Washburn D-10 wins major award

Washburn D10S acoustic guitarWashburn Guitars is proud to note that their D10S guitar was honored earlier this month during the prestigious Music Industry Association Awards in London. The MIA is a British musical products trade association, roughly equivalent to NAAM, which started as US music trade association, but no has a more international scope.

The MIA Awards celebrate the best selling, most reliable or simply new and innovative products and retail strategies in the UK. Washburn’s D10S won in the Acoustic Guitar category.

Ian Cullen, Marketing Director for Washburn’s UK distributor (Sound Technology PLC) was understandably upbeat at the news.

“We’re very excited to win this award which comes on the back of a record-breaking year for Washburn in the UK. The D10S has consistently been our top-selling acoustic guitar and we’re delighted it has been recognized by the MIA in this way.”

You can find out more about the D10S, and all of Washburn’s acoustic guitars on their web site.
