With comfort and ease of playing inherent in its design, this performance guitar offers big features like a solid mahogany body and the revolutionary V.C.C. The deluxe version (WI64DL) adds gold hardware & a quilt top.

This performance guitar offers deluxe features like gold hardware, quilt top, and the revolutionary VCC. This modern take on the single cutaway is quite innovative in its own way.

For the first time ever... a guitar that blends warm humbucker tones with the twang of a single coil. Best of all... no annoying hum!

Washburn VCC. WHAT IS IT?

* A unique coil tapping system that allows players to incrementally blend between a humbucking sound and a single coil sound without the hum normally associated with single coils.
* Similar to the concept of a dimmer switch but related to the tone of a guitar.
* Simple, stage-friendly tone controls.
* Turn the VCC knob up for a traditional humbucker sound.
* Turn it down... you get the character of a single coil.
* No batteries or preamps needed!
* A Washburn exclusive product.

The Buzz Feiten Tuning System is a tempered tuning formula, which uses a compensated nut and saddle to correct the inherent intonation problems of the Western tuning formula. The system that Buzz devised has been a godsend to guitarists. Fans of the system include Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Liona Boyd and Andy Summers. The Buzz Feiten Tuning System is standard on all USA made Washburn guitars and basses and is featured on select imported models. Washburn is the only major guitar manufacturer to incorporate the system as a standard feature on production guitars.

BUZZY'S TUNING HINTS:
There are three easy ways to tune your guitar equipped with the Buzz Feiten Tuning System.

TUNE IT BY EAR
If you think you've got a pretty good ear, go ahead and tune it to whatever system you've been using; it will sound sweeter than a regular guitar.

TUNE IT TO AN ELECTRONIC TUNER
At WashburnWe like the Korg DT7 (a very popular tuner), but any electronic tuner will do the trick.

FOR THE PRO OR SEMI-PRO
If you need absolute precision for recording and concert work, or want to adjust your own intonation, we recommend a user-pro grammable tuner, such as the Korg MT1200.

Tune slowly and carefully. The results are well worth the few seconds of extra effort.

When you tune, try to center the needle for the attack not while the note is dying out. It's always better to be tuned a little flat than a little sharp.
