Washburn has been around since 1883 and is one of the oldest brands in the industry. We know how to make guitars. The Apprentice line of instruments are distilled down to what a great guitar should be before becoming only a "guitar shaped object." With an Apprentice guitar, you can trust that you play a perfect balance of stability, sound, and cosmetics. A perfect place to start.
