quantat « A gem »
Published on 08/07/12 at 01:44The mine comes from Indonesia: for other characteristics, are the same as those shown in prior reviews.
UTILIZATION
The neck is absolutely perfect: very fine, very fair, offering great access to the treble.
The sounds are impressive (micro Seymour Duncan) and very versatile.
The VDC system is not a gimmick: it lets you go from single coil to humbucker (I really do not understand those who have replaced that system with a simple tone knobs :-(). This system offers really interesting combinations .
The body is rather "small" (compared to my Duesenberg Carl Carlton) not heavy at all.
SOUNDS
I play directly on sound (Yamaha Stage Pass 500) via a pedal (korg ax1000g).
I play pop, rock and reggae and I found all the sounds that interest me: the VDC system allows a lot of combinations.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 10 months, a little less now since I have a Duesenberg.
I still have to emphasize that WI66pro does not look shabby next to it.
This guitar is superb: the violin is very neat and I particularly like his "mouth" (I prefer to that of Lespaul) ... a gem.
Washburn wi66pro between a Gibson and 1000 euros, I have no hesitation (we'll probably accuse me of exaggerating if I say that some Gibson, even though more expensive, seem "sloppy". I compared with a Mexican Strat ... again I would not trade!
I bought mine here on Audiofanzine (500 euros) and I do not regret (even if it is "sold off" to 400 euros).
Yes I would do without this choice problem. Although if I had not already a quarter of the cash I would take WI67pro.
