My guitars are a Washburn N4 from 1994 and a Gibson SG Special from 2011. I’ve been pretty happy with both and I haven’t bought a guitar since 2011. I definitely wasn’t planning on buying a new guitar, but my band mate wanted to buy a second guitar for backup, so we went to a local store to test a few he had in mind. He plays a Washburn N2 from 1995 and he wanted something similar but more modern. We tested a few guitars, but the moment this one fell on our lap, we immediately fell in love with it. A similar power and grit to the Bill Lawrence L-500XL pickup on our Washburns, but more modern sounding and much better sounding. So, my band mate brought the white one home. Two months went by where I couldn’t stop thinking about the guitar, specially because he would let me play it in the rehearsals. When I finally made up my mind and went back to the store to finally grab one, it was no longer available, so fortunately Thomann still had it in stock, so I ordered the black one. It’s an incredible guitar, it’s beautiful both in white and in black and makes everything sound even better. I highly recommend it.
