Epiphone's best selling acoustic.
Mahogany body with Select Spruce top.
Rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays.
Body Tonewoods The top of the DR-100 is made from select spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from mahogany, giving the DR-100 balanced expression, warm bass, and excellent projection.
Rosewood Fingerboard with Dot Inlays The fingerboard of the DR-100 is constructed from rosewood. The resilience of this durable wood makes the fingerboard extremely balanced and stable, and gives each chord and note clarity and bite.
Angled Headstock Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.

Awesome guitar guys. The finish is beautiful and after a little tuning I had it sounding just like I thought it would. There were other reviews saying it doesn't stay in tune and the fret wires were cut too long, but I haven't experienced either one of these. Seriously, if you're a beginner guitarest and want a clean looking good sounding guitar while staying low in price... look no further than this.

After speaking with several musicians and doing more research on this than I've ever done before, I have to say you can't go wrong with this little black beauty.

Last December, I wanted to learn how to play guitar. My parents got me this guitar for Christmas, and then it all started. A very nice-looking guitar. Very sleek, and it is nice and large.
I have now had this guitar for 10 months, and 40+ songs learned later, I can tell you it is an amazing guitar. I have not had one single problem with it. It has a very nice sound too it, and it is a great beginner guitar.
The only real downside is it gets dirty easily, but what else can you expect from a black guitar? I recommend Dunlop 65 polish. Makes it look brand new!
It is a great guitar for adult beginners. Do not buy this guitar for young children, because it is very big. For me, being a 16 year old, it is perfectly sized. Highly recommended!

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've played Washburn's since I started and currently own 4 of them so was pretty comfortable ordering this without playing it first. It's a very playable guitar that took virtually no set up (minor truss rod adjustment) with nice action. The tone gets a little getting used to - a bit like a ukelele from the player position but when someone across from me was playing it I was surprised over the projection and better than anticipated richness (given it's size). Better than the Martin backpacker in that it's a more conventional shape and easier to play - and, I think, sounds fuller. Great travel case - it would take a lot to do some damage - and nice accessory package. Came very close to giving it 5 stars - particularly for the price. Don't think you could do better.

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.
