Great to hear NewGuitar. I definitely think the Washburn was the right purchase for you and anyone else in Newy’s position should take note of your enjoyment from it.

Sometimes guitars picked up in store sound a little nicer to begin with because they’ve been setup and tinkered with before sale. That’s unlikely to happen at a warehouse from one of the online stores. It’s a pleasant benefit for new guitarists when they buy at brick and mortar.

Nevertheless, ordering online can save cash and the sound is still going to be the same at the end of the day.
