GUEST,AR282 Instruments: Your best cheap one (29) RE: Instruments: Your best cheap one 13 May 06


I bought a Dean Playmate just before Christmas. Made in China. It retailed for $185 but plays and sounds quite good. It has lacquer damage on the bout so the guy sold it to me for $110. He threw in a nice hardshell case for $75, so I got the whole thing for $185.

I just bought a Washburn also from China. A D-10, it says. Nothing special about it--ordinary 6-string acoustic with no electronix or cutaway but has a nice really dark sunburst finish with a neat little rosette around the hole that kind of looks like something by M. C. Escher. Bright, steely tone (the other Washburns there were a bit clunky and subdued). No damage. Handles nice. With a hardshell case, I got it for under $350.
