Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is actually NOT a Washburn, it's a "LYON by Washburn".I bought mine for $88, how could I go wrong?Let me count the ways.
1. It appears that there are minor flaws in every piece of this guitar.It's my theory that Washburn sends all their material defects to the Lyon factory in China.Well, maybe not, but it's this type of product association that can ruin a company's brand.
2. I've tweaked every aspect of this guitar...Replaced the pickups with fat-strats.Dressed the frets.Locked down the cheesy trem.Re-soldered all pots and connectors.All these were necessary, and they all had a positive effect but...
3. I'm not sure what wood they used, but it's very lightweight. There is no mass density to this instrument, therefore no sustain.
This was a good project guitar to figure out how to modify them and work on them.You know, take it apart, put it back together.But as a gigging instrument, it will never, ever do.Unless you're a guitar-smashing thrash metal wannabe.
If you want something cheap for your non-musician kid as a birthday or Christmas present to see if they have any aptitude or desire, then perhaps it's good for that.If they do like it, they'll be asking for a real guitar within a year.
