Compared to Washburn WCG25SCE, GPCPA5K is perceived as less comfortable due to its lack of ergonomic features.

Great guitar, amazing plugged!!!
The guitar itself has a beautiful sound, but it is not very loud. Nevertheless, if you plugged it into any amp or PA will blow your mind. Premium pre-amp and with phase inverter... a total beauty.
