Washburn USA Custom Sonic 7 String

OK I just got my Washburn in and as promised here is a quick review. Please be forwarned that my review will not be as detailed as others.


FEATURES:9.7
2001 Made in USA Limited Edition Washburn Custom Shop 7 String new NOS w/5 way selector, 2 volume 1 tone, dual Seymour Duncan Invader humbucker pick ups, mahagony body, maple neck, 22 jumbo frets with rosewood board with the Buzz Feiten system. 18:1 Grover tuners. Licsensed Floyd.
Industrial Silver Finish w/ a metallic purple border. Wierd shape but its well balanced ...also the most comfortable guitar I have for sitting.
Washburn fitted aluminium flight case. Oh the reason I'm giving it a 9.7 is because the volume controls through me for a loop, I always reach for the nearest one, but that controls the neck pups...I know, I know but hey!

SOUND 9.9

OK first off, when I got this guitar in, it wasn't set up at all...the trem was on an angle and the...

Oh thanks, I've heard of Ed, and I've also heard of most peoples thoughts on Ed, I guess I'm a little slow...

haha, no worries. Ed's a well known hater of anything without a "deep tenion neck," whatever the fuck that means.

LMFAO No doubt.

That dude is Leprechaun, I tell you. "Where's me deep tenion neck?! ARRGH!"

Thread Resurrection:

I can't recommend these guitars enough, especially for those looking for something a little different in a 7 string. They play great, sound great, and usually go for cheap on evilBay. I've had mine for nearly two years now, and it's still just as awesome. If only I didn't have this Jackson thing that I play most of the time...

Here, here, I love the neck and they are as solid as a rock. Mine gets played most of the time (practise, writing, etc)

I had one of these as well. I liked it, but I felt the neck was way too uncomfortable compared to just about every other 7-string ive ever played - Ibanez, USA BC Rich, anything. It sure did sound and look great though. It came with a Duncan Distortion/59 instead of dual Invaders like my Sonic 6 has.

Here is a pic of mine:

That's hilarious. You sold that on eBay, right? I think that's the one I have...

I don't find the neck uncomfortable at all - it's hardly wizard-thin, but it fits my hand nicely...

Edit - I'm almost sure that's the one I have now, unless two have almost exactly the wear patterns on the bridge...

Yes I sold it on eBay, it probably was to you. I've sold a lot of 7s on ebay. I'm happy you like it to be honest, I was worried when I sold it whoever I sold it to wouldn't like it.

My hands aren't that big, so, I mean I could shred all day on the thing, I just didn't like the neck profile as much as some of the other USA 7s I had.

That is really funny though, I'm real happy you love it.

Lemme see if I can find the feedback you left me for the guitar lol.

Positive feedback rating Item exactly as described, fast shipping, great packing job-would buy from again
