[72enjoi]

[loljonasfail]

[razorguitar777]

anyone know if you can get a fixed bridge model?

[PoetryEmotion94]

@razorguitar777 i dont know about fixed bridge but the Washburn XM series is very similar with this guitar, the XM PRO2 is a string through body. it has duncan usm pickups. i have one but i swapped out the duncans with emg 81/85.

[razorguitar777]

@PoetryEmotion94 thanks for the info man, haha im sitting here looking at my kramer baretta fx404, and thinking it kinda looks like an old school version of the wm526 haah. nonetheless, thanks for the info brother.

[PoetryEmotion94]

[H0RA]

This really sucks. ALL videos like this when they tryout cool metalguitars they just play boring fucking bullshit when they should play ph4t m3t4l riffs

[xwarlockx69]

i met veil of maya like an 2 hours before i saw them and mark let me hold his guitar(this one) and it was the best feeling guitar ever. he said i could jam it and encouraged me(cool dude) but i was not at his level and it would have been pitiful. since then ive benn wanting one. anyone know how much it runs for normally?

[nealys]

@xwarlockx69

quite frankly its a rather cheap guitar.... here in estonia i could have bought it for about 1500 dollars, but i didnt have enough so i bought the cheaper version for 800 dollars.

[Skultfc91]

2.40 wdf!

Awesome bridge...

[myudasdaksjd]

THE GUITARIST OF VEIL OF MAYA USES THIS GUITAR!!!!!

[giant357]

[Beenyad]

Washburns are really freakin good, especially their USA models

[MetalInstrumentals]

0:12 hes like (...here we go again EMGS...) lol

[Jaso0n1986]

[cjrizzle93]

I LOOOOOOOVE my Vindicator HM!!!! It was worth EVERY penny!

[deathbysilence0]

bull shit i have 39 thumbs up 11 months ago and 7 is on the highest rated wow

[Macsk8ing]

Man, washburn fucking sucks... so does this gay reviwer.

[catsdown]

@Macsk8ing this is a cheap guitar noob, if you dont know "be quiet". washburns are great guitars, u cant talk bad about something only if u own it. I own one washburn n series guitars and they are veery good

[brt927]

@Macsk8ing Obviously you have never played one of their USA made models... They are incredible instruments. Why do you think dime played washburns?

[jallan1407]

@brt927 Are Dean and Washburn related companies? cuz thats all I ever see him playin in his old photos

[dbsk8r92]

@brt927 then the same thing could be said 10 fold for dean because he left washburn for dean after going there from dean.

[tonyjaa89]

[TIT22]

I play a Washburn WE20 loooooooool :PPPPP

great demo !

[caspargrindcore]

batty man!!!!

[MusicMan642]

I think he plays it through a Marshall JCM800, I could be wrong though.

[m4boy]

i would love to have this guitar, but i got the hm wm24v

[TonyShneeble]

who ever says paul cant play needs to go suck lady gaga's dick and finger jb's pussy

[metalmusiqcrzy]

u think they would have top noych mics .almost all guitar reviewed by guitar world sound the same dont judge any of these guitars being demoed on here they all sound to loud or to thin thats because of old equipment .hopefully they will modernize there shit .so each guitar will demoed will show its real and true sound .emg all sound same but in like emg though.oh well.

[demonrule]

@metalmusiqcrzy You, sir, need an education.

[ipwnurnoobsgranny]

i got this guitar when it came out, best decision ever. It was pricey but worth it. The neck it the best thing about this guitar, it just feels fast. Handles any tuning like a champ, not amazing clean, but does it look like its meant for that? no. i looks like a murder weapon, which is what it does best.

[thatcoolG]

dude i think i just jizzed wat kinda amp does he run through?

[sabin3030]

On clean it kinda sound like a low distorted sound

[thatcoolG]

@sabin3030 thats what you get for using emg's they can get crunchy if you start to play with your tone

[rockexpert]

I would love to get 1 but im flat out broke and no1 is hiring:(

[MrL0vableM0nster]

@rockexpert Taco bell is always Hiring.

[rockexpert]

@MrL0vableM0nster Not here every fast food joined is blacked out no racism just fact they won't hire 1 white guy for safety reasons

[MrL0vableM0nster]

@rockexpert Here in NC its almost all Spanish Folks with some Blacks and Hardly ever any Whites.

[rockexpert]

@MrL0vableM0nster I see that too down south. we just live in a bullshit world unfortunately

[xXHellzRejectXx]

-let's hear it on a solo setting- (eyes explode)

[ichicolla]

he looks gay, and he just gave us the finger!!! but he can shred!!!!!!

[galatonim]

0:13 It features *whisper* you' re fired*whisper* yhhhh! 2 Emg humbuckers :)

[xarexenon]

what song is 0:50 ?

[newyearsprayer]

that tremolo picking sure hurts my ears paul.

[poderyujuju]

i want that guitar!!!! like the faceless :DD

[pland441566]

is washburn a good brand?

[BrotherofInfinity]

is it the same guitar marc okubo from veil of maya uses??

[Legatomusic]

@BrotherofInfinity Yea dude.

[Andrewsonfire]

@BrotherofInfinity not any more, marc switch to ibanez.

[tristanadrocks]

at 3:00 is he giving me the middle finger?

[KornmanJLB]

@tristanadrocks lol na he probably doesnt want to hit his fingers on the strings

[MarioSixString]

Gay power taking over shred!

[blitzspeer]

I have this guitar in red and wouldn't trade it for anything else and I've owned PRS,Charvel,Dean,ESP,BCRich,Gi­bson and Fender as well as a few more.I have this one,a James Malone signature V and an A-20 reissue and feel as if my set up is the best I've had in 25 year's of playing.

[mexrilla]

why do they always get these guys to review metal guitars ? as if these guys know anything about metal, its always the same old thrashy shit they play, they need to play some real shit......they should hire me !!

[TrippyTheShroom]

lol i dont know why its just something about it....when i play i seem to stick my middle finger out and when i play in front of someone they'll be like "hey quit flickin me off"..

i dunno..its just a hand position

[galatonim]

0:13 hhhhhhhhhh 0.o

[crossbones911]

ha ha hes flicking us off when he shreds

[anarki2004]

My Washburn HM-80 kicks this guitar's ass. Just thought I would share. If you don't believe me, well, I dunno...I guess that's your choice. The proof is in the pudding.

[TalTxD]

the guy is amazing guitar player.

[brsbckr]

there's a washburn wm24v pro at worldmusicsupply . com that looks just like the wm526, are those guitars the same??

[BlackenedHorseman]

@brsbckr They could be different. The WM526 has neck-through construction, and is handcrafted in the USA custom shop, while the WM24VPRO is a guitar that apparently is only sold by WorldMusicSupply. I don't know if it is handcrafted at the custom shop or if it is neck through. DO NOT CONFUSE WM24V WITH WM24VPRO! WM24V has Randall pickups, licensed Floyd Rose, and bolt on neck. However, you must find out if the PRO model is neck through and handcrafted. If it is, WM526 is the same.

[guitaristguy20]

@BlackenedHorseman Tee USA WM-526 has a set neck. I own one. Non of the wm's are neck thru.

[blitzspeer]

I have a red one and love that guitar!Washburn owned by U.S.Music corp.owner's of Parker,Hagstrom,Randall amplification and the cheaper brand's like Jay Turser and Oscar Scmidt.This Washburn is an amazing guiter because of the tones and staying in tune;I have divebombed over and over and doesn't wack out!I also own the new James Malone vindicator;some of the best money I ever spent and an A-20 I will never part with.I've owned PRS,ESP,Dean,BC Rich and Ibanez in the last 24 year's.Washburn #1!!!

[JulianTheGuitarist]

Wow Paul actually shreds in this video, kudos to you Paul....kudos to you..

[129jasaxos]

does it have a 25.5 scale length

[vKiLLBoTv]

this guy is really good, great guitar btw

[bungmasterteddybear]

wow so i was hoping this guitar would be somewhere between 800 and 1000. not 1700and 2500. but it is fuckin sweeeet

[Mattus1111]

Michael Keene plays one!

[MrIKTPQ4life]

@Mattus1111 SO DOES MARC OKUBO!

[rufiorocksmysocks]

holy shit he's amazing

[nicolasgeldhof]

damn, that guitar looks nice :p

[sonicboomslipknot]

they have the wm24pro on world music supply for $399.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[metalguitartf]

@thewhoissuperb24 thats because his amp dosnt have a lot of headroom

[franjul08]

FIRST SONG NAME?

please

[XxSconeManxX]

@franjul08

They're just Paul's original jams dude, it's so GW doesn't have to worry about copyright bullshit.

[dieandgoaway]

@franjul08

[urdumbfoo]

paul needs to join a band

[JohnGangster2009]

the apoxy fingerboard is cool, but why dont they just use ebony?

[HelloKittyIsMyGod]

to be cool :)

[Nindzo]

@JohnGangster2009 If I'm not mistaken they use apoxy instead of ebony because apoxy doesn't wear as much... So in the end you have a fretboard that can last basically forever ;)

[JohnGangster2009]

@Nindzo oh thats cool, i just like the sound of an ebony fretboard for some reason it just sounds cooler to me although i believe you that it is better so thanks

[franjul08]

0:48 to 1:37

Song Name Please

[Unseenbass]

My brother owns one of these, in a crazy-ass metallic green the Washburn Custom Shop did for him ala Micheal Keene.  It stood up to both of my USA PRS Custom 22 and 24s. I wanted to hate it but it was an excellent sounding and playing guitar....for metal. :D

[W3ldnstyl3]

i want a green one like Michael Keene's!

[MikeNov042]

Pleas.

What is the name of the song played first?

[thumbvideos123]

paul knows all the styles of music!

and god thats a great guitar.

[azraelxx]

PAUL YOURE THE BEST!!!!!!

[MetalManiac666ism]

omg dude u have no idea how bad i want this guitar and what i would do to have it, id do anything lol, this is my dream guitar lol

[DobbyDingo]

@MetalManiac666ism hey bro, at worldmusicsupply i just saw they have a WM24VPRO for $470.00 It has emg's and a real floyd rose in this Black colorway.

[tjbwhatshisface]

dude same here ive been lookin at this since the holiday edition of guitar player magazine but i want the red

[LiloHart]

best guitar ive ever played! i own one in green they dont make them in green anymore! bad ass guitar but now there pretty expensive! if u get a chance get it

[MaSt3rDeBaTeR]

when he does the solo setting he also gives us the big FUCK YOU with his picking hand.

[2112guitarplayer]

lol

[moronslave]

@MaSt3rDeBaTeR that's a Kirk Hammett style haha :)

[TheFriendlyfinger]

Sounds like bollockywank clean. Not too bad with overdrive, though.

[skatedude724]

you think this is a heavy guitar?

[Dukes0FVaida]

whats the first dong that he plays? any one knows?

[allrockirwin23]

its just an improvisation

[ArtfulDomino]

i have a washburn, video of it on my channel

[my3user3isnt3stupid]

clean sounds horrible..

did he say it was a set neck?...i always thought neck thru was better for shred..all just my opinion though.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

see around 1:30 when he flipped a switch. It sounded great for those moment when there was no treble.

[deathbysilence0]

who cares if hes gay! he can play thats what matters

[klummster88]

@deathbysilence0 is Paul actually gay? Or did someone just say he was? O_O

[Macsk8ing]

@deathbysilence0 You must be fucking gay too...

[jamaicanhustla22]

so wut if he gay he shreds harder than u can

[AAlexandrosO]

@jamaicanhustla22 

[toyakz312]

yeah he's gay but damn he plays great!

[IHaZaRDx]

i really like this guitar, i wanna get it once i get good enough, can anyone recommend a amp to go with it?

[Cairnivore]

mesa boogie road king

[AnathemusVideos]

For once I have to give paul credit for not adding an endless amount of stupid effects and echo that sounds like I'm hearing the grouch from sesame street take heroin and go bezerk inside his trash can

[fordgt402]

Do they have inlays for this version?

[deathcorepillar]

Listen to the Faceless Solo's

Micheal Keene plays with the WM 526

[Maason15666]

@deathcorepillar

the Faceless is the sickest technical death metal there is, hands down. Keene is sick, and so is Jones.

[deathcorepillar]

It's a matter of taste

[fordgt402]

Has anyone here bought this guitar yet?

Ive read reviews which doesnt sounds good like fretboard crack from review sites.This is the guitar that im looking forward to ,i hope those defects are rare.

[ganGaZION]

me too....

[tera66666]

Great guitar \m/

[StaulkHolm]

idont like his riffs or clean playing but he does great solos.

[djfrank203]

jesus christ, i tought i could have gotten this for christmas or somethung, that guitar is like my moms whole paycheck in a month

[Shink5]

unfortunatly its expensive as hell

[vithaj92]

Tro to imagine how much a similar spec Gibson would cost... probably around 1 billion dollars XD, so with that in mind, this thing is kinda cheap!

[Shink5]

yeah but i could get a ESP which [most likely] has better craftsmanship and costs way less . but yeah i agree Gibson are fucking assholes when it comes to price , and craftsmanship and specs:)

[vithaj92]

So ESP guitars are even better? Good to know.

[Shink5]

Yeah ESP and even Ltd are way better

[Baugin1]

@Shink5

I think it sounds way better than ESP.

[ChrisBMichels]

Guitars are a matter of preference and only as far as playability (Which is completely personal to each guitarist) and amount of sustain (Which is the product of materials used is construction and how their applied in design). The actual sounds that are made are from the pups, effects and amps.

[XxSconeManxX]

Woods do make a notable difference in sound.

[ChrisBMichels]

Yeah, but only as far as tone and that's also just a matter of preference and can be attained through effects and amps as well.

[XxSconeManxX]

True, woods and such matter much more on basses than they do on guitars.

[guitaristguy20]

Just picked one up for $1499 in satin black. Not to bad a price for a USA custom shop guitar if you ask me. ESP sells korean made Ltds for upto $1249...and that sure dont come from a custom shop...more like the sweat shop. Washburn is pure value! I do own a Real ESP made in japan ..but that cost 2800$. Again Washburn = Big bang for you buck.

[RedeemedConfessions]

would puttin inlays on it slow down playability?

[kabloogle]

Not really, as long as the person puttin them in knew what they were doin. And the playability speed with this guitar is more about how the fret board will never wear down.

[imacrackhead1]

damn, hes so good he can give the finger and shred at the same time

[sk8kid1199]

holy carbon glass?? i wish i got that

[Blacksage959]

The dude was playing country and he looks like he has downsyndrom lol i like the guitar though. XD

[mrevolutions23]

OMG! dude! that was crazy amazing good! love the guitar, just love it! its great on clean (it has that clean sound im lookin 4) and is just as good if not better on high gain!

its cool that they used a new type of fingerboard! more guitars should experiment with different materials and things like they did on this guitar!

[polloramirez]

in my opinion it breaks up too easy but the metal setting is awesom \m/

[hahawzz]

very very nice guitar :)

[AndrewX66]

Can somebody how to do that thing he does on 3:15? Please. Its bothering how I can't find out how to do it. Thanks guys! :)

[rockwizclown]

really? it's just a bend

[Kingddd333]

@AndrewX66 He's just bending the strings and then while having that string still bent, he strikes a differnet note on a different string.

[hammerVsface5150]

if only i had the money

[mymama12314]

does anyone notice that paul doesnt do any sweep picking?

[AhKillYu]

i fuckinggg LOVE the fretboard, its almost more shiney then the gloss black finish of the guitar itself

[beer4life101]

nice one paul i believe in you

[sethholmesv1]

paul really sucks at metal riffing...

[LtGenTrooper]

agreed. he really isnt top notch on the riffing but his shred solo work is awesome!

[sethholmesv1]

actally... his shredding isnt that great either...

[LtGenTrooper]

eh its personal opinion really i guess. paul is more fit for the van halen style stuff.

[sethholmesv1]

you're right... but evh was extremely overrated

petrucci, vai, satriani, morse...

with guitarists like that, EVH doesnt deserve the fame that he has

[LtGenTrooper]

yea i mean evh is coola dn all but theres a hell of a lot of people better than him. vai, satch, petrucci, alex skolnick, gilbert, jason becker, gilmour, shawn lane, friedman, gary moore, shenker, zappa, etc...

[sethholmesv1]

gilbert

[LtGenTrooper]

i mentioned gilbert

[sethholmesv1]

he deserved two mentions lol

[LtGenTrooper]

ahhh true true haha

[beer4life101]

imo zakk,mustaine,pat o'brien,rob barrett,abbath doom occulta,dimebag, and chuck schuldiner

[LtGenTrooper]

most definitely! all of them are great! only one im not really super familiar with is rob barrett

[metalhead032395]

Rob Barrett is from Cannibal Corpse. He and Pat O'Brien are AMAZING
