Overview
Washburn builds the Apprentice WD100DL as a dreadnought acoustic with mahogany on the top, back, sides and neck. Scalloped bracing under the top is meant to make it respond to both light and hard strumming, and a fixed bridge anchors the strings.
The WD100DL pairs the large dreadnought body with all-mahogany construction, which the maker describes as adding low-end richness and projection. A gig bag and coated strings mean it can be played right out of the box. The listing gives no pickup or tuner details, so judge it as an unplugged guitar for practice and small performances.
Who it's for
Students and casual strummers who want loud, full sound from a first acoustic suit this model. Players needing a cutaway, onboard tuner or pickup should look at an acoustic-electric instead, as none is shown here.
Pros and cons
- Mahogany top, back, sides and neck
- Scalloped bracing for responsive tone

- Fretboard is engineered wood
- Large body is bulky to carry
- No pickup or electronics shown
- Nut width and neck profile not listed
Performance notes
Mahogany across the top, back and sides gives the warm, low-weighted tone the maker describes, and the dreadnought body moves a lot of air for volume. Scalloped bracing frees the top to vibrate, which shapes how it answers strumming versus fingerpicking. Coated strings are fitted from the factory for tone and playability right away.
