Members happy-man Posted November 1, 2007 Members Posted November 1, 2007 Saw another really friggin' green guitar on eBay. I recently got a similar one for $75, but a different model. It's a Washburn D100MCBL and mine's a D10CBL, so the guy on the Washburn forum was right, CBL is secret code for Really Friggin' Green. Question for anyone familiar with a D100M. I used to have one (pawn shop purchase) and it had a rather dull sound, especially the low E and A. Also the intonation was not good high on the neck. My D10 is I believe a laminate spruce top as opposed to laminate hog on the D100M. My D10 is anything but dull, and the intonation up the neck is great. Both had the same uncompensated saddle. I was looking for a cheap 'keep at work' guitar and initially I wasn't going to consider this one since I'd be paying at least as much for it as I did for my D10 and I wasn't crazy about my D100. But maybe it was just luck (or unluck) of the draw. Anyone with a D100M? Dull sound? Intonation? Scott O
Members jd-drafter Posted November 1, 2007 Members Posted November 1, 2007 i see the beginning of an obsession here... the formation of the Really Frikkin' Green Guitar Club- or the RFGGC- you will now sell your very soul to posses really flippin' green gear... no longer satisfied with good old GAS- you have now moved on to RFGGAS- also known as Really Frikkin' Green GAS... 8^) hey all my car's and quads are red... i have no room to talk- it's my color of fate... i wish you success in your new pursuit of green happiness... when will you be opening happy man's home for wayward really green guitar's? 8^) all in good humor- never had the guitar you asked about- best of luck-
Members missedmyexit Posted November 1, 2007 Members Posted November 1, 2007 My father owns what if my memory serves me correctly is a 100S. I say he owns it but he never learned how to play so it sits there getting played and maintained by me when I am over the house. I've always been really impressed with the tone of this thing.
Members Simon76 Posted November 1, 2007 Members Posted November 1, 2007 A favorite green git would be an Emeraldx5. http://www.emeraldlife.com And, who wouldn't like a green Gretch Countryclub. And of course you need a green Carvin AG100D amp. With a matching green extension speaker.

Members brahmz118 Posted November 1, 2007 Members Posted November 1, 2007 I have an Emerald 12-string with the shimmery green carbon fiber weave. I've been meaning to take better quality pictures, but you can see the pattern fairly well in this one: Also, one of my students has a D100M. I don't find it to be dull necessarily. In comparison with solid spruce top Washburns, it has less volume, but a more trebly / mid-y sound to my ear.
