What Happened To Washburn Guitars?

[JohnnyGtar]

I was never interested in that brand because I think most of their guitars are butt ugly.

I actually really liked their curved-V design years back. I believe Scott Ian played it for a while, or maybe had a model of his own(?).

OK here we go.

Agree. Always thought that Nuno guitar body was ugly. All shaved down in the middle with that weird top horn insert. Not a brand I’ve ever considered,

I have lusted after those southern cross models for years…

I guess they’re solar now? Maybe? I don’t know….

One of the guys from Washburn now is a co-owner of solar

Me too. For sooo long. My dad found it in a used guitar shop in Florida. $650 !!!!!!

Not a USA model but it is so much quality, crazy.

I still have a bunch of Mercury's out back somewhere, those were sweet af- like most Grover designs. I have a wg587 I put an ebony board on years ago, should probably put frets on it one of these days lol. Their American stuff was great imo. They are largely forgettable though.

The A-20 was a cool looking guitar.

Seriously?

The cheap mercury stuff is decent?
