Description

Washburn built the RO10STBLK-A-U as part of its Rover Series, a line positioned as travel-sized acoustic instruments suited to players at any level of experience. The guitar occupies the compact, portable end of Washburn's acoustic catalogue, carrying a travel or mini body shape designed to be taken on the road.

The top is solid spruce, braced with quarter-sawn scalloped Sitka spruce bracing — a construction detail more commonly found on full-sized instruments. Back and sides are mahogany, and the neck is also mahogany. The fretboard and bridge are engineered wood, with offset dot inlays across 18 frets. The nut is ABS at 1-11/16" width, and the scale runs 23-3/4". Hardware throughout is chrome, including chrome diecast tuners. The rosette is ABS. The finish is matte trans blue, and the guitar ships strung with D'Addario EXP16 Coated Phosphor Bronze Light strings (12-53). A deluxe gigbag was included. Units produced before August 2018 were sold with a soft shell case instead.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — strings, nut blanks, tuner buttons or a saddle — should verify dimensions against their specific instrument; a qualified luthier or guitar technician can assist with setup questions and any compatibility checks.

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.

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.
