I've never owned one, but I always heard good things about them. Is it a new or used one that you are considering?

I think Shiner had one until recently. I know all of the guys on the electric side at Washburn liked them. They would do mods to it, but they would mod an $8,000 Gibson if they had one.

I'm not familiar with pricing, so I'm not sure what is a good deal. Is it an ebay/craiglist/local shop or...?

Another forum I frequent It looks fairly decent I have only tried the delta blues models and even they were not that bad for a bolt on neck

Go over to the Washburn electric section and do a search in the electric section. You might be able to get some good info. Did you try Harmony Central?

If you don't get this one, also consider an Epi Dot. You can pick up some good deals on a used one. My Dot is the least expensive of my guitars, but remains my favorite.

Mine was an OE-30. Price was right at about $150 new when I bought it, but with all of CB's sweet electrics around for me to use, I couldn't justify spending money swapping out the pickups for something decent.

I've got one that I really like, tho I don't mainly play electric. (See my avatar - mine's a DL model in amber yellow). I was looking at the OS bolt-on neck (Delta Blues, I think?) cousin when I discovered these. The stock pickups are pretty hot when cranked up, and can give a nice crunch, or you can get nice clean tones. It feels nice and plays nice, and has a nice slim neck - with lots of frets available, given the cutaway and the attachment to the body way up.

Sorry, couldn't find zip code for "SW".

If you need specifics, then "39845"!

Yep! We're the southwest corner of the state. And, if you know anything about the "2 Georgias" (Atlanta and everything else), you'll understand why I affectionately call our area the "butt end of the state"...

One advantage is that Panama City's only 100 miles away, which makes the wife and kiddies happy. And the weather's about the same as Florida. We are seeing a lot of former Florida retirees moving into our area. We have a well-known bass fishing lake (Lake Seminole) at the South end of the county and it has really experienced a LOT of growth in the last few years. Mostly, it has been relocated FL retirees. It's helped the tax base, but made lake property values sky rocket.

Anyway, we like it here. It IS home after all.
