Washburn Review: X40

History:

Purchase: I sold my old epiphone Demon V and some paintball gear and was looking for a better guitar on musicansfriend.com. Boy was it my lucky day! They were having a clearance sale and i bought this baby for 200 bucks! it list for 700$!

What I Like About This Washburn X40: Oh man, I don't have enough time in the world to tell what I like about it. It is so easy and smooth to play, just amazing. I play hardcore metal and this is the guitar thats gets the job done plus more. I can sound like System of a down, Slipknot, Mudvayne, etc. one sec then switch over to the single coil and play like slayer.

What I Do NOT Like About The Washburn X40: I don't like how it's so perfect! I like to complain about stuff but this is just amazing.

Washburn X40 Quality Rating: Solid and sort of heavy, not for you weak lings! My strap broke (i guess supporting it) and it hit the floor and not one dent, scatch or any sign of it hitting the hard concrete.

Review Summary: If you play metal/hardcore or both then you must have it, but it's no longer being sold in stores and musicans friend no longer has it so good luck. It's crystal clear and hardcore. I got mine in the metallic platium white color and it catches alot of eyes on stage.

Rating of this Washburn product: 5
