## Description

Nylon stringed classical guitars have an ageless appeal regardless of the genre of music you play. Classical players require a larger string spacing to accommodate their precise finger style playing. Combined with the smooth, full tone of nylon strings, These guitars will meet the needs of demanding classical & flamenco players alike. Coincidently, classical guitars have found a home with beginners due to the easy on the fingers feel of the low tension Nylon strings. Regardless of your ability, A Washburn classical guitar will help you reach the loftiest of musical goals. This guitar has a spruce top, catalpa back and sides, and quarter sawn scalloped Sitka spruce bracing; a mahogany neck with 19 frets and mosaic rosette.

Review: 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: okay. 🌸

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

**Q: Can you use steel strings?**
A: I don't think so. This guitar was meant for nylon strings. Steel strings would exert greater stress on the neck than it was designed for. The tuners and bridge could also be damaged. Nice classical guitar, though. 
Hope this helps.

*by R***Y on 15 October 2019*

I wasn't really in the market for a classical guitar when I purchased this. A few nights ago, I received a rejection for a one-act play I'd written. Dejected, I drowned my sorrows in beer then started thinking, "Self, you have electric and acoustic guitars and an electric bass, but not a classical. Go ahead. Treat yourself to one. It'll hoist your spirits." Listening to my inner voice, I started an online research of classical guitars and narrowed it down to a few based on the price and specs I'd wanted (cutaway spruce top, built-in tuner, etc). This Washburn C5CE-A fit the bill so I ordered it. Next day, I tried to cancel my order but Amazon said it was too late - it was already packed and on its way. It actually took three instead of one day to get here, but I'm glad I have it. Everything about this guitar screams class - Nubone nut and bridge, silky smooth high-ratio tuning heads, pristine polyurethane finish, Barcus Berry pickup and tuner, fine fretwork and intonation, etc. Oh, it sounds great, too. It shipped with D-Addario Pro-Arte EJ46 hard tension strings, amp cable and battery. Glad I bought it. Worth every penny.
