UTILIZATION

SOUNDS

Very versatile guitar that can be used for blues, rock, metal, heavy distortion or light crunch. Specially designed for the "Santana".

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years and I am very satisfied. I wanted a guitar whose sound is closer to Santana with distortion. I first tried Ibanez and Jackson, the most recognized brands, but it is to this end that I Washburn tour, which seemed to be better compared to my budget and my needs.
I would do this choice without hesitation.

I am taking a different approach to the review of this guitar, and the Zoom Fire-18M amp I got at the same time, than I usually do. Rather than live it with months or years, I am going to review these on a "first impressions" basis, as I play them, together, for the first time.

Made in Korea.

Simple controls- vol, tone, 3-way switch vintage Strat-type (Washburn's promotional material says 5, but it ain't so but WAIT! Push-pull pot to split or tap the 'buckers! I LOVE that!

Two "Head Hunter" humbucker pickups.

24 FREAKIN' FRETS! That's why I say, I gotta learn how to play lead.

Tune-o-Matic bridge. Thin maple neck, rosewood fretboard.

Oh, and BUZZ FEITEN TUNING SYSTEM! I'm amped about this, as it's new to me. On spending a little time with the guitar, though, I don't see what the hoopla is all about.

Beautiful, dark brown, rich-looking alder top. With no pickguard, and everything, including the 3-way switch, mounted directly on the arched wood top, and NO fret markers on the fretboard (they are, however, on the side), this is a beautiful but understated guitar.

Grover 18:1 tuners.

UTILIZATION

24th fret is as easy to access as such narrowly-spaced frets can be. Nice sounds can be had here, without having to wring them out of the guitar. Light body, well balanced, body contouring is minimal, but enough.

SOUNDS

Sounds are rather limited- surprising and a tad dissapointing, given that this guitar has a HB coil tap. The Washburn "Head hunter" pickups are okay, but do not really stand out.

OVERALL OPINION

24 frets and tune-o-matic (no tremolo) bridge make this a good tool for a lead guitarist who does not go in for histronics, but rather a wide range, but ho-hum pickups may spoil the fun, until they are replaced. If you let your playing and finger technique do the talking for you, and don't care for "flash," this is a good platform for modifications.

SOUNDS

From blues to the manufacturer mtal of APRS in fact easily obtained full of sound and distortion funcky Splitt is sharp (a + for the bridge pickup) otherwise in clean neck pickup sounds warm, bluesy rock bridge + Nothing thundering and aggressive yet versatile
Microphones with an output level quite impressive not afraid of the disto guys!

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year. It cost me 450euros. I use it mainly with a valbee ibanez.
J'hsite change the pickups (for the couple sh2 sh4) but I do not know if I will win really quality sound.
I am fully satisfied with this scratch scratch all who try to find it enjoyable. I have never been against by the opportunity to test the guitars worth more lev financire as this.
TRS is a good choice I do it again for a scratch versatile blues rock and I think (I do not play mtal)
