So, I sold off my beloved EVH 5150III 50w. While it's still one of my favorite amps, my gas for a Friedman PT-20 has reached epic proportions & it was time to act. Given that I spent 95% of my time on Ch2 (the brown sound) of the 5150III, I really enjoyed the responsiveness of a great, singular...
For every gigging musician, you have your "go to" show guitars & the ones that gather dust at the house. I recently moved to a much smaller house & with that, my music room is about half the size of my old room. So, it was time to clear out some of the dust gatherers & put that cash towards a...
Here's my BC Rich Gunslinger sweatshop special. Got it used for $250. Once I set it up and slapped in a Dimarzio Evolution, this sucker is an absolute beast.
Behind it is my Washburn PXS297FR. A 7-string, 29 fret lord of all things excessive. :lol:
I own two.
1. Vintage sunburst modified with a Floyd Rose, Schaller locking tuners and SD pickups
2. Royal Blue stock

It's based off the EC-series 29 & 36 fret...
Yeah, I prefer brighter colored guitars, but what the heck, it has all the primary features. Maybe I'll have it refinished one day.
The neck pickup, given its positioning, does sound like a typical neck pup on 22-24 fret fiddles. As expected, it's like a mix of a neck/middle sound. Still...

My bridge plate is stamped "Special," but mine doesn't have the crappy zinc alloy sustain block found on the Specials. Instead, it has the nickel plated brass block found on the 1000/Pro models. So, a hybrid? Either way, it's REALLY nice.
The really are. Totally recommended.
Flashback over 20 years ago, I fell in love with my old guitarist's Washburn EC36. I have been obsessing over those since. In 1997, 7-strings became my primary instrument. Since, I've always said that if Washburn ever made an EC style guitar (i.e. 29 or 36 frets with the Stephens Extended...
