WASHBURN
RELEASES NEW ACOUSTIC GUITAR PACKAGE
Package Will Include New D8
Model
CHICAGO, August 15, 2000- Washburn
has a history of making great, affordable acoustic instruments such as the
D10- the world’s best selling guitar. This year, Washburn was recognized
for it’s efforts by readers of Acoustic Guitar Magazine and was
awarded their Player’s Choice Award for steel string acoustics
under $500. Continuing this tradition of excellence will be the Washburn
D8, which will be available in a new acoustic guitar package, the D8K.
The D8 has many of the same features that
made the D10 so popular, such as a spruce top, mahogany sides and back and
lifetime warranty. The D8 also has a satin finish and capped tuners. The
package also includes everything you need to get out and play with a
padded gig bag, digital tuner, nylon guitar strap and guitar picks.
The D8K also comes with eMedia’s
award-winning "Guitar Method" CD-ROM. This computer-based
tutorial is the most popular CD-ROM guitar lesson on the market. "The
decision to use eMedia software was an easy one," says Washburn Sales
Manager John Kelley. "We wanted to include the most complete lesson
possible for our customers." The package retails for $334.90.
WASHBURN
RELEASES NEW ELECTRIC GUITAR PACKAGE
Works With Randall
Amplifiers To Offer Top-Of-The-Line Guitar/Amp Package
CHICAGO, August 15, 2000- Washburn
International is offering an electric guitar package that features the
best of both worlds- a guitar from a historic guitar manufacturer and an
amp from a great amplifier company. The new WR150PKG starts with a
Washburn WR150 electric guitar, available in Metallic Blue, Metallic Red
or Black. Hardly an "entry-level" instrument, the WR150 has been
a mainstay in the Washburn line for the past few years. This new model,
however, has an improved 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. As always, the
WR150 has a solid-wood body, SSH pickup configuration, fulcrum tremolo and
Grover tuners.
For the amplifier element of the package,
Washburn looked to its subsidiary, Randall Amplifiers. "What we
found," says Washburn Sales Manager John Kelley, "was that our
customers felt most packages on the market have a weak point. They either
have a name-brand guitar and ‘no name’ amp or vice versa, but never
both." The solution to the problem was to include the Randall RG15X
guitar amp in the Washburn package. This amp has a master volume and gain
control, boost switch to activate the distortion channel, three-band EQ
and a line and headphone out. "The Randall gives the package further
credibility," continues Kelley, "and offers consumers more of
what they want in a guitar package."
The WR150PKG also includes the
best-selling "Guitar Method" instructional CD-ROM by eMedia to
help beginners through the basics. The CD-ROM, while technically a
beginner lesson, also features tips for intermediate-level players as
well. Of course, the package also contains all the necessary
"extras" for guitarists of any playing level, such as a padded
gig bag, digital tuner, nylon guitar strap and guitar picks. The package
retails for $499.90.
WASHBURN
ANNOUNCES PAUL STANLEY MILLENNIUM MODEL
The Paul Stanley Millennium model
(PS2000MIL) gives you the chance to be a part of KISS history- by owning a
limited edition guitar designed for Paul Stanley! These are the same
models, built to the same specs, as the ones Paul uses onstage. Only 100
of these guitars will be made, guaranteeing that each one is an instant
collector’s item.
The PS2000MIL’s mahogany body is
encrusted with fine Czech and Austrian crystal rhinestones, creating a
unique look that can’t be ignored. The custom mirror pickguard and star
tailpiece are features you won’t find on other guitars. The bound ebony
fingerboard features a combination abalone and mother-of-pearl block-inlay
that gives the guitar a classy touch. Dual Seymour Duncan pickups and
Grover tuners are standard, as is the Paul Stanley signature truss-rod
cover.
The guitar includes a luggage quality case
with crushed velvet interior so your guitar will be safe at all times. The
guitar also comes with a leather folio containing a special photo that can
be personalized by Paul to your liking and a signed certificate of
authenticity. Round that out with a Paul Stanley signature strap, picks
and strings and you have the ultimate KISS guitar package!
The retail price of this guitar is $10,000.
