Dan Ryan unboxes and reviews this amazing guitar purchased on Amazon.com for $103.99! Unfortunately the price has gone up quite a bit since I purchased it to $269.
I never would have thought I could buy a Washburn for anything less than $1000 back in the 80s and 90s when they were very popular. This is the golden days for guitar pricing for sure. Leo got a great deal! Thanks for sharing this experience. It is a pleasure to listen!
Wow, a really nice finished guitar for the price of a cheap unfinished DIY kit! It rings well and long, always a good sign, imao. (Thx for that❣️) I kinda like the shape of the headstock. A very rockin‘ melodic jam, Dan; always a pleasure to listen to your improvisation ❤️ Your videos are a fix point in the middle of the week, worth waiting for 😍
Thanks very much for watching Guenther as always, and we're excited that we can pray provide you with 30 minutes of fun every week that you can have with your lederhosen still on 😎👍!
Hello Fellas, That is a mighty fine looking guitar and the price sweetens it up even more. A 100 bucks! Dang, that's awesome. I payed $50 to my cousin (and got robbed, btw) for my first Kay Special and a crappy plastic amp back in '79. That guitar was a disaster with strings. This one, though, has a very nice, rich and deep (dark) tone, especially in the neck and middle pick ups. As for the neck wood; here in Florida, we're not allowed to talk about that kind of stuff by order of the state gov't. Dan's playing is nothing short of inspirational and the track he played against was no exception. Thanks for the great videography Leo. The two of you make my morning at least once a week
Thanks very much Marky for watching, but unfortunately it already went up in price to $369. It kind of makes us look bad, but we really have nothing to do with it 😎👍!
brilliant review as usual guys🤘 Your budget guitar reviews are a god send for us working class guys who are not rich enough to throw £/$1000's of dollars into each guitar, but can still buy good lower priced models, be proud of owning them and be able to expand our stable..thanks for that 😁 just wondering what is the white mark moving from the 9th fret to the 14th fret is?, on the G,B,E strings, anyway that guitar sounds excellent, beautiful deep and rich tone imo 👍
Thanks very much David for taking the time to watch and comment, in answer to your question (I think it's semen) but I have no way to know for certain 😎👍!
Thats a steal for the price i love watching your videos you guy’s are funny washburn is good I don’t have one but i know guys that do and they seem pleased with them great video as always guys keep on rockin 🤘
Thanks very much Joe for watching, I don't know if you are aware of this, but the price went up to $269 just before we released the video. I truly hate it when that happens 😎👍!
Well pardner, truthfully I don't really care about myself, it's you subscribers that watch our videos and then go to purchase one and it's gone up 300% in price. It really makes me feel terrible that I got people's hopes up.
It's not Washburn, it started out with Washburn, and a third party seller purchased all the guitars from Amazon.com, and without moving them at all, they raise the price %300, and have Washburn drop ship to their customers.
I'm just now getting to watch this, and got excited about the price... I went to Amazon, and BOTH black and this are available... BUT, $269 now!!!! More than 2x what you paid, so... I'll be waiting to see if it fluctuates like IYV and Donner. I like the Washburn SG that I got in July, so...
@leodanryan966 I don't know if you saw it or not, but I posted a video on the Leo Jaymz Flag strat that I modified some, and I put a link to the video you two did about a year ago in the details. Sorry I didn't think to mention it in the actual video. I thought about it when someone commented, and I absolutely love Dan's jam on it! Like I always do! On THIS video too! 😆
I was looking at one of these used for 135 but they want 100bux to ship. Can buy a new one for a few more bucks and it ships free. I may send them an offer.
I haven't seen any since just after we recorded this video. They immediately went up in price to around $270. I got a steal on this one. It's a beautiful instrument. Thanks very much for watching and for your kind comments 😎👍.
I came here for the guitar review... But it's not the guitar what impressed me in this video. THE GUITAR PLAYER - that's what made this video great for me. My respect and best wishes! Old school rules!
Thanks very much for watching and for your kind comments and question. Dan's favorite axe is a Sire ES-335 Copy, and his second is an Epiphone Sheraton Pro ES-335.
Thanks very much Ted for watching as always, and yes she is, but she's working a lot more expensive corner these days at $269 for the tobacco burst, and $369 for the Trans black 😉👍!
Beautiful body on that guitar! I'd love to have that body. I could really do something with it. Not crazy about the neck over-all... but the head-stock is a deal killer for me. That thing is hideous. Got that Monoprice headstock on it. Awful! LOL But the body looks phenomenal. Love that. And of course.. in Dano's capable hands.... it might as well be a Fender Custom. LOL Great vid, Fellas !
Thanks very much Jimmy for watching and commenting as always, I actually think really Fender stole their headstock design from Washburn. I'm not certain it was Washburn, but they definitely stole the design from someone. I think it's a bit too pronounced, but I don't like the Affinity Stratocaster headstocks either. Too big. In any case, it doesn't effect the sound of the guitar 😎👍!
not many places where you can get an honest review leo & dan do not get these guitars for free like a lot of reviewers on utube they buy them with their own money and you get an honest review i bought a couple of guitars after looking at reviews on utube that were crap thats what you get when people get the guitars for free
nice unit guys! thats configured verry much like the peavey raptor plus model! if your intrested i made a film comparing my "peavey twins" and proved something in the process...
Thanks very much for watching Birdman316 and for your kind comments. I'll check it out and see what you've got. I saw it come up in my notifications earlier, but was just too busy to deal with it at the moment 😎👍!
"Welcome to the Washburn family." That was nice of them
Thanks very much for watching, I don't understand wh what you meant by that.
@@leodanryan966 when he opened the box that was the message written inside. And that was nice of them to have printed. :)

Thanks very much as always Tom for watching, but unfortunately this one has gone way up in price to $269, it seems to happen quite often. 😎👍!

That's a beautiful top for that $103! And in Dan's hands, sharp edges and all, it sounds like a million bucks!

Sounding Great as Always.
