Ergonomic and Unique

Washburn's P3 Custom is an compact, SG-like guitar with two humbuckers and a wonderful feeling body. The P3 features an African Sapele body, rosewood fingerboard, jumbo frets, and a contoured top like a PRS. This guitar feels like how people explain Stratocasters: it just feels right. This guitar is amazingly designed (though most replace the stock EMG pickups) and feels wonderful. A very well-priced average of $600 makes this guitar a uncommon dream.
