Let me put it this way:

I've been playing since 1967.

I have 12 guitars;

7 of the them are Yamahas;

4 of them are Washburns;

1 of them is an Odyssey.

I've owned, and subsequently got rid of, many Fenders and Gibsons.

Bear in mind that my newest guitar was built in the mid-80s.

With that caveat, the only maker that I prefer to Washburn is Yamaha.

'nuff said.

They're pretty good, but you'll wanna replace the pickups. I have a WG-587 I picked up for $200 shipped off Ebay and it plays great but the pickups are pure crap.
