Review: Good guitar for a toy guitar price. - First I want to thank the reviewer Chris, for his 'Great for big hands' review. FYI, Chris, they have XXL nitrile gloves at Har8or Fr3ight... that's what I use too! The 2" nut is a game changer. I'm having to relearn stuff, the chord shapes are the same but the reach is completely different. I can make an A chord with 3 fingers, on a 1 3/4 inch neck it's 2 fingers mashing 3 strings. Short term I have to relearn a little bit, long term I can play everything normally. Thing 2: Nylon strings. These bad boys stretch like MADNESS at first, but the 2nd day is better and within a week they've mostly settled down. The string tension is WAY down compared to steel strings, finger pressure to fret is also way down. More learning; stop mashing the heck out of the strings! The Washburn has the strings tied on in a very nice way, I'll probably get strings made with the ball at the end when I replace these. Yes, I'm slightly intimidated by the fancy string work, I just want to plug 'em in and wind 'em up. Set-up: My friend has a Taylor he paid over 5 G's for, it's really nice, and it came all set up. I don't know of ANY guitar for a couple bills that comes set-up. String height at the nut is quite acceptable, but it's pretty high at the bridge. You are meant to pull the bridge bit and sand down the backside of it to set your string height. (the top side has adjustments made, they actually set the intonation there, keep it in the same orientation!) Or take it to a luthier and have it set up. This is the normal procedure, I'm not taking off a star because it comes in the usual condition. Aesthetics; pretty guitar. Orange, yes, don't know how that's a good idea, but the finish overall is very nice. Frets are a bit sharp, same as on my Gretch. EZ fix, check youtoob and you'll find a hundred videos on how to file frets and sand down the bridge, because it's a very common thing to have to do. Machine heads: classical machine heads are different, look really steam-punk. Put a single drop of oil on each machine head right where the gears mesh, redo annually. I also put a drop of nut grease under each string where they run through the nut... makes tuning a bit smoother. Tuner works a treat, I wish there was a lighting option, but again this is not an expensive unit. And actually you can tune in darkness after you are all set up the first time; Tuning happens with red and green LEDs, you just can't see the note on the LCD without ambient light. I'm still getting used to it. Overall I'm completely happy with the Washburn C5CE, I like the cutaway although I don't actually need it most of the time, it's a good looking guitar and my fingers fit on the fretboard. The sound is good, it has even volume from low E to high E, and you can play at a whisper or pick hard and make some noise. For the money, its hard to see how you can go wrong!
Review: Kind of a turd - So, I'm a pro bassist who also plays some guitar. I was looking fo a guitar I could not worry about too much. Take it camping, to the beach, if the cat used it as a scratching post?...no biggie, etc, etc. I just needed a playable guitar at a cheap price. I chose the Washburn because I've used them in the past to good satisfaction. Out of the box, the appearance was beautiful. Upon playin it, every fret buzzed due to the action being too low. The included allen wrench made this an easy fix (for someone who knows how to professionally set up a guitar). I was shocked and super disappointed that every single fret had jagged edges that protruded into an uncomfortable, unsafe zone ( like bloody fingers zone). To remedy this I had to get my Dremel tool out and grind each one down then smooth it out (about an hour of labor). The sound is decent enough acoustically. Amplified, I'll need a direct box or effects pedal to get a solid live sound ( I won't be using this guitar in pro settings nor did I plan to). The tuner is decent though not super accurate. I was surprised that after cranking the neck so much with the allen wrench the intonation was dang close (close enough fo rock and roll...lol). If you're someone with no musical experience looking to get started out...avoid this guitar. If you are like me with some knowledge and too lazy to return it...maybe it's ok. It is only $204 so the old adage you get what you pay for is true in this case.

**Q: Hello! Is this guitar able to adjust the trust rod?**
A: Yes

**Q: Can you use steel strings?**

Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for big hands!
*by C***Y on June 9, 2024*

I'm a hobbyist/beginner guitar player. I've tried playing on and off for years. I never seemed to get it, unable to keep only individual strings pressed and couldn't seem to locate what string I was on. I had given up multiple times and absolutely dreaded trying to play. And I didn't understand how anyone could pick up a guitar and play chords and songs within a week or two. I finally did some research, noting that I have stupidly big hands (XL gloves are typically too small for me). Found out that the nut width is a measurement that matters for a man like me, which is the width of the neck and determines the spacing of the strings. And this one is 52mm (2 inches). It doesn't sound like much, but if you struggle to have your finger on a string and it's touching at least one other no matter what you try to do, that extra 1/4" or 10mm or so can make all the difference. And it did for me. I now enjoy playing this guitar and look forward to casually strumming tunes. I'm no professional, so can't talk about the quality of sound or craftsmanship or whatever. It all works and sounds great to me! I can say that I'm happy it does include a audio jack, which I like to use to connect to my computer for games and software usage. As someone else pointed out, this is a Barcus-Berry pickup system that it came with (NOT a Washburn one that is shown in pictures). I personally don't care about that, but wanted to point it out if it does for you. I'm very happy with this guitar and highly recommend for any other men who have big hands or thick fingers in general. This might be the change you need to start to actually enjoy playing guitar.
