@izotz

I used sh4, it sounds a bit more modern than stock pickup.

[RowenCx4]

these are great gutiars.

[dime4life99]

fucking sweet dude

[jp6l6]

To me, the bridge pickup (SD Custom 5) isn't a good choice. It's a ceramic one and I'd prefer an alnico. Of course that's just a question of taste but I'd like to know if the mahogany body and the maple table are really massive ?

[guitar0deals]

As far as I can judge its not so heavy weighted, at least that specific guitar which I had. Compared to old greco lp of my friend this washburn was somewhat lighter. But it is definetely heavier than ordinary strat-like guitar.

[dime4life99]

@jp6l6 your a fucking retard

[jp6l6]

@dime4life99 Why and what else ?

[macrockdog]

RATT lame ? Ratt fucking rules, . . by the way the washburn is so nice to play. i have a WI 66 Pro to and is´t my favorite one . keep on rockin´

[stevieVantanna]

what scale is it? 24.5?

[guitar0deals]

24.75"

[kungfuruckus]

great sound, and sharp playing!

[petrpumpkineater]

great job playing! too bad this song is lame  :D But seriously, you should use your talents for good, not evil...

[guitar0deals]

Thanks. Song is not perfect, but nobody is))

[Rushworshiper92]

I got the 45....yes I know its not as good but I put Zakk wyld EMG's in it and sounds Amazing for metal. I also love to play this song!

[BUBBASIMS]

Actually the WI45 is the exact same guitar as the 66. The only difference is that the 66 comes stock with a $160 pair of Seymour Duncans

[tubsucks]

@BUBBASIMS not quite.. at least not for all of them. some of the 66 pro's have a push pull for the vcc to turn it on or off now. so thats the other difference

[guitar0deals]

Thanks for comment. I checked out your video, white wi45 looks great! By the way, it looks like there is ebony fingerboard though it should be rosewood)

[hamamaamiia]

amazing guitar ,very pretty and great sound !

[liamferg2309]

amazing cover!!!!! can't wait to get this mofo' (the guitar i mean)

[kosmosleha]

ti Russkiy? :)

[guitar0deals]

yep)

[jp6l6]

Are there tone controls on these models ? If these feature two VCC and two volumes, how to cut some treble ?

[guitar0deals]

I think it should be 'sunburst', but Im not 100% sure how exactly washburn call it.

[TheHorseDontCare]

What is that color called?

[SuperMarw]

Its called CRB (Caramel Burst ). Sometimes also QCRB (Quilted Caramel Burst). Sweet color! Love it

[blacksabbath919]

and anything else that u used plz list, also umm did u change anything about the guitar?

[guitar0deals]

I use "ostap custom" 18watt amplifier - it is alltube handmade amp by russian craftsman Kirill Ostapov. Cab is 1*12 with celestion greenback. As for guitar - I just replace stock tb11 with sh4 humbucker. That's all equip I use here)

[blacksabbath919]

m8 qwhat amp did u use?

[tkost052]

what is the name of this song?

[guitar0deals]

pls check description of the video

[zwan94]

This sounds great!

[88mpny]

cool. i am thinking about buying this guitar. i own a LP classic. what do you think about the VCC. as you were saying its not saturated like others due to the custom custom being more rock and roll. ive heard complaints about the VCC but i also understand that every guitarist has different needs. i play metal like you ratt and tesla, dokken megadeth/metallica and such. also what do you think about the build quality?

[guitar0deals]

Thanks. I have to say that personally I have found VVC in some way useless for my purposes so I always kept it in 'humbucker mode'. For me low gain/crunch or something like SRV stuff sounds better in neck+bridge humbuckers mode, hi gain riiffs - on the bridge and clean sound great in any case :)

As for build quality - I wasn't able to find any defect, so I think it is good enough.

[guitar0deals]

As for bridge pickup - on this record it is actually sh4 in the bridge. Sh4 gives a bit more solid palm mute for riffs but the difference is not so crucial for my ears.

[riverak100]

How are you liking that guitar? How long have you had it? Does it stay in tune well?

[guitar0deals]

Thanks for commenting.

I owned this guitar about 6 months and was happy with how it sounds, may be not so rich and 'saturated' as japan lp replicas like greco but still solid enough for me. Finally I found that what superstrat form just suits me better than lp))

My expirience shows that it stays in tune well if tuned properly (you know, when tuning a string you check that pitch is correct after you bend it).

[riverak100]

Nice
