What? It has a coil split? I had no idea! I sold this late last summer. I bought it used and never knew too much about the model, obviously! 😜 I might have tried to keep it if I knew it had a coil split!!! Would love to have you subscribe if not already and please spread the word! Thanks Caleb! 🤘🏻🎸
@@GearGasms I have the exact same guitar I bought new in 2004 for $350.00 Canadian and it doesn't have a spit coil . Serial # OC04090416 , I play it all the time and it has served me very well! Still looks new !
Chuck's Stuff I sold this on to make some room but it was a feisty guitar for sure. Love my Gretsch too! Would love to have you subscribe if not already!
I had always been a person to buy Washburn acoustics.for the price point of what they cost and the playability and sound I couldn't find any other guitar that has ever beat Washburn. I bought the Nuno Bettencourt signature model in the very late 90s I got one used for a good price. My first Washburn electric. It is absolutely amazing, I ended up scalloping the entire fingerboard (I learned how to play on a scalloped strat starting about 1985). Washburn makes incredible acoustics, but once I played one of their electrics I was hooked like a fish. They are incredible guitars and they always have a decent price (at least for my budget).I would love to own that guitar right there.
I purchased a brand new epiphone Les Paul Special with the wrap around stringing type bridge/tailpiece....They sell new for around $120.00 but I got mine on a holiday sale for $97.00 that included tax. It comes with legitimate P90 pickups.....I had it re fretted with stainless steel frets by a luthier for $200.00 total I replaced the tuners myself with a new Grover set for $55.00. I have about $285.00 in the guitar. It is tied with my favorite guitar of all 8 guitars that I own including 2 that are close to 3,000.00 guitars. In other words, it is second to none !!
Another useful video and Alan is just fun in his videos. That guitar needs pick ups and tuners....But if you're starting at $150.00 it doesn't matter because by all accounts you will end up with a guitar comparable in tone and playability to an $800.00 - $1,200.00 guitar with about $600.00 or possibly less in the guitar. And its unique !
this its the only video i could find about this guitar , i have the same one for like a year or more , i think its pretty rare bc all i can find its from like 6 years ago
@@GearGasms Apparently it is quite rare to find, because I bought it from a friend of my mother and she told me that she bought it at a guitar convention many years ago and that it was the only one with that model, and she told me I sold it because I had already stored it for several years without using it.
i got a candy apple red X-10/MC free because the pots crapped out, dials pulled out with no effort... the body was also cracked beneath the dials. Cant wait to fix her up.
I have the same guitar but not limited edition i fixed it up a bit new tuners and a ground wire and it sounds great 24 frets my kind of guitar :)keep on rocking
I brought a cherry red Washburn X Series Pro on gumtree for £40 as my first guitar. Though I've noticed it has no serial number and the backplate is blank. So does anyone have any good ways to find out details?
@@tlw2236 As cool as that would be, I can't help but think its more likely someone just changed the backplate - can't imagine why though, maybe as a keepsake.
is old rx30 washburn good guitar(100usd) ? seller is saying its premium guitar, i am new. please help sholuld i buy that or a new one like yamana pacifia
Hello Alan, I have never owned a Washburn, but that is a great looking, and a fair sound for those pickups. Truthfully, I was not aware they made a pro series. Sounded good through the effects. You did not mention the action. Definitely needs tuners and pickups and a good set of ernie Ball or slinky strings. Pretty cool demo video today. Have a great one.
I usually don't talk about the action, unless it was shipped high or there's some issue with it. To me, action is like string guage, it's totally up to and controllable by the player. I never had or played a Washburn before this one either but I had to jump on it due to the stupid low price! Thanks Mike!!! Enjoy the weekend, brother!
Jason Aquitania probably true - as cheap as the guitar was I’m sure they’re not great. Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks Jason! 🤘🏻🎸
lol - it's in the eye of the beholder, right! I do have a video coming in a few weeks, specifically about ugly guitars so maybe this is a good lead in. Thanks Calvin!
It’s a leftover broadcast crutch that I stole from Letterman and brought with me from my radio days. I’ve stopped using it if that makes you feel any better? Of course at my age and looking at my viewer demographics- most are kids. Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks Barry! 🤘🏻
I have to agree a little lame, I have x40 which is more aggressive and heavier guitar. I know this has a lighter body due to alder wood which has a warmer sound, but less mids typical Fender tone wood. It is a lower value than the x40 with the x mark on the 2nd hand market. I agree though about Washburn I also have a Washburn acoustic hand made from Mountain ash, which is getting more rare?
Do you like gear reviews and demos? Of course you do! Check out the full playlist here! ruclips.net/p/PLJ7bQFZhdVlM7HBhb45mPk_mPBJMD9ZJR
I just bought one yesterday and I'm super surprised how much I ended up liking it,
The coil splits' a nice touch for the clean tonezz

Yeah I didn’t think mine had a spilt coil. It was a cool guitar!
@@kevinshobbyroom3932 my we bought ours 2nd hand in 2004 and fixed it up it sounds super great now
Washburn is quickly becoming my favorite guitar brand!! My Gretsch Streamliner Jr is up there with my Washburn M44, Washburn G10V and a Washburn WG587

Thanks! I can’t decide if I’m going to keep it or let somebody else get a good deal and mod it themselves
Interesting. I totally agree with you .
i have this guitar i love it i swapped the pickups out for a Bill Lawrence XL500 bridge and a 59 Duncan in the neck
I bet it’s a monster now!! Isn’t the BL the same one Nuno uses? Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks
I bought one years ago and it's awesome !
Yeah it's a decent little guitar for the money! Looks killer too!
I bought mine in 2008. Still plays it often.
Cool - you rarely see them around. I ended up selling this but it was a cool guitar!
this its the only video i could find about this guitar , i have the same one for like a year or more , i think its pretty rare bc all i can find its from like 6 years ago
Yeah I sold it to a guy who was in Jimmys Chicken Shack. It was a cool guitar! I agree it’s pretty rare!

I found an old washburn x series in my house warehouse, what do you think I should do. I think it's old
List it for sale and see what you get! Would love to have you subscribe if not already!
@@GearGasms Do you think it's bad
That’s totally up to you - they generally make good stuff
Love your sense of humor, great video. When I get my new fuzz pedals built, I need to send you one.
Thanks Park - my jokes probably are stronger than my playing but that's okay too. lol
Washburn nice man! I just got a 2nd hand series x for 100 bux and make a present out of it for someone I love)))
That sounds awesome! These guitars fly under the radar! What a nice gift! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks
@@GearGasms yup subscription done..see ya around n keep on shredding...
Awesome! Welcome to the family!
i got a candy apple red X-10/MC free because the pots crapped out, dials pulled out with no effort... the body was also cracked beneath the dials. Cant wait to fix her up.
That’s a great price! Let us know how it goes!
You really keep your videos interesting. Speaking of bluegrass, l think l saw a video once of Earl Scruggs playing one of these.
James I’ll have to look for that it sounds epic! 😜
I have the same guitar but not limited edition i fixed it up a bit new tuners and a ground wire and it sounds great 24 frets my kind of guitar :)keep on rocking

No serial number means it's a prototype or sample

Muy bien! Con la Floyd creo que mucho bueno! Gracias amigo!
Not a bad guitar series. They just spent too much capital on the Idol series during that period
