Welcome.
Don't forget to pay the Washburn immigrant tax. See Robert for that.
Hi all. I've been lurking in the shadows for several weeks. After seeing a lot of familiar names, I decided (with a prod from Strumsalot) to introduce myself. I go by the name of Murph, I live in southeastern Wisconsin. I'm retired so I find time to see if I can reintroduce myself to my guitars. My first guitar was a Fender accoustic. I gave my electric Danelectro to my grandson to get him started. Since then I got a Fender Telecaster, a Washburn D10 A/E and a
Washburn EA20 A/E. I stopped playing for a few years and I'm finding my fingers don't move the way they used to, but I'm progressing.

Thanks Steve, good to know you. I gotta tell ya', my '98 Westerly built Guild D55 is a spectacular guitar, easily the equal to any Martin rosewood dread I've played. The sound is clear, articulate and loud, no mud at all. 25.75" scale, nice full neck, plays like butter. My Susie likes the sound of it over all my others, except for maybe my Cherokee. Some of the folks at the Guild forum call the sound of them "Majestic". I have to agree. I also had a Tacoma built D55, and although nothing to sneeze at, it wasn't what the Westerly is. The Tacoma built D55 now belongs to someone else.Originally Posted by sunvalleylaw
Hey Ratbag!
Great to see you over here (there was definitely something missing).
... and continuing from another OT thread somewhere in cyberspace ... (with that incredibly hairy sporran) was your Great Uncle Tom of the Victorian Era?

Great photo there! I've got scottish ancestry, but I've never seen a pic. I'll have to ask around to see if we have something like that!

Thanks for the welcome tot_Ou_tard. You can pick up one with a little wear for around a grand, a decent one for around 1500 give or take.Originally Posted by tot_Ou_tard
Wow, another Washburn refugee!
Was there something akin to a potato famine over there at Washburn?
Just kidding, of course. All fretters welcome! Enjoy yourself here Pike. :
Heh Heh, great way of putting it. Thanks for the welcome Bloozkat.Originally Posted by Bloozcat
Hey, Pike, I'd been wondering where you'd gone, suspected it would be here!
Good to see you onboard .
Most of us have been pretty good over here, haven't gotten booted yet : !!
Then, again, there's Shiner and his photo of naked tractor guy-----
But, they seem to tolerate us "Wash-outs" OK, so stick around!
