Opinions on Washburn D100 acoustic guitar?

[irjason]

I've been thinking it would be nice to get an acoustic guitar to fool around with. I don't want to spend a lot on one. A couple of my friends have Alvarez acoustics and they seem like a pretty decent guitar for the money, but I saw the Washburn D100 is $129 at Musicians Friend.
Anyone ever play one of these? Opinions? Its got a ton of good reviews on there, but I thought I would ask here before I pull the trigger. Thanks in advance.

Anybody?

If you're only fooling around with it, then I wouldn't worry about going all out. This should do. Try searching TB's own Misc. Forum where you'll find tons of threads like these to get better info.

Thanks, I forgot about the Misc section. Doh!

if you wish to spend a little more, you can likely get a GREAT acoustic guitar for around $300 used: Epiphone Masterbilt (yes thats the spelling) series. These are serious STEALS. Made in China but they blow away guitars up to $1500.

My father-in-law got one of these in the wine finish on Father's Day, and it sounds pretty good for the price, imho.

Also, I looked at the link in your OP, and MF has dropped the price to $99.99. Hop on it, bro.

Thanks guys. I actually did order one when I saw they were $99. Those Masterbilts look like nice guitars. Unfortunately they're a little more than I'm able to spend right now.

In case anyone is interested: It just came tonight. In the few minutes I've spent with it so far the D100 seems to be well worth $100!

I have had really good experience with the lowend washburn and ibanez acoustics(AW100). Like mentioned above the epiphone masterbilts are great too, I didnt realize they were that cheap though.

I agree.
