"I founr my guitar Voice thanks to the VCC coil taps on both pickups.Sell the LP's & sg's & tele's. I'd keep at least one strat t"

Feature:
There are a lot of 2 humbucker guitars out there that have coil tap, most you get the humm with. This thing is dead silent in single coil mode. The VCC can dial in almost any sound your looking to hear.Independant volume controls for each PuP.

Quality:
No visable flaws, thick clear coat. 18-1 tuners. Nice colors. Well if you like green quilt. I prefer either burst or blue.

Value:
Great buy at under $500 with Bag or hard case.

Desirability:
Good lookin, nice finish no flaws. Like a set of new teeth. Just a litle different take on the single cut away. Compare to Michael Kelly or PRS single-cut SE. More value & better sound, with infinate ability to mix bridge-& neck in both Humbucker & single coil sounds.

Sound:
Toss out the LP Humbucker & the LP P-90. They are here. While your at it toss out the tele too, it's all here. At least 3 guitars in one. Not the same old same old. New things have happened since the 60's. The Big two brands need something new to offer. Great price & value. Beautiful, I've got the Blue quilt. Started with the WI64 D "Distressed" sounded soo good got the eye candy WI64DL in Blue.

Ease of Use:
Feels soooo good. Not too heavy not too light, no sharp edge digging into your ribs. Great all around instrument. Lead with bridge bucker or single coil, screams in key. Neck nice full rich sound in either mode. Also, great for rhytum. Easy to change from lead to Rhytum.

Support:
No need for customer service. Don't expect to need warranty service. Set up & played great right out of the box. After tuning. I changed strings to 10's the second day I had it. Strings still easy to bend & hammer on.

Overall:
If stolen or lost. Would replace it right away. Can't live without this one. I've got Gibby Lp's, Gibby SG's, Fen strats. This one covers all the bases in one gig bag.

"A value priced 'Baby Doll' that you will keep and grow to love!"

Feature:
VCC controls are unique to Washburn and sell it. The hardware is good and looks smooth. Nice tuners with low 18:1 ratio. Standard bridge and tailpiece.

Quality:
Quality at a very nice price. It's not a 'cheap' guitar. It's a very nice guitar in every respect at a low price.

Value:
This is easy.... it is worth easily about $700 and sells for $420 new. Get the sunburst, you'll like it better.

Desirability:
It looks great, feels EXCELLENT, plays remarkably well and factory setup is better than good. Cosmetics and design is well done. Versatile and feel fine and sounds fine stock. Feiten system is standard...no other builder offers that! Suggest better pots and try a new/better capacitor value to tame the 'darkness' when rolled back.

Sound:
VCC controls blend half a humbucker to both coils. The neck pickup is good alone and jazz/LP sound. Bridge alone is the better of the two with 80% of the full humbucker selected. Middle position is best with the bridge dominating. It's not magical, but it is very good for a $420 guitar new. Better sound and certainly more versatile than Epiphones and most Gibsons ... at any price. Feiten system does keep it in tune all over the neck.

Ease of Use:
This is a very good player... smooth, fast, good neck profile, excellent frets are polished and ends rounded over like a good guitar should have! Korean workmanship beats Gibson and Fender generally in guitars build quality and attention to detail (paint colors, gloss, neck joint, etc.)

Support:
By reputation, Washburn holds up

Overall:
It's a great value, plays really well, looks very good and is a cracy good value. You will love it quickly if you are about quality and sound and neck/fret 'feel' and action.
