Washburn WD250SWCE All Solid Wood Dreadnought Acoustic Electric Guitar
Guitars made with all solid woods (top, back & sides) are the most desirable of all acoustic guitars. The tone tends to be richer, clearer and louder with more sustain. Until recently, owning an all solid wood acoustic was only a dream for many an aspiring picker. With their elegantly crafted Rosewood fretboards and bridges, Abalone rosette and Mahogany binding, the Timber Ridge Series provides the finest Washburn acoustic tone while keeping your bank account intact. With solid tops of Sitka or Englemann Spruce and Cedar and body woods of Mahogany, Rosewood or Ovankol, the Timber Ridge Series offers a wide range of tones for all styles.

Retail prices seem high for guitars made in China but looks like they were selling for $749 and $799 after the store discount. I contacted the store and received a response from Jason who I believe is the owner that he purchased a group of each model on closeout from Washburn. I asked him a few questions about rosewood vs mahogany and he said he has one of the rosewood ones so after listening to some youtube vids, I also chose the rosewood. Decent price for all solid wood top and body and Washburn has a better reputation in the acoustic world than Fender so I chose the Washburn. Got shipping and tracking ingo same day I placed ordered, I placed order around 10am EST.
I used code savenow for 5% off, I was not charged sales tax. Shipping was free.
My WD250 order came to $380 after promo/coupon code.
I ordered a Washburn dreadnaught case from Guitar center for $79 less 15% with coupon Jan15 plus tax, free shipping and I ordered a Hercules GS414SB Plus stand for $49.99 less 25% coupon jan25 plus tax, free shipping also from Guitar Center.
Marked as online only, not sure if there is a physical store in IN or not. First time I have ordered from this company, so far so good.
