1999 Washbun USA Chicago Custom WM-4

[Ascension]

Sick Sick shreadder guitar with a slim super fast neck 6100 Jumbo frets and tone for days. Plays like a real Shreadder with great upper fret access and sounds like a good Les Paul.
My Volvo wagon suddenly overheated and puked out a head gasket yesterday so I'm looking at a major $$ repair and I'm cash strapped. I have to sell something to cover the repair and I know I will regret selling this one but gotta have transport.

Sapphire Blue AAAA Quilt over Honduras Mahogany body and neck rosewood board, all Schaller hardware including the lockers, CTS pots, Custom 8 bridge 59 neck.
Near mint in a Washburn flight case.
$850 shipped in the lower 48.

What this old thangie ?

I might pull this listing as it turned out to NOT be a headgasket but a bad factory radiator cap I had just installed that would not relieve pressure. Never seen that happen before and I'm lucky it didn't really blow something up in the cooling system:smack:. The Thermostat came apart under all the pressure and lucky for me I had a slight leak in a heater control valve that relieved some pressure otherwise BOOM!
Don't even want to think about what engine work on this one would have $ :eyecrazy:

Glad to hear the car isn't dead or needing a heart transplant. Beautiful guitar! Good thing I don't have the cash.

Still got some cooling system gremlins with the Volvo and I have bubbles in the coolant. I am now more and more convinced it has a head gasket leak and my best safe estimate so far is $1700 min on the repair. Looking at the repair manual on this one it's way over my head to do this repair and I don't have the tools if I wanted to. This ain't no pushrod V-8! The disassembly and re assembly of this aluminum split casting 24 valve Double cam head looks like a real bear!
The WM-4 gotta go to fund it and maybe more so watch for other listings. The only bright spot is I bought the car a couple of years back CHEAP enough so I'm still ok on it for $ even if I spend 2K on the repair:naughty:.
BUMP!

Is this guitar a 24.75 inch cale? Set neck or bolt on? Dimensions of neck...?

24.75 scale set neck. The neck profile is a slim D and super fast with a flat board my guess is around a 14 radius and big 6100 Jumbo frets.
