we would have liked it to be manufactured elsewhere than corr but in terms of quality ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable to play what is becoming a problem as we try another guitar: first it is very fine and also it is raw, so when one is not a fan of strats choice deuxime a scratch (when you want to put miles and cents) becomes difficult. Well you get used to the comfort.
The access is very good for acute and jouabilit excellent condition that the string is not too far from the key (but hey it's the same for all guitars).
Play early or sitting is super comfortable due to its small size (less than a pais paul archtop for example) and light weight. Me I jump in with all the senses (for the game scene and fatigue is top).
Its micro level splitables are not a practice we get sound but the rhythmic funk strat not ask no problem.
For my part, I put in a position intermediate-I have a beautiful pallette of sound for its clear and arpge ds that engages the tube and sream bah that is happiness.
So 9 just because I once loved Splitt that has less felt.

SOUNDS

I play rock / pop / blues / funk.
my amp is a Vox Valvetronix. This amp is great at the base so the two sets you can do everything that is orgiastic. in session can I play a marshall and the dynamics are slightly less presents the record is more homogne. even on a transistor is doing well, but matter of taste I find less alive.
voila, they come here the only criticism I would make is that when we push back the volume was not that little natural crunch. It is always clean, clean, crystalline, rich sounds.
a small 8 suits him so well.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 2006. And I love him more. I will not resell because:
I chose it and I have been offered.
I've never seen someone play on the same model. it's not like strats: P
every time I spell in a store or to anyone not playing guitar, everyone drooling.
has to be my 5th electric and saw that the LATEST (an Epiphone LP100 with more micro OBL) I miss her as deuxime guitar, I would sell it for a Ampeg Dan Armstrong plexi.
quality price ratio, I would say that today I would have put 200 euros more for the same quality and the same originality.
in 2 years I have just two screws at the bridge pickup which rust and patina to the saddle even more. And the coup de mdiator on raw wood is not seen too much.
we all age well short both.

edit December 2010:
T I am obliged to spare. I made a studio power in the year, plugs into a TS9 and a Marshall, Ing has almost nothing to touch it out of the mix unlike the PRS Singlecut SE of the second I grateux that plugs into the silent table through a "no amp".
assessing four years together: the finish is very good, wood good quality and well done I can be sch 2 / 3 rglages in total. There is a small sputters on a knob but nothing irrmdiable with a shot of WD40.
Bravo washburn is a guitar that I will miss.
