History:
Purchase: I got this guitar at a used guitar shop in Connecticut. I was looking for a cheap guitar that I could customize. I got this for $100. What a steal! The neck is perfectly straight and all the original hardware was present.
What I Like About This Unit: Like I said, I wanted something i could customize, but I wanted it to sound good to start with. This thing has great sound, with all the original Washburn pickups. Based on the serial number, this one was made int he USA in 1985. It is a VERY solid guitar - some would say maybe even heavy. Each pickup has it's own on/off switch, which is great.
What I Do NOT Like About The Washburn G-10V: Back in the 80's Washburn had a bolt-on tremolo system called the "Washburn 2000" which is VERY big. Gets in the way sometimes. Stays in tune, though.
G-10V Quality: Very well made guitar.
Summary: Great guitar to get. Listen, if you are just starting to play and looking for a beginner electric, don't waste your money on a Squire, Epi, and the rest of the junk. Take some time and look through your local guitar stores (ie, NOT Guitar Center) fo used stuff. You'd be suprised what kind of used quality quitars you might find from the 80's that people forgot about (think Washburn, Kramer...). Betterto get a well made 2o-year-old guitar instead of a crappy new one.
