Looks like one of those Chinese fakes we were all posting about a couple of months back. Probably not a bad thing you missed on it. The proper Jem models are rather pricey.

Any nod on this? Should I call?

I don't know if it's a budget level or what.

It looks sick.

It's a fake.

Made in China.

Only 200 odd new so offer 100 or less if you are interested and it plays ok.

Seemed to good to be true.

Here's what I've whittled it down too so far.

WASHBURN

That blue Dinky

Also, this will end out of my price range but check this out. KRAMER SUSTAINER!!!! looks amazing. Basically a built in ebow and feedback simulator.

Nah the Soloist is the one you w
That's the proper one of the three in my book. Second would be the DX10 for me.

God I haven't seen one of hose washburns for decades!

That Kramit is choice!

Watching those Jacksons dezb1 posted about now, particularly the soloist.

Is the Washburn worth having a punt on? That brand seems to sell for peanuts. Also, Wayne's World mojo!

Only issue with that Washburn is that it has their own bridge. It's kind of like an over engineered Kahler so I don't think it locks the string at the bridge end like a Floyd.

What is your final budget? Â£200 tops?

just put a Duncan Distortion in whatever

Yeah I'm trying to limit myself to that.

The washburn trem seems to get equal love and hate. People say it's awesome when it's setup right, but sucked in the day, I guess because people didn't know the lore.

George · Post by **George** » Thu Nov 15, 2012 7:34 pm

ugh i just want to fucking shred right now this very second

Sloan · Post by **Sloan** » Thu Nov 15, 2012 7:46 pm

maybe showmaster is what i meant. i have no idea.

Fran · Post by **Fran** » Thu Nov 15, 2012 7:55 pm

They only make the Showmaster now, its okay but I think the Stagemasterz are better.

Embrace it, you will probably progress no end in a short space of time. You can use your Strat you know? Plenty of Shredders use them, Malmstain for starters..

Wonderbar Tremolo. I had one on a MIJ Strat (bought it with it on), it was decent but if any parts break or are missing you've had it, they are quite rare and they get snapped up. The guy that bought my Strat on ebay only wanted the trem off it.

George · Post by **George** » Thu Nov 15, 2012 8:02 pm

I can use strat but the actions not really low enough to get me going and the pickups are quite weak.

I need the help of these super strats.

Seller got cold feet and pulled the Washburn. Shame but probably for the best. Apparently heavy as fuck. Looks like he's tried to sell it before on plenty of forums.
