All user reviews for the Washburn WI67 Pro

Made in Korea, no particular fault to find!
The varnish may be a bit thick and sticky for my taste.

Violin Level:
Idol form, unique to Washburn, and a hearing in "f" with acoustic cavity.
Violin "on Lespaul" body and mahogany neck, maple wavy (very nice), rosewood fingerboard.
Handle the average level size, not too thin and not too wide, suitable for little hands (in my case), 22 boxes
The acoustic cavity adds bass and fullness, superb cleans are obtained. However, it blurs the sound a little crunch and distortion, the accuracy is not as good. Violin more jazz-oriented blues hard rock / metal
==> No complaints at the violin, it's beautiful and well done (I will return in the comfort of playing with it to review)

Level equipment / fittings:
2 pickups Seymour Duncan SH1 '59 in the neck and TB11 Custom Custom in the bridge (note the bridge pickup spacing "for floyd", it is a not a TB11 SH11). Nothing wrong with the quality level, we can always discuss the taste but it's still good microphones
A set tune-o-matic / stop bar and Grover (ratio 18: 1) that enable stable tuning. Personally, I do not necessarily need to retune after a few days of inactivity. And rehearsal, I retunes once the strings are warm, it does not move then!

Electronics atypical because in addition to the neck pickup selector / pickup / both and the two volumes, there is a VDC system to gradually splitter each pickup. I also use a treble bleed that allows me to lower the neck pickup without losing treble, it's really good for cleans. I'm personally not convinced by the VCC, it loses too much output level without having very different sounds, I think I can be content only with a volume by micro!

UTILIZATION

One of his big weaknesses is comfort Thurs I tried several models in this series, a WI66 and my wi67, the neck profile is probably not the one that works best for me and the action is still quite high, despite adjustments to a professional.
Attention remains comfortable, but if you like very low action is not the guitar for you.

The shape is nice, however, it's really light and access to the treble is more than enough.

SOUNDS

The sound is EXCELLENT, especially clean where it gives off a great depth. It is very versatile shot.
The sounds are not sharp, but soft and round. As mentioned, its domain is the clean and crunch, it's a little too messy distortion, the fault in his violin and microphones.

So perfect for jazz, blues, British rock and pop. Beyond that it is better to have solid-body and pickups sharper

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 years now. I believe in change for my tastes and my ear is refined, it is ultimately not perfectly suited to what I want (solid body, more accurately / treble); However, she accompanied me for many years that I do not find anything wrong; great versatility, good reliability, great guitar for the collection, pop, jazz, blues, rock too pushed.

-> In which country was it made?

Korea
Bought a used 660 euros.

-> How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?

- Quarter cash
- Net cash multi-layered
- Seymour Duncan pickups (model 59 to the handle and the custom custom bridge)
- Rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets
- Inlays benchmarks "wings" pearl
- Contour Control (VCC)
- Black Chrome hardware
- AAA flamed maple table
- Mahogany neck piece
- Mahogany body
- Table sculpted modern single cutaway
- Stop tailpiece with Tune-o-matic

-> What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?

- 3-way switch, handle - handle + easel - easel
- A volume for each microphone
- Voice Contour System, a kind of tone.

UTILIZATION

-> The handle is it fun?

Channel rather thin, heel end which allows good access to acute.
-> Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

Relatively light weight it is lighter than my previous washburn strat-type, the form does not interfere with both sitting and standing.

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...

Easily can be not, we must get used to the bridge pickup SH11 and sharp enough to handle '59 round and warm. The VCC requires a bit of time to handle it but not worth a real tone (The VCC can choose the level of spittage microphones).

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?

Since I do not really precise style it suits me, though it does not really want to do or death metal.

Well as its clear that distortion, see above for the sound of microphones.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is packed with everything I was looking for a violin as Gibson (2 humbuckers, tune o matic, etc ...), a hearing even if it is not there for looks than for sound, good microphone which are a great value in my opinion, Grover, and a very nice table.
I am completely satisfied, pulling the strings today seems a bit light so I will change it.

Manufacturing CHARACTERISTICS Core.Les are identical prcedent notice.
It is a very well finished guitar. A look between Gibson and PRS with hearing really
class and good wood trs qualit.Je bought it new in 2006 for 799 euros (there is a version more US CHRE if I remember rightly) clear with "Ya Basta", the Wasburn site and two trials in-store ... concluant.Le Systm VCC (modulation level splittage) is a good find and the absence of tonality is not a problem for me: you have to test and adopt . The neck is relatively late, after a year he got my main.L whole is stable, the tailpiece and mcaniques are worth the sre rglages are simple and effective DIY same.

UTILIZATION

The ergonomics of the handle suits me well and the junction to the body (trs collest stylized (see). Accde is without any problem even with the thumb which slides on the low E . In addition to the VCC the two microphones are the microphones! versatility recognized that fact that I put my multi-effect cot for the purity of the original sound as well as clear that one thing satur.La we can do with it may be the mtal and I never even try.

SOUNDS

As I said this is a guitar that did polyvalente.Je 30DFX Marshall and Korg AX 1500 and some Boss pedals and intends to spend his whole lampes.Je have tried it on a Laney LC 30 II and a Marshall DSL 401 and am DCID change ds as possible.

OVERALL OPINION

In fact I do not really have the default Washburn. This is an excellent choice qualitprix and I no referrer hsiter.Pendant 3 months I also tried taking a stronger (rgular) but eventually the 9-46 (the Mount of part) for me mieux.En short I think I made a good investment on a guitar that does not dmode and ages like a good vintage in Bordeaux.

Made in Korea
features: everything has been said
The fact that there is no vibrato is a + for me.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very classic, not too thick, varnished.
Access to acute is correct, but it's not a guitar designed for making his time between the 18th and 22nd freight solos to the Uli Jon Roth.
The ergonomics are very good, it is one of the light guitar, probably because of the small excavation in the table.
Easily obtained a good clear sound, less distortion evident in, for that reason I am not 10.

SOUNDS

In clean neck pickup is paradise, it's simple I never got a sound so rich, round yet precise, very serious bass, clear treble hypermarkets. perfection.
It is perfect for my style from jazz to blues to clear a crunchy sound.
The vcc brings a lot of variations. It is actually very difficult to understand, after a year I still have not decided which setting I prefer.
I can not say that I prefer the traditional buttons tonalite, because they are completely unnecessary given that I always put in 10. The vcc is different, each quarter turn radically changes the sound.
The distortion is nice too with this microphone.

In the bridge position I think is much more mixed. The also must be tested by turning the VDC, but the sounds are much less convincing than clean sounds. We clearly can not do the amp roar, the sound is rather poor, it lacks scale.
But I put the maximum because I prefer a guitar in a great area, here the neck pickup, a guitar very good everywhere.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year.
The VCC is a little unsettling, too many possibilities and therefore a person has tendeance disperse my attention to the sound rather than music.
I consider the excellent quality-price ratio.
If lost I would buy without hesitation.
