Washburn built the HD10SCE-O-U as part of its Heritage Series, positioning it as a dreadnought cutaway acoustic-electric aimed at players who needed stage-ready amplification alongside traditional dreadnought acoustics. The cutaway body configuration provides access to the uppermost frets, extending the instrument's range beyond what a standard dreadnought allows.
The top is solid Sitka spruce, braced with Washburn's Cathedral Peaked Scalloped-X pattern — a construction approach intended to develop tone over time. Back, sides, and neck are mahogany, with the neck fitted with a two-way truss rod. The fretboard and bridge are Ovangkol, and the nut is Graphtech Nubone at 1-11/16" width. Scale length is 25-5/16". Twenty frets are present, marked with dot inlays. Tuning is handled by chrome diecast tuners. The instrument ships strung with D'Addario EXP light gauge phosphor bronze strings. Electronics consist of an under-saddle transducer feeding a Fishman Presys II 301T preamp, which provides onboard volume, bass, mid, and treble controls, a phase switch for feedback management, and an integrated chromatic tuner. Hardware throughout is chrome. The finish is natural gloss, and the rosette is the Washburn Heritage pattern.
Owners requiring setup adjustments, fret work, or help sourcing compatible replacement parts — including Fishman Presys II components, Graphtech Nubone nuts, or Ovangkol bridge saddles — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier familiar with acoustic-electric instruments.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
