Has anyone played one of these. I think they look pretty cool, I don't know if you could make use of all those frets.

Re: The washburn shred machine
maybe i'm just an eighties freak but... i like that a lot. remember seeing one in a guitar book i have, except that one had a goofy steve vai handle... though who would say having 36 frets and a crackle paint isn't goofy initially...
must make for an interesting play if nothing else

Re: The washburn shred machine
Yeah Steve Vai used to play a similar one, I'm also not sure how one could fret those last frets. The exact same guitar is for sale here in Holland. It's a lot cheaper here though (and that never happens!), 500 euros I thinkJackson USA '98 Custom Shop KE2 w/ Duncan TB-4 JB(b) & Jazz(n)

Re: The washburn shred machine
Pretty cool retro guitar. I had a similiar guitar in Highschool (G7v I think) back in the late 80's. But mine was a HSS configuration, Torquise Blue with a black pickguard. I replaced all the pickups with duncans.
Washburn guitars are a mixed bag, sometimes they come out with good ones (like the Idol series) and not so good ones.
I do wish Washburn would reissue those wonderbar Tremolos. I always like them and they stayed in tune pretty well. Although they were big and bulky.Gear: 2002 Fender Amer. Strat W/TX Specials

The part about tbeing the only 36 fret axe is BS, though, Iīve seen a few (aAnd actually built a 37 fretter once for a guy that always wanted "one more" )
Originally posted by ankalarThe funny thing is, that's how you make that finish
The fihish is in reality 2 different paints applied, IIRC the top one is water-based acrylic instead of "normal", but I havenīt done a crackle in about 5 years, could be Krylon or similar..... either way, the hardening of the softer top finish causes it to tear because it canīt grab a decent hold of the undercoat. Then the whole thing gets a few coats of clear and is essentially done
BTW, for anyone interested in that auction: Foxyguitars was very recently banned from the J/C Forums (and probably made other eBay blacklists than mine) because of his business practices. For ex. buying Mighty Mite kits and Charvel decals off eBay, and seling them together as a "Unassembled Charvel Pre-Pro Kit", and intentional misrepresentation of a few other non-J/C items..... I donīt think thereīs much that can go wrong on this axe, but you have been warned about the seller.
