Washburn built the HD10SCETB-O-U as part of its Heritage Series, positioning it as a dreadnought cutaway acoustic-electric suited to players who need access to the upper register without sacrificing the full-bodied projection the dreadnought platform provides. The cutaway body configuration and onboard Fishman Presys II 301T preamp system made it a practical choice for stage use within the Heritage lineup.
The top is solid Sitka spruce braced with Washburn's Cathedral Peaked Scalloped-X pattern. Back, sides, and neck are mahogany, with the neck finished in satin and fitted with a two-way truss rod. The fretboard and bridge are Ovangkol, dressed with dot inlays across 20 frets. Nut material is GraphTech Nubone at a 1‑11/16" width, and the scale runs 25‑5/16". Tuners are chrome diecast. Electronics consist of an under-saddle transducer feeding the Fishman Presys II 301T, which provides volume, bass, mid, and treble controls alongside a phase switch for feedback management and an onboard tuner. The rosette is the Washburn Heritage pattern, hardware throughout is chrome, and the body carries a gloss Tobacco Burst finish. Strings were factory-fitted with D'Addario EXP light-gauge phosphor bronze.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — saddles, nuts, tuner buttons, or preamp components — should verify measurements against their specific instrument; a qualified luthier or guitar technician can confirm fit and handle setup adjustments.
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.
