Washburn acoustic guitar models10/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Overall, the Washburn WD32S is a really beautiful looking guitar. Around the sound hole is a decal with a woven pattern on it. The headstock is fairly simple and has a simple “W” and “Washburn” logo. Over the years, the oil from my hands “refinished” the guitar’s satin neck, and gave it a glossier sheen. It comes with a satin finish which adds to the natural appearance of the wood. The compensated saddle does an OK job of keeping the guitar intonated. What’s really nice about this guitar is the neck is super thin! Many people pick this guitar up, start playing and say, “Wow this feels really nice!” Combined with the 1.7” nut, this guitar feels very fast. The neck has 20 frets, and like most dreadnoughts, the neck meets the body at the 14th fret. The fingerboard comes with pearl slash inlays, which I think is a really nice look. ![]() Washburn’s 2005 catalog notes the fingerboard as ebony, but it looks closer to rosewood to me. It has a multi-lam binding and mahogany neck. Washburn constructed the WD32S with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides. For this post, I will focus on the Washburn WD32S because it is the guitar I have the most experience with. Other models include the WD32SW and the WD32SCE. I found a few variations of this guitar in my research. If you can find a used one, I would not pay more than $200 for one in pristine condition. When the Washburn WD32S’s were new, I think they retailed around $300 to $350. Received as a Christmas gift when I was 13 or 14 years old, this guitar still serves me well to this day. Fun fact, this is the first guitar I ever owned. The Washburn WD32S is an excellent budget guitar. A great budget guitar for beginners…if you can find one! ![]()
