Weird is good! Looks like a nice piece of wood to me. What kind of pups does it come with? For some reason it looks to me like a hi gain guitar... maybe because of the sharpen Les Paul style contour.

Congratulations  :D

Never seen one of those before!  I guess it's pretty new (from the CE sticker on the neck), so Korean?  Or Chinese?

Washburn totally change their product lines so often, it's hard to keep up.  They never seem to keep one "main" design for very long (although I guess the "Idol" shape has lasted a while).

never tried them (or even heard of that model :lol: as philly says washburn chops and changes a lot), but I like it. Very nice shape and colour.

the body looks pretty similar to my '81 washburn falcon,  but the headstock on mine is more standard gibson shape, and mine has a string through style bridge

You have a Falcon?  Pictures please, it's a guitar I've always admired!  :D
