Description

Washburn built the RO10 as part of its Rover Travel Series, positioning it as a compact acoustic instrument designed for portability rather than full-size playability. It sat at the travel end of Washburn's acoustic line, offering a reduced Rover Travel Size format suited to players needing a functional acoustic in a smaller package.

The RO10 featured a solid spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, with quarter sawn scalloped Sitka spruce bracing underneath. The mahogany neck carried a rosewood fretboard with 19 frets and offset dot inlays, meeting the body at a 23.75" scale length. The nut was ABS at 43mm width. Hardware consisted of a rosewood bridge and chrome diecast tuners. The rosette was ABS. The guitar shipped with D'Addario EXP-15 extra light phosphor bronze strings and was supplied with the ROGC case. No onboard electronics were fitted.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — bridge saddles, nut blanks, tuner sets, or strings compatible with the 23.75" scale and 43mm nut — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician who can confirm fit against the instrument in hand.

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.

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.
