Default Washburn BTS24s Bella Tona?

Has anyone had experience or played/owned a Washburn BTS24s Bella Tona guitar?

Looks great, price is great....is it too good to be true?

First I would say that from my experience Washburn makes great electric guitars. I haven't played any of their acoustics but if it follows suite it should be good.

Considering it is a Chinese made guitar with laminate back and sides the price seems about where it should be since for another $115.00 you can get all solid wood from Eastman and Alvarez. But then again they wouldn't have all that awesome inlay.

If it sounds good and you like the looks it could be a good catch.

Default Did I miss something

Have to ask as to how you know its a laminate back and sides its not listed in the description on any site.As I know not all Washburns are listed as solid woods anymore.
As for the guitar well it seems a bit high on the price. Looks real nice.

The Washburn website states it has a solid spruce top but does not indicate the back and sides are solid. If they were I'm sure they would state it.

I’m definitely thinking of pulling the trigger. I do have experience with Washburn guitars and it has been favorable. I must confess I do like some bling on a guitar so this does meet that desire.

If so do it by 2/18. It looks like they put a 15% off valentine's day sale on.
