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.

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.

Feature:
I wish it had 22 or 24 frets, but 21 is enough for most people. The components used are top notch, i may replace the bridge pickup with a Duncan i have but thats just because I want to, its not neccessary. The tuners are excellent as well.

Quality:
This guitar is solid through and through. It gives me no trouble except for when the strings get old the G tends to go out much faster but that is to be expected. It is definately road worthy and the only reason I would have a backup would be to keep the other one in a different tuning.

Value:
If you are looking for a medium to low price guitar this is the way to go. Definately a must have in anyones collection.

Desirability:
Like I said, I have the model that is Distressed Black (if you haven't seen one go to the Washburn site) and it has distressed hardware and no finish on the body. This guitar is sleek and sexy.

Sound:
Sounds great distorted or clean. This guitar has many great tones and sounds and it is an excellent buy. I use this with a Mesa Dual Rectifier and it sounds awsome. It is very responsive and the VCC makes alot of difference. I actually have the version that is Distressed Black with no finish and I love it.

Ease of Use:
This guitar has great action and is very easy to use. The neck is like a Strat but set in and it is very easy to access upper frets.

Overall:
I will play this guitar as long as I have it and may replace it with another one but a different model, like the Gold Top one with P-90s or one that has nice inlays and Seymour Duncans.

it sounds so good...clean sound is perfect and when you pair it with boss hypermetal stompbox you'll get a hyper distorted sound perfect for punk rockers..
