I bought my first wg587 for 780 bucks in 2001. Now they cost 200bucks.
Since your a newb like many of us. Do not adjust the trussrod yourself.
This could lead to neck ruining. Go into a music store have the action setup the way you want it. with a possible frettdress. wich really I dont think you should have to deal with that. Although I had mine done to perfection.
I have a few wg587's and they beat alot out there for a fraction of the price.
Don't listen to anyone who disses washburn they're quality control has remained intact so far over many years with their tight neck pockets no other stock guitar can compare to the shear resonance of this bolt on. Even through all that paint (remember Alder is a tonewood. basswood has nice ok voice it is not strong sounding and it is very soft dents easily and requires lots of filler before finishing you got a better guitar my friend.You have an Alder body). prolly not near as much as the ibanez basswood body filler and paint combo. By the way my wg587's have the stock pickups still . Could you send me a personal message about the sound of those x2n-7 pickups? I currently use emg 81-7 in my other guitars. I even liked the sound of the stockers in my wg587 pretty raunchy. Do the x2n's sound like that dimebag jugga jugga electric blade sound? Also, "this is a professional grade stage-use guitar". I have tune-a-matic with stop tailpeice bridges.

"yeah well I lived in TN @ the time and realy needed the gas money."
Anyway I agree but, I would buy one over 300 dollar 7321 anyday due to the body being made of alder instead of basswood. In fact I would probably buy a tunamatic version one for more than therye asking- over buying a 7321 anyday.

This is a professional quality instrument. I had a fretting maintenance and the action set adjusted by a professional. For 40 dollars. Now I have a durable instrument.They are more solid and take more abuse than your average bolt on neck sevenstring. As the advertisement says I used to throw one in my car everywhere I went it didn't go out of tune. The tuners are not average they have a higher ratio gear. probably due to the lower string having more pull when u pluck it doesn't move the tuner as easily. I use one on stage for some songs. Washburn has intonation done ala earvana. So the guitar sings in tune all the way down the neck.
Right now it has stock pickups. I wanted to know if anyone has tried the dimarzio x2n-7 hot high output pickups and how they sounded. Someone emailed me about them last night. They are pretty heavy sounding and not noisy. Very controllable and nice attack. Be sure to get the tunamatic bridge versions only. Specs are. tunamatic bridge with stop tailpiece, Alder body, bolt on hardrock maple neck, rosewood frettboard, 24 frett, dual humbuckers, 3 way switch, single volume, tone control, and mine has metallic red finish.Also 25.5 " scale.

Hey, I just recently bought a WG587, and I don't really see anything wrong at all with it. My guitarist in my band also has one, but with no LFR and single coil. I think they're pretty nice guitars. They're fairly easy to maintain, and the different pickup settings are fun to toy around with. Pinch harmonics are a bit of a challenge though..
