Washburn Electric Guitar Pack

This guitar i have owned for 2 years and it doesnt always sound good. plus every time i pick it up it has to be re-tuned and i have tried putting new strings and everything on it but it still has to be retuned every time its picked up which is annoying but all other things 5 star. (SAVE UP FOR A MORE EXPENSIVE ONE!)

This is a pretty decent guitar under $100. I got it for chistmas almost 3 years ago and its still in one piece. I've never had any problems with it in the past and it still works well now. Although it is a decent guitar i would only recomend it for practice. It is in no way shape or form a performace guitar. Washburn Electric Guitar Pack

This is actually NOT a Washburn, it's a "LYON by Washburn". I bought mine for $88, how could I go wrong? Let me count the ways. 1. It appears that there are minor flaws in every piece of this guitar. It's my theory that Washburn sends all their material defects to the Lyon factory in China. Well, maybe not, but it's this type of product association that can ruin a company's brand. 2. I've tweaked every aspect of this guitar...Replaced the pickups with fat-strats. Dressed the frets. Locked down the cheesy trem. Re-soldered all pots and connectors. All these were necessary, and they all had a positive effect but... 3. I'm not sure what wood they used, but it's very lightweight. There is no mass density to this instrument, therefore no sustain. This was a good project guitar to figure out how to modify them and work on them. You know, take it apart, put it back together. But as a gigging instrument, it will never, ever do. Unless you're a guitar-smashing thrash metal wannabe. If you want something cheap for your non-musician kid as a birthday or Christmas present to see if they have any aptitude or desire, then perhaps it's good for that. If they do like it, they'll be asking for a real guitar within a year.
