Thanks Park - my jokes probably are stronger than my playing but that's okay too. lol

I purchased a brand new epiphone Les Paul Special with the wrap around stringing type bridge/tailpiece....They sell new for around $120.00 but I got mine on a holiday sale for $97.00 that included tax. It comes with legitimate P90 pickups.....I had it re fretted with stainless steel frets by a luthier for $200.00 total I replaced the tuners myself with a new Grover set for $55.00. I have about $285.00 in the guitar. It is tied with my favorite guitar of all 8 guitars that I own including 2 that are close to 3,000.00 guitars. In other words, it is second to none !!

Washburn is quickly becoming my favorite guitar brand!! My Gretsch Streamliner Jr is up there with my Washburn M44, Washburn G10V and a Washburn WG587

@@kevinshobbyroom3932 my we bought ours 2nd hand in 2004 and fixed it up it sounds super great now

I had always been a person to buy Washburn acoustics.for the price point of what they cost and the playability and sound I couldn't find any other guitar that has ever beat Washburn. I bought the Nuno Bettencourt signature model in the very late 90s I got one used for a good price. My first Washburn electric. It is absolutely amazing, I ended up scalloping the entire fingerboard (I learned how to play on a scalloped strat starting about 1985). Washburn makes incredible acoustics, but once I played one of their electrics I was hooked like a fish. They are incredible guitars and they always have a decent price (at least for my budget).I would love to own that guitar right there.

It is a nice looking axe. Cheap guitars need love too.

Another useful video and Alan is just fun in his videos. That guitar needs pick ups and tuners....But if you're starting at $150.00 it doesn't matter because by all accounts you will end up with a guitar comparable in tone and playability to an $800.00 - $1,200.00 guitar with about $600.00 or possibly less in the guitar. And its unique !

@@GearGasms Apparently it is quite rare to find, because I bought it from a friend of my mother and she told me that she bought it at a guitar convention many years ago and that it was the only one with that model, and she told me I sold it because I had already stored it for several years without using it.

Hello Alan, I have never owned a Washburn, but that is a great looking, and a fair sound for those pickups. Truthfully, I was not aware they made a pro series. Sounded good through the effects. You did not mention the action. Definitely needs tuners and pickups and a good set of ernie Ball or slinky strings. Pretty cool demo video today. Have a great one.

@GearGasms

5 жыл бұрын

I usually don't talk about the action, unless it was shipped high or there's some issue with it. To me, action is like string guage, it's totally up to and controllable by the player. I never had or played a Washburn before this one either but I had to jump on it due to the stupid low price! Thanks Mike!!! Enjoy the weekend, brother!

I have to agree a little lame, I have x40 which is more aggressive and heavier guitar. I know this has a lighter body due to alder wood which has a warmer sound, but less mids typical Fender tone wood. It is a lower value than the x40 with the x mark on the 2nd hand market. I agree though about Washburn I also have a Washburn acoustic hand made from Mountain ash, which is getting more rare?
