Washburn WG587 Electric Guitar>any good?

jufob · 05-30-2006, 08:49 PM

I have both the Washburn WG 587V and the X7. I am happy with them both and do not plan to install some other hip or fashionable pickups because they are fine to me as they are. I rather spend my time playing and I have discovered for myself it doesn't really matter what I play on or through anyway...I still sound like me.

The WG 587 stock pickups are pretty nice, but with some decent Dimarzios, it'll scream!

I agree the stock pickups are nice. I probably won't change mine. It's my Ibanez that really needs the help.
As for Deans, every Dean I have tried, 6 or 7 strings, I have really liked. Their 7-string Les Paul looking thing a few years ago was sweet. The 24.75" scale was cool on a 7 string too! I would say that the Dean is worth a try too. I'm sure the neck is way smoother and thinner than the Washburn.

The Dean EVO? I lusted for a 6 string EVO for a while but never knew they made a 7 string til I came to this forum. Now I lust for the 7 string version.

cool, Does the WG587 have alot of fret buzz in the higher frets?

urklvt · 06-20-2006, 07:09 AM

None at all on mine, but it is pretty well set up.

I have a WG587 as well. I through some EVO7s in it and it really helped the sound out. I may switch and throw some other Dimarzios in there. That or I may do some coil tapping.

Either way I think its a nice beginner 7 string

Just got it a week ago , i like it but i need to fix the neck and lower the action
one of my dads friends was messing with it and asked how much one cost i told him to guess and he said 400-500 dollars. The pickups arent bad at all or mabe thats because im a newb. All in all i have no problem with it, if anyone wants a decent guitar to dabble with 7s without spending an arm and a leg its a good guitar

I have the Chinese WG587 (fixed bridge) and I slapped a Dimarzio X2N-7 at the bridge....it turned it into a fukkin beast! I'm really impressed with the fit & finish of this guitar; I think its a great deal. As a 7-string newb though I am wrestling with that low B fret buzz. Any tips??

Might have to ajust the truss rod?
