    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?

    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.

    Got it. Like it. Although my Gretsch has found it's way into my #1 slot

    Probably won't be getting rid of my HB-30 anytime soon. Good for bluesy/jazzy stuff, classic country pickin' and can rawk pretty heavey too. Not a shredder's guitar, but I wouldn't think a semi-hollow would be

    Acoustics:Washburn D10CEQSB, Yamaha FG160E

    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.

    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.

    You wouldn't get an argument from me about that.
    Beats me why anyone would pass up a brand-new, quality-built, full-featured 335/Dot for $399 (Studio model $299)?

    Epidots for everyone!
