Guitar made in Indonesia (it's written on the back of the head).
This is my second guitar made in Indonesia and finish are very good in the range. I mean a high-end guitar in Indonesia can be very well finished and a mid-range less over.
For cons, the welds are average ...

In short, it is generally not bad at all (no hook point, just glides well, the frets are in place and deburred, the wood is polished) and it is far better than my old Squier made in Japan !

Where I would be more critical is the quality of the wood (the veins have small defects and the body is in three parts) and acastillage not well polished to the trigger guard.

Flat handle, not varnished. Rosewood. Very fast.
More difficult to access in an acute N4: N2 does not have the SEC (with an anniversary model due out soon).

I will not dwell on the technical characteristics.

The Washburn floyd do not ask me for the moment no particular problem except that the screws come with are too long.

No dial tone but I think it's useless if we play at full volume (this is supposed to do if you apply effects (for which this guitar is for)).

Given the value, I put 8 for finishing.

UTILIZATION

Channel hyper pleasant, quick and fine. I was a fan of Ibanez sleeves for their speed, and there, we are well above.
Access to acute ok, of course.

Guitar VERY LIGHT!! (3Kg)
I do not understand the reviews that say the guitar is heavy. There must be error. It is as light as a light guitar from Ibanez S series (yes, they are not all so light it in the series S!).
I who farts often the back, there is a real treat!
Edit: I have a vendor number N4 relic weighed and the weight can range from still 500g or 1 / 6 the weight and more.

The shape of the body of the guitar is very ergonomic.
Seated, the guitar is very balanced as well.
Ergonomics in the TOP.

Its level:
unplugged: the notes are accurate.
connected in a clear accurate notes. A bit like his typed. The sound is bright enough (a relic has a more matte).
connected in saturation:
Micro Bill Lawrence (acute) is excellent: clear, Péchu. Bliss. I think I'll stay quite often in this config. Harmonics are breathtaking! They leave on their own position with that microphone.

The neck pickup by Washburn against is less precise (he spits, it's not pretty) and a little too serious. BUT it is still better than micro Ibanez this price range even up to 600 euros!!
Nevertheless, I highly recommend the change to a Seymour Duncan '59 SH1n4c. Indeed, it is more precise, round, deep and powerful. (Although compare prices on the net, it is almost a factor of two).

Before this change, I was always in position chevalaet Now I zap the three positions.

Note: On the N2, you do not feel too much nuance between the three positions (with micro Washburn). Note nonetheless that the push-pull of the N2 splitter allows the microphones in singles. This brings further nuance. With the micro SD '59, we have more flexibility between the three positions.
I am so impressed by the ergonomics and light weight, and for the price I can not sanction it in the note for the micro Washburn. I would put 10. It is far better than Ibanez in this price (and I've tried, and even more expensive)!

SOUNDS

I took it to complete my range (pwh4 typical jazz, blues, rock) and play Nuno saturation. So it can only paste! Although my pwh4 is very versatile and has a great sound, I was looking for a guitar neck faster. Is found.

I also wanted to replace an Ibanez too heavy and the draft.

I play a Fender Champion 110 amp transistor and a Korg pedal AX1500G. It does it well, very well since we can simulate a lot of different effects and amp with this pedal.

I use the guitar instead of the micro Bill Lawrence. It does really great.
The micro Washburn is really changing. For less than 100 euros more, it can be a stick micro SD '59 and this guitar is a great little guitar for cheap, much better than a lot of Ibanez.

OVERALL OPINION

Edit: I use it for over 3 weeks
It is short notice to let BUT I go back down in line (I assure you that pwh4 is top of its kind and it can compete with big names). I expected her to have a rotten, evil guitar finally finished something that really sticks not seen the price of the N2.
And it is not the case at all?

I compared with a Cort X-TH frets very unpleasant tear the fingers several Ibanez: EDR 470 (my old) in her rotten and very heavy, a RGT6EXFX (big sound, heavier (normal weight) , no floyd and almost two times more expensive), a S520EX (very heavy for a set S, the sound rough and more expensive) and a S670FM (lighter, more versatile, but his draft, the handle a little less faster and more expensive).

EXCELLENT value for money. I put 9 for that. I am very surprised it is not more expensive! Or Ibanez is very expensive!
With a different neck pickup, a better selection of wood, it would be really nice but not sold at the same price.
This time, I find that the N4 is very expensive in France (unless otherwise ...). I confess that if the handle of the N4 had also agreed, I might have hesitated (we play in a different category).
If one seeks the legend, you pay dearly for the N4, but the custom shop and noblest wood, especially if you opt for the N4 relic whose handle is between the N4 and N2).

Note that I now possess a Relic. It is a little stronger with a more matte than the N2. It is less versatile than the N2, but very good in his style.

If one seeks a good quality / price ratio, I think it is better to customize one that N2 and N4 take the devil small defects in the wood.
If you want the legend, you can type in the N4 ... Collectors will not say otherwise.
But having a relic N4 makes me absolutely not regret my customized N2 SD is a very good guitar.

In summary:
+: Light guitar, ergonomic micro acute disto impressive and good value for money.
-: Wood selection to review, some minor finish defects, micro serious pretty bad.
