washburn guitars?

[keithC]

hi.. i was eyeing some washburn guitars... was wondering if the korean build ones (theres one n2 model in sweelee) are reliable? i know the US made ones are really good, priced at 4-5k, but wonder if the 600-700 ones are worth the money?

looking for a really smooth, guitar with superb playability... at a reasonable price too, actually, i'd prefer a H-S-S config or a H-S-H, as it would mean more versatility..

would appreciate help from pros out there, thanks

i used to own a korean n2, but quality wise definitely usa. well, u get what u pay for.. i believe my old korean n2 does not spot a bill lawrence pickup and a push pull vol pot.. and u might realise u'll miss the tone knob alot :lol:

but mines a different colour & MIK
it kinda feels like an SG to me.

someone once told me tht Cort and Washburn are very good brands but overlooked by many.

im-jk is right, there washburns and cort do have good guitars. however. u gotta becareful as i found some of the quality not consistent. try them out before u buy. coz theres a good chance that another piece of the same model will play better

oh, haha okay.. yeah i got a cort acoustic also... but well it doesn suit my amp, has this huge buzzing sound. guess i'll need an acoustic amp?
thing is, it has a fishman pickup... bought it 2nd hand at $220..

ok, guess korean ones must try more.. haha.
