Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
It is very well made, stays in tune quite well, and certainly lives up to the fine Washburn name.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Only had it for a year, and I treat it with the same respect I treat my LP, Strat, and Ovation, so it's holding up very well thus far.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
If you play guitar, you either have one of these or don't realize you need one. I reach for mine far more often than any of my other four guitars. The case also makes this a worthwhile purchase, allowing for easy and confident portability. Once you have one you'll never want to be without one again!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
While it's obviously neck-heavy, that's not an issue when playing. It is so convenient when you want to play along with a commercial jingle or something and need your guitar RIGHT NOW. Some intonation issues playing chords higher up the neck, but it has a truss rod.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?

Impressive.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Better than anticipated.

General
Your general opinion of this product.
This guitar is a fantastic value for the price. Very good build, nice finish and an overall attractive look.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
This guitar feels very light, but is somewhat off balance because of the small body size. I quickly became accustomed to this characteristic.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The RO10 has an overall pleasant tone.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
The flat finish is interesting and very well done. I have no complaints here.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
What a surprise! The setup right out of the box was very good. I felt no need to tweak it.
