Half chre the Peavey Wolfgang which it is based, I bought this prfr Washburn siganture Billy T for the best quality of its wood and its comfortable handle. With a price of only 750 euros, under leaves to buy a good amp. But the sound Van Halen is well presented and we can play music master as well as that of Billy T ...
Characteristic:
- Assembled in the Custom Shop Washburn Coren (hence the price)
- Body solid mahogany with very fine veins
- Table sycamore flammbr /> - ultra fast neck but not flat like a Ibanez (fairly close to that of the Musicman LUKE)
- Mine is from 2002 so it's super team of microphones, Washburn 621 and 626 with Di Marzio dvelopps USA: the output level is amazing!
- A knob of Tone and volume knob
- Mechanical Grover
- Vibrato Pink Floyd 500 S (the same as that of the N2)

She very well maintained over time and for 750 euros I would put much 10 ...

USE

The problem evoked by Judge Fred know spring has noise t solved easily, I changed the spring and my cot 8 euros ...
This is the easiest guitar playing I possde, you feel immediately at home, not even with my Ibanez 540 S whose very thin neck with frets very high demand good months of use before taking its brands. It is also a Superior Jackson Soloist (3000 euros ...) I also sold.

The guitar is very polyvente, we can play metal, modern jazz and blues rock, it is in this area that I prefers.

SONORITS

If you are looking for the sound of a Gibson Les Paul but with a fast neck for solos, this guitar is for you. It is even more powerful than the Les Paul.
It is also ideal for furious solos with long notes. We feel here the quality of the violin well worth 2500 euros guitars ...
Microphones sontr of fuses, one feels the leg of Di Marzio, the 620 is much better than that Eliminators quipent the BT10. Besides, I had a mountain with a N2 Eliminator and Bill lawrence and the sound was really too cold and too right Mtal typ.
The Billy T is very versatile, they play some of Santana, the van Halen, Satriani's, the Henrix, it sounds great ... on the other hand if you are looking for crystal clear sound Fender , go your way, we are in the heavy, powerful.
THE neck pickup sounds round and fat but without excesses, is a Superior Studio Lespaul power and the sound is much more defined what can be pushed very far into saturation.
The bridge pickup is sharp and strong with a big attack, and an output level dlirant ...
The middle position makes a compromise between roundness and sharp ideal for funk or clean sounds.

What I like is that this guitar is not limited to Mtal it sounds great to "cruncher" a tube amp (marshall prfrence) is the foot! Great for vaccinating a blues riff or make the Slash.

On the clean channel with the knob of Tone 2 gives the sound of half cash and play solos blues or jazz ...
In short this is by far the most versatile guitar I possde, moreover my Les Paul Studio serves me back up on stage ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

A guitar for the very big sound but also: Ideal for singing the blues.
If you seek his van Halen or Gibson: go for it.
If you like to play the crystalline sounds Goldman: This guitar is not for you.
What I like is his strong personality which is rare in the price range of 700 euros.
I also like the incredible beauty that ridicules PRS 3000 euros.
THE only problem is that it is duplicate with my Lespaul and that I will have to sell one o the other. I think I'll sell Lespaul because I play it 2 times slower than with Billy T.
If you are a fan of Rock, Hard Rock, Blues, this guitar is a bargain, I do not know if it is still against manufactures ... A very large Russianness the custom shop Coren Washburn!
