Description

Washburn built the HD10SLH-O-U as the left-handed variant of the D10S dreadnought within its Heritage Series acoustic line. The model occupied an entry-to-mid point in the Heritage range, sharing its core construction with the right-handed D10S while being configured for left-handed players.

The body paired a solid Sitka spruce top, braced with Washburn's Cathedral Peaked Scalloped-X pattern, against mahogany back, sides, and neck. The neck carried a two-way truss rod and was finished in satin, contrasting with the gloss finish of the body. An Ovangkol fretboard and matching Ovangkol bridge sat alongside a Graphtech Nubone nut at 1-11/16" width. Scale length ran 25-5/16". The fretboard carried dot inlays across 20 frets. Tuning was handled by chrome diecast tuners, and the remaining hardware was chrome throughout. The Washburn Heritage rosette and a Washburn tortoise pickguard completed the aesthetic. Strings were fitted from the factory as D'Addario EXP light gauge phosphor bronze.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — nuts, saddles, tuning machines, or strings — should cross-reference the stated dimensions and hardware specifications when sourcing equivalents, and consult a qualified guitar technician for setup or structural work.

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.

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.

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.
