first: either remove strings or loosen them all the way and remove the neck by way of the four screws. Then add a shim the thickness of matchbook paper just after the two screws closest to the neck pickup. Make sure it is only wide and long enough to fill the space after the two screw holes so the neck can use it to straighten it out. Its an easy fix if you mess up because it doesnt involve electronics or anything. message me for questions!
either a SS-40 or SS-80..SS-40 was cheaper import series.SS-8- had schaller floyd and tuners,poplar body,SeymourDuncan JB Trembuckers.If your tremelo is a Scahller it the SS-80/If not its the SS-40.Poplar body with a cheaper floyd copy and there washburn eliminator pickups
WOW .. I really enjoyed this tape .. it has a great sound and I loved the description. I was just trying to find out more about Washburn as it was mentioned in a blog.
I own a washburn and yeah they're cheap. I got a Washburn Skull. Very limited production sounds and feels like a Les Paul kinda. Sounds good but you do lose alot of clarity with the pickups and they're not durable at all the neck warped just from being in a basment that really wasn't all that cold my other 6 guitars faired it no problem.
There around and really don't bring much I've seen them for around 350.00 400.00 mostly on-line guitar shops.I saw one in a music store about 5 years ago for 250.00
Carvin have the best necks in the world! If you dont believe me try one! Anyway, might would to adj the truss rod to get the action down to a acceptable level. nice tremelo.
Yeah- if you like playing middle of the road dad rock that is. I have a washburn pro 50 fe loaded with emg's and it would kill any fender for playing metal on.
Most Guy's say EMG's are a little on the "hot side" everybodys fallen into the 81/ 85 setup but thing is you loose clarity and definition.Just my opinion......peace
It is a ss80, I have had one for over 5 years and it's my maine axe,but i did put dimarezo super distoration in the bridge and a paf pro in the neck. I love the neck it's fast as hell with the right action( take strings all the way down to the frets and then a half turn up. Mine has a floyd so you can lower each sadle if needed(try that). I love this guitar more then my $3,000 prs and $1,500 wolfgang I bougt on ebay.Get the kinks worked out and you will love it. Good Luck.
By the way ..what is the song you were playing when you first turned up the distortion? I know i've heard it but I can't put my finger on it..plus I want to learn it now..hehe.
Hey bro..I have a similar git..a ss/40. Looks almost exactly like the one you have except yours headstock looks more like fender headstock. Mine has the fender type shape but a little more rounded than yours. The only other difference I see is that yours had abalone dots while mine has black dots which makes me think yours is a ss/80 or even an ss/100 model. Also bro ...you probably need a pro set up ..mine plays awesome w/ very low action w/ no fret buzz.
man, i wish i'd find a steve stevens-signature in my basement...! :D
is it yours now, so did you buy it?
oh, by the way, have you ever played a gibson explorer? their necks are slightly thicker than the les paul studios, so i would be interested in playing this washburn, just for comparison. sweet video!
MParseface38: Thanks for posting! I don´t own it,doesn´t suit my style,but he doesn´t need it,so it´s going to stay here for a while..Never played an explorer,but if the necks are alike..they are Very Hard to play!!The sound is great,the pickups are JB´s.But I´m not gonna use it.I prefer my Standard. Cheers
I'd give you a 100 bucks for it. wink wink.

To solve your action problem you want to

They're just overcompressed... cover up sloppy playing pretty well. You have no idea how many EMG players can't play on anything else.
shred5 3 years ago
I agree with you 100%
flyinbryan63 3 years ago
If you like playing blues and don't need 24 frets, low action, a large radius (flat neck for low action), a floyd, or humbuckers or a big tone.

juca, how about selling this guitar if you don't like it, I like them and have an SS80 that I ordered from Washburn back in 1993.
Check out Wilkipedia under Steve Stevens, I updated that site with Washburn info.The double adjustable truss rod makes yours an SS80. Dave
