| Quality:
| The frets were a bit sharp on the edges but that was easily fixed. That's really the only complaint I had about this guitar. No dead spots in the fretboard, tuning machines are holding tune very well.. just that slight curve at the bridge to keep an eye on. |
| Sound:
| Laminated top and sides; very bright sound, nicely clear. Not a whole lot of bassy warmth but it has a decent range of tone, very pleasing to the ears. |
| Reliability:
| I've owned it for about a week, so... we'll see. Tension of the strings (standard tuning) is causing a slight curve above and below the bridge, viewable when looking in the gloss at an angle. Haven't looked at the bracing (or lack thereof) but if it fails anywhere, it'll probably be there. |
| Overall:
| I've not owned many Washburns and have usually steered clear of most used. That might change after seeing this D11 up close and trying it out. It's fast becoming a favorite. |
| Playability and Feel:
| The neck is pleasantly thin, doesn't feel like a thick plank of wood. |
| Tone:
| As mentioned before it's got a good, bright sound across the range, not boxy like most inexpensive acoustic guitars. Sounds surprisingly good for being a laminate. |
| Finish:
| The wood is absolutely gorgeous. It's too bad they've discontinued the D11s... they really are nice grain. |
| Action:
| The action was surprisingly low compared to most entry-level acoustic guitars I've seen. Very easy to play. |

| Quality:
| Quality is very good. I've looked around at shops and this guitar feels as solid as many that are 3 or 4 times the price. |
| Reliability:
| I haven't had it very long, but I don't think reliability will be an issue. |
| Overall:
| Awesome finish, great sound and action, excellent value. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Plays great, I'm still a beginner but I'm having no problems learning and playing on this guitar. |
| Tone:
| Sounds just as good as the expensive guitars my friends have. I have gotten compliments from others. |
| Finish:
| VERY nice, looks even better in person. These pics just don't do it justice. |
| Action:
| Very good, even the guy at the music store told me he loved the action on this guitar and they have a showroom full of $1k guitars. |
