I would look closely at the blemish but otherwise this is a pretty good guitar for the price. This sells new for $479. It has a spruce top, rosewood neck and sides, with mahogany neck. All in all a fine guitar.
For that much money i would throw in an extra fifty or sixty bucks and get something nicer. Maybe a nice used one. I have a Big Baby Taylor i think i paid $450 for it and it is a really nice guitar for the price.
I got a wasburn as my first guitar and it was great. I bought mine for $50 bucks at a pawn shop. I find the action to be much heavier than other acoustics. Difficult to play as a beginner, but nothing gets your hands stronger over time if you learn on it!
I play guitar almost every day. I have played the Washburn. They have a good sound BUT the action is heavy. If you have to play for 2 or 3 hours you will NOT like it. For a few dollars more you can get a Taylor or Ephiphone, both good easy action and good tone.
Is this new or used ? Hey if you like it why not, a lot of people I know that play like the Washburn, but I’m not sure if it’s the same, I’m not familiar with those letters and numbers that follow the Washburn name, I can’t imagine a beginner playing this guitar if it’s like the one I played, your fingers are going to fall off. !!!! I like the Yamaha acoustic electric cutaway better, it’s $250.00 brand new. and even less on sale, the Guitar Center is very good at reducing the price if you ask. Do you play or are you going to learn ? Try out that Yamaha and see what you think, they also come without the electric. I’m not familiar with the numbers that follow the name of this guitar, check around and see what others think. I bought the Yamaha recently, I play classical guitar, and when I went to buy a new classical I spotted this one and started to fool with it and liked it, so I bought it, some of my students liked it so much that they now want one !!! If you have three fifty to spend why not try out other guitars just to make sure that this is the one for you.

My husband got one for his birthday. He’s been playing the guitar since he was 13. He says it’s the best sounding acoustic he’s heard.

For $350, you can also look at Seagull- Made in Canada, their S6 is a great guitar- and you don’t even have to buy B-stock!
