MGR/Anonymous « Washburn WI66V »
Published on 06/07/03 at 15:00Purchased online from Elderly Instruments, used, for $450 w/HSC.
This instrument has a comfortable neck (22 fret), well balanced body, jumbo frets, decent pair of humbuckers, and reasonably well behaved tremolo. It is equipped with the Buzz Feiten tuning system, my first guitar with this feature. The tuners are Grover, 18:1, supossedly a model custom to Washburn.
The quilted, flamed maple top is quite attractive. The neck is bound, and features inlays on ten positions.
It plays well, sounds good, and stays in tune. Not bad for korean
I really can't come up with any real complaints. This guitar sells new for $599 in a few music stores, and seems like a bargain at that price.
The joints and finish are all quite good. Washburn didn't skimp on lumber.
I have owned Gibsons, Guilds, G&L's, and Fenders. I don't think any of the big American manufacturers offer this level of quality or workmanship, and that's a shame.
I wish this guitar was built in the states, and was representative of the quality that we should expect from the big batch builders.
