 Big Sound From a Little Guitar March 17, 2006

I normally play an Ovation acoustic and was accustomed to that projected sound afforded by the rounded back. As you can Imagine I was somewhat skeptical when I looked at the ROVER. This guitar has EXCELLENT sound that I absolutely did not expect. I compared this guitar to the martin backpacker(btw, I love Martin Guitars) and not only is the sound better but the action is unbelievable. All for under $200.00. This is a great buy especially at this price. I can't put this guitar down!

I have to believe that this guitar is a loss leader for Washburn. The fit and finish are excellent but most importantly the neck setup is the best I have ever seen on a new guitar out-of-the-box at any price. After playing it for one day I had no choice but to take my Martin in for a neck setup to match it, or at least come close -- cost me $600. A travel guitar needs to have an excellent case and this one does. It's made to fit in the overhead but I would have no qualms about shipping this in the belly of the beast. The neck and head stock get very good support in this case. Within hours of receiving this guitar I installed a strap button on the heel, this is essential for holding the guitar and Washburn would do well to make this a standard feature.
Great deal, great travel guitar. March 26, 2007

Come on now.. really. What more could you want for a guitar like this? If you are looking at this, you know what a guitar this size sounds like already; and you want it to take on a plane, take camping, or (like me) use it as a "car guitar". It's NOT for gigging or playing to entertain, it's for personal practice. There is nothing else out there for this price that compares; either in quality, workmanship, or detail. The Martin Backpacker is a great guitar, but the shape makes it impossible to play enjoyably. The only other guitar in this niche that compares is the Baby Taylor, and it's twice the price without being twice the guitar. My only complaint is one that is common to small guitars, the tuners combined with the lack of mass in the body make the headstock heavier, and you have to use your fret hand to support that end more than you do on a full-sized guitar. That is something you will have to live with if you want a compact guitar no matter who makes it, the Taylor is the same way. Buy the Washburn, you won't regret it.
AWESOME GUITAR! October 30, 2006

Before I purchased this little gem I read tons of internet reviews - some good, some bad. But, I figured that Washburn wouldn't make a bad guitar. I was right! I've had quite a few guitars in the last 20 years and never bought one that I hadn't tried out first. The Rover far out played my expectations. This is the best buy on the internet. Great sound, shape, case, and instructional DVD.
A surprising and wonderful little instrument. May 22, 2007

I've played an Ovation for years and love it. Due to personal circumstances it became difficult to continue to play my deep bowl. Over the years I looked at a number of travel and smaller guitars and was disappointed. The Rover is no such disappointment. I absolutely love it! Sure it's no bass boomer, but it certainly has quality and good sound that projects surprisingly well. Once again I am playing and highly recommend this guitar to anyone. Perfect for traveling, an inexpensive beginners guitar and certainly a very enjoyable instrument even to the accomplished player. Don't underestimate the Rover! For the scoffers who say this is no real instrument, go listen to Jake Shimabukuro and hear the reality, "knows no bounds".
