I'm thinking about selling my Les Paul and picking one of these up. Anyone have any experience with it? Or insight?

Re: Washburn WM526
Well, other than the fact that they aren't even remotely similar, yeah, I can dig them.
Personally I only played the lower end Indonesian(?) ones and they felt real slick and really REALLY fast although their tone was only the generic shred tone.
In short they were designed from the ground up to be the ultimate shred axe. Of course I can always see them being sth more with the right pickup swap
In the end they are almost nothing like a Les Paul so you gotta know which of the two is closer to what you want/like.Originally posted by Blue_Fingers_JayOriginally posted by That90'sGuy -
Re: Washburn WM526
I was on the Washburn site last night and found some in white with Duncans. JB-Jazz, in them. Apparently they were a special run for this store

Re: Washburn WM526
that is sweet! I wonder if that is the set neck tho?? The ones on the Washburn site that have passive pups are bolt on.. Yeah, Ive not been able to get much feedback on them. They got a good review from Guitar one.. Id love to play one.. Im SO far away from being a shredder, I cant justify the expense.. But they look amazing..Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

Sell a LP for one of those? Son, we gotta talk."Completely Conceded Glowing Expert."

Re: Washburn WM526
Again, this is one KICK@SS guitar which should definitely be in the stable of every self-respecting shredder.
That said, this has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with a Les Paul.
So, which of the two are you?

Re: Washburn WM526
I have two les pauls and just cannot get a feel for either. I have found I prefer the longer scale and the way the neck is set into a Gibby just isn't for me. Don't get me wrong I will always hold the Gibby in high regards, I simply don't think it is for me.Originally posted by blueman335 View PostHard Rock - gain on 5 - singing about good times.

Re: Washburn WM526
Blinded, Did you ever get one?
Has anyone played these yet?? I didnt want to start a new thread as I came up with about 4 when I searched, but none have hands on reviews..
Ive played the asian made, bolt on version and find it to be a great playing axe.. So, if this one is that much better, it must be insane!Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

Re: Washburn WM526
LOL! Thought has crossed my mind.. Ive never played one, so I dont know if it would be worth it. Thats why I want feedback so bad.. I am VERY impressed with the WM24V! Thats a bolt on, and I got one for $299. If the WM526 is alot better, then it must be amazing!
I doubt I'll do this without trying one first and I need the sale money for bills..Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

Re: Washburn WM526
I haven't had a chance to get my hands on one. The nearest Washburn dealer is Huntsville, Alabama and that's about a 3 hour drive. I finally bought a Schecter, so I covered my Floyd need although I still want one of these eventually.Hard Rock - gain on 5 - singing about good times.

Re: Washburn WM526
Best shreader guitar on the planet bar none.
blows any thing Jackson has ever done out of the water playability wise!! That super slim neck carbon glass finger board and those Stainless Steel Jumbo frets make this the fastest playing neck on the planet!!
Sorry but for me keep your Less Paul I WILL own one of these at some point!!
These have best playing necks I have had my hands on from any builder at any price PERIOD!
On the white ones with the Duncans that was something Jon over at Funky Munky had built.
Yell at him and see if he has any left http://www.funkymunkymusic.com/index.phpLast edited by Ascension; 02-17-2010, 09:57 PM.Guitars

Re: Washburn WM526
So Richard tell me, Do you like it???

Is it something that a player that doesnt have shred chops can enjoy too? I really like the W24v.Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.
