Re: washburn GAS
That's a bit pricey, but Washburns are great guitars!
The Idol W66? goes pretty cheap on Ebay. Add some Duncans, after you recover from the initial purchase of the guitar, and you'll have a sweet axe.
The great thing about Washburn is that you really get a lot for your money, even new. By the time it hits the used market the seller takes a bad loss, and you WIN!
by the way, is Music123 really Sam Ash in disguise? Just wondering. I just bought a strap from them and get the idea that they're a huge corporation, not just an Ebay store. GC used to be Music Exchange, with those annoying Ebay auctions with a tiny picture and vague description. I'm wondering if Music123 is really Mannys/Sam Ash?
