- Guitar manufactures hand to US Washburn custom shop, located in the Pilsen Chicago (o the name of the guitar)
- Mahogany body / table carved by Rabl. Trs solid, at least the same weight as a Les Paul!
- Mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets medium size
- Bridge and tailpiece Gibson type by ToneLock (a screw can Bloquet tailpiece and bridge, which remain in place when changing strings)
- Seymour Duncan Pickups: '59 in neck, custom custom in the bridge.
- Slecteur 3 positions, 2 volume, 2 tone push / pull splitter to the microphones.
- Buzz Feiten Tuning System for improved accuracy. Scale type gibson LP, 2 mm longer (because of Systm Feiten)

We can see, a guitar inspired by the trs Les Paul, which it takes in in all CHARACTERISTICS amliorant certain.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is much like that of Les Paul, pais, Submitted in hand without being Gnant. it is a little thinner than the Les Paul. Chapter regrets, rosewood key to silent average quality, too bad for a guitar of this price.
- CHAC is keen to correct, without being either DLIR
- Trs Ergonomics is good, it is noted, however, that the beautiful is its weight, it is massive trs! think it will have a very wide strap to avoid to ruin your back. The toggle switch, located as the LP, is very practical: they change osn in a snap. The knobs are a bit away from them by hand when you can play, so the plans Vitera violoning with Pilsen.
- The sound is excellent! completely on the Les Paul neck positions and intermdiaire and Les Paul sstroides often in the neck position! the microphone is split INTERESTED also, although this is not my opinion intrt the first of this guitar.

I put 8 / 10 for the quality of rosewood.

SOUNDS

- I was looking for a guitar in the spirit of Les Paul without having to pay exorbitant sums, but approaching the really real feeling and sound of a good Les Paul.

- I use it mainly to play Metal, but should use any o ncessaire is a Les Paul. splitter positions offer more, especially for studio use (it is not empty juggling push / pull live ...)

Led Zep playing is fun guaranteed with this guitar! just get into position intermdiaire not splitter and the spirit of Jimmy Page in the flat pice!

OVERALL OPINION

- I use the Pilsen since 4 months
- I could compare it with inspiring home Gibson. Diffrent a bit, but in the spirit.
- The report is qualitprix trs good, even if it remains a relatively CHRE guitar (1600). It has fautl take charge to get comtpe one hand you pay a fine dj mass of wood, on the other hand, that the violin is made by hand and Manir treated.
- I do it again this choice without hsiter!
