Feature:
The preamp is okay, not too much control over your sound, but I dont mess with that much anyway. The tuner is pretty terrible, especially if you are a beginner and don't know what you're doing. It gives a lot of mixed signals, makes it hard to tune, so you might as well have a korg sitting next to you in case.
Quality:
This guitar is very shoddy. It seems like something someone threw together as quickly as they could so they could get it out of the shop. The frets need to be filed (it looks like a 5 year old installed them), the pins in the bridge are pieces of crap (plastic and hard to remove), the screws on the tuners were loose, there are imperfections galore on the surface, and biggest of all, the neck where it attaches to the body is cracked. Pretty big waste of money if you ask me.
Value:
I guess a 200 dollar guitar isnt very much, but I still say this guitar was worth less than i paid. Overall bad quality.
Desirability:
It looks pretty cool, but i'd take a crappy looking guitar with great sound over an ugly guitar with terrible sound.
Sound:
Taken at face value, the sound isn't too bad for a 200 dollar guitar. By this I mean, the sound is relatively rich and pretty bright, but that's ignoring all the imperfections on the fretboard that you run into.
Ease of Use:
The frets buzz pretty badly, and its dumb that that is even a problem because its washburn, not some crappy company. However, I was very disappointed to pull the guitar out the package to find the first note I played buzzed. Numerous spots on the fretboard sound bad, and as I said, the tuner sucked.
Support:
Didnt help me too much in the return process, told me I couldnt return the guitar though I definitely tried to within the return period. very dissatisfying.
Overall:
Like I said, very bad craftsmanship, not what I would exect from washburn. Save yourself some money and put in for something a bit more expensive and a hell of a lot nicer, like a takamine.
