I've always been a fan of Washburns as budget guitars. Sorry to all the Cort and Ibanez fans out there, but at the under 200 dollar mark, Washies are the business. My first guitar was an all laminate Washburn D10N. I loved it. It had red stained hog back and sides.
So I've been looking around for one as a "banger". I've been involved with my boys youth group the past few months, and have been taking the Larrivee to play the kids some songs, which at boys youth group is risky business. I need a youth group, campfire, "banger" guitar.
So I find this all laminate all mahogany Washburn D10 in translucent blue finish with a Fishman sonitone pickup hidden inside. For NZ 180 dollars. I think that's about 120 bucks. It's a good deal. I pulled the trigger, but only get it in November as I need to travel to Auckland to fetch it. The wife and I are going to a U2 concert there, so will pick it up on the way home.
I didnt plan to buy a blue guitar. It's a very dark blue. But I think the kids will dig it. I'm planning to put 2 white pieces on insulation tape on the lower bout to pinstripe it, like Mike Campbells Duesenberg. Maybe a sticker or two.
This will be my fireside banger. I hope it's not trashed. I've been assured the action is good. Heard some sound clips, and not too bad. Going blind. For 100 bucks, may be the best buy ever.

But if I stickyfi it, and make it look like it belongs to some roady on a mission, it may actually pass off as a good investment in the long term. It will have character, and may inspire kids to play guitar. Who knows.
