-free home environment for years.

Often referred to online as the "poor-man's Martin" (specifically, the D-28), the D-25S is highly regarded for its rich tone and fantastic projection, but I took this one a step further. I upgraded the original cheap plastic (which I will include in the purchase) nut, bridge saddle, and bridge pins to actual bone. This modification significantly increased the sustain, brightened up the high end, and made the guitar far more resonant than a factory-stock model.

Key Features:

  • Premium Solid Top: Provides a rich, mature acoustic voice that only gets better with age.
  • Dreadnought Body Shape: Excellent natural projection and deep, full low-end response.
  • The "Bone" Upgrade: Real bone fittings provide superior energy transfer from the strings to the top wood compared to synthetic plastic.
  • Sole Owner History: You won't have to worry about a history of neglect, bad storage, or passing through a dozen hands.

Item State:
This guitar plays wonderfully and sounds massive. Cosmetically, it is in great shape for its age but does show a couple of small, minor scuffs on the top and the side from standard play over the years. These are purely cosmetic and do not affect the structural integrity or tone of the wood at all. There are no cracks or lifting bridges.

Shipping & Returns:

  • Packaged with extreme care using heavy-duty guitar boxes and extensive padding.
