Members Skyforger Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well, if Washburn gear is still as good as it was 25 years ago, I'd say it's gonna be pretty sweet! Can't offer any more info than that, I'm afraid. It's been nine years since I bought a guitar new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woody_in_MN Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 I don't know that particular model - but I've had about 3 or 4 Washburns and have been positively impressed. I recently bought a "new" Idol - has more of the classic SC body shape, and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike Fiasco Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 I think the Mavericks were their models in the 1990s. You can find them in the States really plentifully. They came in HH, SSH, and SSS configurations. I think they're very good guitars for very little money. Which one do you have your eye on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Skyforger Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 Is this the kind of guitar you're looking at? http://appleton-wi.americanlisted.com/music-instruments/washburn-maverick-pro-series-electric-guitar-130-little-chute-wi_17833821.html Google's finding me the big F-all, but judging from the pictures I've seen they don't look too bad.

Members 67mike Posted March 14, 2012 Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 They were steals in the past...but they have gone up in price over the years....so much so, that they aren't even a consideration for me anymore. So, if you can get one cheap...DO IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members harold heckuba Posted March 14, 2012 Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 They are great guitars. Even the cheapest Maverick usually has good hardware and pickups. Great neck on thoseas well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skyforger Posted March 14, 2012 Members Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think Washburn have always been pretty good quality all the way along their product line. Got a late 80s KC-40V. Beaten to {censored} and it has its quirks, but she's still solid. Still plays great, still sounds awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blazingblake Posted March 16, 2012 Members Share Posted March 16, 2012 Washburn has made good guitars for years I have a 2001 WIdl64 its a fine guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Iby Posted March 21, 2021 Members Share Posted March 21, 2021 This needs updating. 2021, my maverick pro bt6 still going perfectly, these guitars are so underrated. All stock except the bridge pu. That is a Duncan trembucker. Sustain is amazing and not "suppose " to be with a free floating floyd. This guitar makes a lot of todays guitars look cheap in the $500 to $1000 range today. Plays and sounds as good or better than my Japanese hhr strat and my 92 Ibanez s540..... this guitar is worth some bucks. These are not to be mistaken for the bt 4 or 2. WAY BETTER. solid mahogany body, fender like chunk neck short scale, higher quality rosewood on fretboard....grover tuners, great guitar. Takes a bit to get use to. Feels like a real peavey usa evh. In a way, heavey for its size. No cheap light wood here. Highly recommended building a relationship with one, because it gets better as time goes on.

Members Skilak Posted April 10, 2021 Members Share Posted April 10, 2021 Bought BT-4 £60, then had to buy any, got BT-10 £200 and now I am getting addicted. On the lookout for BT-9 , but the Billy T is my target. Phenomenal guitars. The sound from BT-10 is huge, massive. In my opinion is kind Les Paul ish. For the money, LP make no sense.
