Family, am I right?

Post by vomitHatSteve »

I had my brother in town for a week, and we played a show together.

This is how that turned out.

Also whiskey vomit, but that's harder to photograph.

Gave up on the refret ?
People want something for nothing, they want it right now. Either they can't tell quality or don't care but feel it is important that everyone agrees with them.

We were bickering, and it ended in the artistic statement of smashing my guitar during his set.

Lot of meaning and art to it, but I'm still kinda peeved. I endorse smashing an instrument on stage at least once in your life. It might be obnoxious tho.

Neck is cracked about 20% of the way going up, so I suspect a refret is not gonna save it!

That's a most fitting and just end to a Washburn Strat.

It's the price you (washburn) pay for 'trying' to imitate a fine instrument that has been in the hands of most every iconic player at one point or another.

I don't even like strats!

I like washburns tho. Guess I'll just have to upgrade to a fine Cort.

Washburn & vantage were neck n neck in the early 80s.
Vantage 80s instruments seem to have accrued some value based on build quality.
Washnurn less so.
The prob. was a sequence of ownership changes etc.
Vantage often has the associated glamour of the Motsumoko factory where as Washburn used, at least for a while, a custom guitar grade business to make their axes.
Death of the washburn - I'd reach for a Teisco related one and preferably one that isn't a knockoff design.
OR
get another neck and alter the body to an early Devo aesthetic - around sloppy or Satisfaction but well before yellow suits and then the flower pots.
