Washburn Review: WR150

History:

Purchase: I paid $300 (CAD) for this guitar at Buckley's Music in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

What I Like About This Washburn WR150: There isn't much I don't like about this guitar. The style, the pickups, the tremolo bridge, they are all factors. I also like the Grover tuners, they stay nicely in tune. I've been hammering on this thing for a good while now without a tuning. The sound quality is also great.

What I Do NOT Like About The Washburn WR150: I can't say there isn't anything I don't like about it. Other than the volume seems to have a threshold, you don't seem to get any output until the volume is on 2.

Washburn WR150 Quality Rating: The construction is great. Solid basswood body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, 2 single coil pickups and a humbucker, tremolo bridge, great Grover tuners, 5-way pickup switching. It's a great instrument.

Review Summary: This thing is a great instrument for beginners and more advanced players alike. I've loved this thing since I've first layed eyes on it and I can guarantee that no matter how many other guitars I get in my lifetime, I'm never getting rid of this one. Kudos, Washburn!

Rating of this Washburn product: 5
