Vintage Encore W255 Acoustic 6 String Guitar 1980s.
I believe this guitar must be from the 1980s judging by the ageing I could see on the strings and mellowing of the woods. It plays very well and the action is superb. I’m an advanced player and I have enjoyed playing it a lot. Nice tones and playablilty, I’d heard that the W255 were good guitars and that’s true in my opinion too. I can’t imagine the modern/new versions will play as well as this one.
If you’re looking for a cheap guitar with a decent tone and playability then this is for you. This guitar is an older version, so the woods have mellowed and everything settled in to give it these qualities.
Encore Acoustic Guitar W-255 is a full size dreadnought in high gloss finish. Made with a standard materials: Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, Basswood fingerboard and bridge and neck in Mahogany.
This guitar is expertly constructed with big sounding instrument, it’s offering a pleasantly crisp and bright tone with and impressive ringing sustain. At this price point great guitar for beginners to intermediate musicians.
