This is a great guitar for those Rock tunes

Fisrt, before hand, let me said that I'm not go with that thing about the Rename and price of big names, I like to try cheap products and see if they work, if they work, tha's OK. I don't care about labels. Most of my equipament are from cheap and small manufacters. I love this guitar, to me fells like a strat on steroids, heavier and more powerfull, got a nice clean sound and great on distortion even with the stock pickups. The body is similar to strats but in mahogny wood and the neck is the same on the strats. If you enjoy play the playbility on the strats, you will love this guitar. We get more power from the Humbuckers pickups, lower action, easy to intonate and adjust the truss rod because (easy acess), the tuners are great too. Personaly I enjoy play strats but I end up acidentaly change the pick ups selector or turn the volume knob down but with this guitar I fell like I'm playing a strat without that annoying accidental changes and ready to go Heavier to Metal zone if needed.

Best guitar i've played. Ever.

This guitar makes me want to play it. I have it tuned and set up for BEADF#B. The pickups are surprisingly clear and articulate when distorted, and the coil split adds an insane amount of depth. It plays better than my tele AND my Eastwood, which cost just under quadruple what i payed for the Washburn. Its very light too, which is a huge thumbs up.

A solid, good-sounding, versatile guitar.

The pups are somewhat weak, but nothing to worry about considering the going price of these guitars. The intonation is very good. She's built well also, mine survived a car wreck and still was working. Smooth action, easy playability, boasting easy reach to all 24 frets. A really great starter guitar.
