ay is! The first pass Nol is a step ahead and offered me this great guitar factory in Indonsie.
It is a fresh view, as I have the instrument for several days and I could not test group.
It is half a box without central beam trs inspires Gibson ES125.
20 frets (14 boxes from the box), and body table mahogany, rosewood fingerboard, 1 mini humbucker neck ct command with a volume and Tone knob floating bridge rosewood adjustable in height.
The pots are on the body and not on the pickguard as it does in the picture.
Good, I find more Aesthetics and certainly more convenient.
On the other hand, the belt attachment sleeve t ct dplace Sides of the heel, unlike the photo, which I parat wiser.
It should also prciser that this guitar is really more beautiful "for real" on this picture that does him no honor. Ralite in the tobacco sunburst is really beautiful and bright. The finishes are trs good for a guitar of this price.
It comes in a gigbag well made that should the property being protected bte transport.

UTILIZATION

This guitar is classified as "jazz". This is my Premire exprience of this type of guitar.
For my part, I classify a new CATEGORY: guitars "roots" (as the "roots" is the mode).
On the one hand because it is heavily inspired from the ES125 (I do not know if we can call it a copy, I never had the opportunity to play on an ES125), and other from the sound that comes out of the beast is really typical "vintage".
Branch in my old Princeton 64, we find the first sound of BB King! It's fat and warm. A real rgal. Submitted trs are the serious, which does not prevent the Aiges to be heard. One module easily with knob of Tone which is quite effective (for the same volume) to give the sound you want. Those who swear by the lens of the tele and strato may not love.
With a little tad of overdrive (just) it's even better! This guitar apprcie that he "comes in", with good attacks mdiator can be, the original strings are hard (11/52?). Beware, there is no central beam, the feedback so quickly but by me like Grable.
The handle is pais (the opposite of Taylor), take the whole hand, and Access in Aiges del difficult the 12th box.
I think it's rducteur limiting this guitar to jazz. It will rev much to blues, to rock a little dirty, and all the music "roots" (reggae, country, rockabilly). The game picking tufted low as it will rev well. That's balance.

SOUNDS

Ah, well shit! I rpondu these questions above

OVERALL OPINION

I love that scratching! Sr Although there is the novelty that excites me that I may be a little bit, I must return confirm (or disprove) the notice in a while.
For résumé, this guitar is beautiful, well finished trs (better than my ES335 reissue) and rev sounds good. I do not know how to ring a little ES125, but I know how it can rate! Then for 319 euros, the Washburn me parat be a steal for those looking for vintage or its roots (as a call you want) on the cheap without sacrificing quality.
