Washburn HB 30 Review

History:

Purchase: Purchased the HB30 off ebay for $291.00. came with Washburn care. The guitar is a 1994 model and was vwey well cared for.

Pros: I love everything about this axe. The set neck is perfect and balance superb. Pickup tone can be adjusted to anyones taste and they do howel. Center block keeps feedback to almost nill. Fit and finish near perfect to boot. I have been playing for 35 years. I have played Gibsons, Fenders, Guild's etc. and this guitar is one of the very best I have ever put my hands on.



Cons: I can't think of a thing.

HB 30 Quality: The HB30 has maple body and set neck. Pickups are wasnburn double humbuckers. Four tophat knobs run the show. Grover 18:1 tuners work perfectly. Three way switch very accessable on the top left. Beautiful cherry finish is flawless.

Washburn Summary: Bottom line! Get this axe! Is feels, sounds, and is built as good or better than a Gibson ES 335. That'so joke. Go to your local guitar store and strap on a few. Play the Washburn last then walk out with 1000.00 at least saved. (2000.00 if you talk Gibson) Any guitar plays only as good as the musician so get to it.
