Maybe you are a collector seeking to build your collection. Maybe you are a parent who is contemplating buying your child his or her first instrument. No matter how you came to this article you should know that it pays to do your research and it is my hope that this article will help you get started.
Please remember that these are only my opinions. I have no affiliation with Washburn. I am just a fan of their guitars. If you take my advice, be aware that you are doing so at your own risk and do not complain to me if you don't like your new guitar. Doing your research and testing out the guitar before you buy is the most surefire way to get a guitar you are going to be happy with. But because you are reading this article, I think you probably already know that. Without further ado... Reasons to buy a Washburn guitar.
1. Washburn makes both electric and acoustic guitars. Whereas other companies such as Fender and Gibson may be more famous for their electric guitars, Washburn seems to put their production effort equally into both the electric and acoustic guitar market.
2. VCC. This stands for voice contour control. Voice contour control allows the guitarist to switch back and forth between a dual-coil humbucker sound and a single coil sound with the flip of a switch. VCC is featured on most Washburn guitars.
3. Buzz Feiten Tuning System. The Buzz Feiten Tuning System is a custom designed nut and saddle that allow for correction of intonation problems associated with the Western tuning system. The BF tuning system comes standard on most Washburns.
4. Stephen's Extended Cutaway. Stephen's extended cutaway is a specially designed bolt-on neck joint that allows easier access to the higher frets. Stephen's extended cutaway comes standard on most Washburns.
5. Nuno Bettencourt and Dimebag Darrel are two of the many notable professional guitarists to use Washburn guitars.
I hope that this article successfully explained some of Washburn's characteristic features. If you want to buy a Washburn guitar, I encourage you to surf the web for great deals. Washburn is not notorious for making overpriced guitars and I bet you can find some great deals if you look around.
