Yeah, went down. The washburn is 99 bucks, but the design is those which is not sellable type, and also is a paste-on front design. The paste-on on the headstock is a bit lifted at the corner, danger of peeling off in future.
Other than that it's very worth the money as a first guitar. It's practically at throw away price. The Epi seems to be a new batch, looks quite ok to get, gives davis a run for his mony.
Beginners paradise, all beginners can buy something there, cheap amps too.
Other than that, mainly to clear old and less desirable stocks. DOD pedals are definately very old stock clearance. If you like them, sure can get at 50 bucks, but I feel the tone of this brand is not really good.
