Washburn Harvest D7S Natural

A Harvest in the Washburn Tradition

Founded in 1883 in Chicago, Washburn is one of the historic major names in folk guitar. The Series 7, also known as Harvest, continues this legacy: offering serious, musical luthiery designed for everyday playing. The Harvest D7S Natural (often referenced as WD7S in catalogs) focuses on proven wood choices and a refined finish to deliver an inspiring instrument at a very accessible price point.

For Whom and Which Styles?

Thanks to its dreadnought format and balanced response, this folk guitar suits both the beginner looking for a reliable and expressive guitar and the intermediate player seeking a versatile acoustic. It is particularly comfortable in pop, folk, country, and acoustic rock, with very good strumming performance. Its comfort also allows tackling picking and arpeggios with good definition.

Sound Characteristics

The solid spruce top delivers clarity, a clean attack, and a great dynamic range: the harder you play, the more the guitar responds. The sculpted X bracing in Sitka spruce promotes solid projection and natural sustain while maintaining a good balance between lows and highs. The mahogany back and sides enhance warmth and roundness, with present mids that help the guitar "fill" the space well in accompaniment. The ovangkol fingerboard and bridge contribute to a pleasant playing feel and efficient vibration transmission, resulting in a lively and coherent sound across the entire range.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original behavior, you can opt for light gauge 12-53 folk metal strings in phosphor bronze, such as the factory-installed set (D'Addario EXP-16 Light).
