I have been gassing for a new acoustic for some time....don't get me wrong..I love my Parkwood....but remember I came here from the Washburn forum. I have had many lust affairs with different models of Washburn acoustics. First it was the J28SDL Jumbo, I played a couple and they sounded awesome...but in the end it not being solid wood turned me off....I still love the look tho....and this merry go round never stops spinning :-)
I then moved on to the WD18 which was promptly discontinued and I could not get one.
Up next was the WD32SCE....had it in my hands a few times....but I did not want to dip into real money to get it and when I finally had some funny money to spend I went back and it was gone.
During this time I had been emailing back and forth with a very popular online retailer and he let me know he had an old stock D46S still on hand and might be able to make me a deal on it....I hemmed and hawed as I usually do....then after the WD32SCE episode...I went out and I played a D46S in our local Washburn Dealers store....and I was hooked....I came back that night emailed Dave and said I really want this guitar, but I have to wait a few weeks until I rebuild my guitar fund. Take a look at this video it is a demo of the D46S
