Anyone own a Washburn 7 of any kind? WG587 in particular? Don't know much about current Washburn quality. They seem to be ok? I'm supposing they're all Korean made, no?

I might be able to pick up a WG587 cheap, just wondering about it.

Washburn retired most of there 7-string guitars (go figure) this last year, of of the dealers still have some, but the selection is limited.

I was wondering about the quality. Had never heard anything good or bad about 'em. I bought a 7421XL now anyhow now so... moot point.

stick with the Ibanez....the washburn is ok, not great, I have tried the vast majority of 7-strings out there and Ibanez are by far the best

That's the same conclusion I came to, but i am totally biased when it comes to Ibys

I have owned a couple of Washboards in the past and they were decent, but has been some time ago. I'll stick with a known good.

I used to work in a shop that sold washboards, the boss brought in some ibys and sales jumped so I know what people mean biased!
