And by "it" I mean a Washburn guitar. You might have read in another thread that I just bought one, a Washburn G30/G40, but I ask this question because it is a guitar that is priced as low as $130 (I got mine for that much before tax), it has a solid top, beautiful wood coloration and grain, and the best sound that I have heard for guitar under $400. Granted I never played an Alvarez, but everyone thinks mine cost around $500. Just trying to get feedback on it and to let someone who needs a great sounding guitar for a little price.

peace

My dad owns one. I play it a lot. I like it, but the one he has feels really fake to me. It feels really plasticy nexts to the Guild he owns. It's a good sounding guitar though.

Hmm...Maybe I haven't played enough guitars, but mine doesn't seem fake to me. You probably have played more than I have, so I'll take your word on it. I think that the strings it comes with are horrible, and the frets are too high (interferes with sliding). The sound of it is so rich in tone tho, yum.

Well like I mentioned I also play a Guild from the 70's and and that thing is the shiznat. But all around the Washburn I have is nice.

I will so not contest that at all...Guilds are the shiznat...my Madeira (Guild import) was from the mid 70's, I gotta for $50 and shoulda paid $500. Guild knows how to make a gee tar...
