Very Obscure ‘80s Washburn Guitar

[MusicStudent1]

I don't underestimate the artistry in playing metal. I listen to metal sometimes but have neither the technical chops or the desire to play it (which is odd given that my main guitar is a Floyd-equipped 90s shredder - but I really didn't know what I was doing when I bought it). Art takes many forms and it's not for me to decide what makes the cut. And really it doesn't matter anyway how we label stuff.

I can’t communicate a thought correctly - I respect Metal. Metal and hard rock are my favorite genres of music. Actually, if you can get past the vocals, Cannibal Corpse is at another level. Metallica, too - I’ll probably never catch up to bassists Robert Trujillo or Cliff Burton. All those guys are true artists.

Prince was a true artist. Frehley is a true artist... I guess what I was trying to say was - I’m not! I’ll never write lyrics or sing, but I can attack a guitar or bass with fury, lol! That’s really all I want to do.

Back to the subject - it’s been almost a week....I still want the silly lightning bolt guitar!! Original (with switch and signature) vs Replica (plain) - pics below.

As a prior owner of one of these, I can say already that the paint and neck joint both look better on the replica than on my old one.
