The price usually tells a lot about the quality you can expect from a guitar. Don't expect it to play like a 1000€ axe. It's likely to be closer in quality to a 200€ guitar.
Probably an ok guitar but not more is my guess from the specs and price without knowing more about it. -------------------- My bands homepage

Looks very nice and the specs. are ok.
I have never had a chance to play Wilkinson® pickups but appart from that I think it's a good guitar. You should always try guitar before you buy it. The neck is the most important, how comfortable you feel when playing. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

I'm not too sure about the quality of it, but it sure look cool But judging by the specs i would say it's a good buy.

Jose is absolutely right, you should definitely try the guitar. After all you are the one who will play it, so you have to like it.

Like everybody said already - always try before you buy. Yes, it looks nice, and specs are OK, but the most important thing is for you to feel comfortable playing it, and you like how it sounds, both on clean and on distortion.

Hmm I wouldn't buy this guitar without first trying it out..It can be pretty good , but pour too.Its not all in the specs..And I get suspicious especially when I see such good looks of it
Maybe you should go with something more reliable in that price range (with better overall info about the guitar). -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

For good quality budget guitars try washburn they are really great to play and there are some cool looking designs plus you will end up with better pickups as well,
have a look at this beast for example http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/74293 I have had a vintage guitar and to honest the build quality isn't up to much and the stock pickups were a little microphonic so were'nt suited to metal having said that it was way before trevor wilkinson got involved with vintage. but as the others said you need to play a guitar to tell really This post has been edited by Alex Lewis: Oct 13 2008, 07:28 PM -------------------- |

Washburn make superb guitars, both high end and low end guitars. I own 3 Washburn Idols and they are fantastic guitars, they really are. I sold my Gibsons to get a Washburn Custom and as far as I am concerned, they leave Gibson standing when it comes to design and build. -------------------- My Gear Washburn USA Custom Shop Idol, Washburn WI65 Idol, Washburn WI64 Idol, Schecter C-1 Exotic, Schecter C-1 Stealth, Washburn WI66ANC Nick Catanese Signature, 1980s Burny Les Paul, Peavey Wolfgang Standard, Peavey 5150 MKI Combo, Marshall DSL 201, Morely Mark Tremonti Wah, Decimater Noise Gate, Zoom G2 1.u, Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster, Basses: Fender Jazz Bass, Fender Precision, Warwick Corvette 5 String |
