    Washburn KC-70VPublished on 02/27/06 at 15:45

    -Made in the United States, Chicago (normal is a MODEL of the Chicago series!)
    -22frettes, the microphone is HSS config (that is, 2simples and a Humbucker) all washburn
    He is a licensed Floyd Rose is great that the agreement no worries at this level lbr /> -1 + 1 Tone gnrale volume. The bridge pickup (humbucker) is simple splittable in the selectors allow all possible configurations! (Even all at the same time =))

    I would put 9 pr aesthetics of the guitar and microphones

    UTILIZATION

    -The handle is flat, it's amazing he gets wedged in the palm of his hand as if silent-made is a real highway, it is trs enjoyable, but also very fast and can dislocate super;)

    -The handle is flat, it's amazing he gets wedged in the palm of his hand as if silent-made is a real highway, it is trs enjoyable, but also very fast and can dislocate super;)
    With strato-form, Access in irrprochable is acute, it is well prsence a lead guitar!
    -The weight is gone, the guitar does not address, it is super light, ultra fine
    I use it on a marshall sound is hell but it sounds great already has empty! config with microphones gives ultimate flexibility: the deathmetal (humbucker) to jazz (all active pickups) through the blues (piezo only) and glamrock (piezo + humbucker)

    saw the handle (I'm on the ass tjs) MRIT it's 10!

    SOUNDS

    With a good distortion marshall she takes all her interest, and saw his look, there's something to do on the pro scne is a class act
    - In clean, sound is a real treat soft arpeggios are very nice, just follow up with a good distortion and contrast promises great sound
    I wish the neck pickup a little disappointing, but combined with the other 2 we get a surprising his jazz guitar pr Size Sense rock! The humbucker has many many PCHE. I fai lot together just with this one! (Veridiction lol!) But if you want the sound of death, consider changing it by a good EMG!

    OVERALL OPINION

    was 6 months I have already over and I can part with it (must say I have a guitar geek a cot!)
    the combination of microphones and the handle makes all his interest is really a great guitar it recognizes the the button washburn: great value quality price, and we still wonder how they make such good guitars at a price so affordable (esp in an equivalence or would ltd has over 1000!
    -It is on, if it did not exist it would be invented! it has everything its big brothers jackson and company;)

    I share the view of overall Myrapha on this guitar. A few details:

    - I can not find it very lightly. Despite its appearance typical Ibanez RG, it accuses still quite a weight.
    - I can not handle super comfortable. It is indeed slim. I can not find it tremendously wife's hand, however the game is tiring because you have to compensate for the "empty". But it seems there is a lot of amateurs, this type of profile. For it is against the mega strong. It is even difficult to twist it by pulling it.
    - The level she wants versatile but is not that much. The humbucker is limited to rock, it does not have enough punch for harmonics and flirts with the metal or blues chubby. The neck pickup is …

But it seems there is a lot of amateurs, this type of profile. For it is against the mega strong. It is even difficult to twist it by pulling it.
    - The level she wants versatile but is not that much. The humbucker is limited to rock, it does not have enough punch for harmonics and flirts with the metal or blues chubby. The neck pickup is very interesting, it's a very special, very clean, very slamming. The central micro, in my case, up is down because it hinders my attack mediator, and does not sound particular interest, as most microphones Central elsewhere. Split the humbucker is nice, but combine the microphones does not need an awful cacabouilla. on the other hand, each has its own micro switch on / off individually, and it's great, much stronger than a 5-position switch, and it offers multiple combinations (combinations that give a sound cacabouilla, I ' mentioned earlier). The single-coils have a lot of "hum", but I think age is not foreign to my model (1990).
    - The vibrato is actually very sturdy, nothing to do with the licensed Floyd guitars and early modern mid-range gun that tuning the first time. He is good, small mechanical parts do not wear very little, especially threading, painting remains entrenched. This is a MIJ Takeushi.

    It is generally a very solid guitar like you have never for a more affordable price, all items are very sturdy, the tuning is good and the electronics are reliable. Now I would not call the KC70-V Guitar "pro". But it's a good scratch following well, for sure, and is now at a ridiculous price.

    My model in 1990 and then sold for $ 649 U.S..
    I sanded the table (the fuchsia glitter, blah blah ...), to show nice graining of wood. The body is in three parts, and could be of alder.
    I replaced the humbucker with a Seymour Duncan SH4. One of my single-coils is almost dead (winding relaxed?), So I placed in the middle position I do not use.
    Small switches tend to make unwanted noise, so I re-screened all around the cavity. Problem solved.
