Re: Washburn D17 CES BR

I own a Washburn D17-CE/WR (Wine Red w/Flame Maple top) The MSRP in 92-95 was about $1000.00. I once had a TB (Tabacco)and would love to find another one but, I had to sell it. So, replaced it with the WR in 95 as it was the only one I could find new but is a beautiful instrument in ALL respects. These are AWESOME guitars. I even still have the original color Advertisment Sheet from when I bought the TB Washburn and it shows mutiple models. It shows all three color options.
Anyway, hit me up if ya wanna sell or trade my Ovation.

I installed Solid Ebony end pins and it made quite a difference in tone. I am due for a fret job soon as I have played the Hell of of mine. Still my favorite Acoustic and will never let it go. I would trade my Ovation S778 Elite Special a $1400.00 guitar w/molded Ovation Branded (SKB) Case even though I really love it's tone and playability too, for a back up Washburn D17.
Re: Washburn D17 CES BR
I totally agree, this is one sweet guitar !!! I happened to be working at a Washburn dealer (97') when I bought mine, directly from a factory Rep, I got it very cheap !! But, as best I remember the MSRP was around $1000.00. I love this guitar, and with just a little touch of stereo "chorus", the piezo electronics, the clean sound will make you melt. VERY awesome !!! Everything is book-matched, absolutely beautiful !!! I will never sell this guitar !!!

I have a Washburn D17 DES/BR, bought it in 1993 or 1994. Besides electrics, I've owned 4 different acoustic guitars, played a bunch more friends' acoustics, and I've never liked a guitar better than this one. For one thing, it stays in tune for so long, I can just pick it up and play it if I don't feel like stopping to tune and it sounds great. I can play riffs almost like I do on my telecaster. And the beauty of the wood and design is tops. Glad to hear others love it as much as me. Keep on rockin.
