“We really have to raise our collective hats to Washburn’s WV40V.  Not only does it look amazing, it has the best sound by a margin too”.

Guitarist magazine this month features a round up of Floyd Rose and EMG equipped guitars. 

Including models from Dean, Jackson and ESP the Washburn WV40V Pro E is the outright winner scoring the highest ratings in all categories and is awarded the magazine’s ‘Choice’ award.

“Does serious amounts of mahogany equate to an awesome tone?  Here, the answer would be yes!”

“The WV is the only guitar here to feature a full-on original Floyd Rose, which adds to the tone due to its machined parts and, with a breath of genius, Washburn has also incorporated a phenolic resin fingerboard”.

“All of the above gives the fullest and fattest tone of all here.  Fans of metal and rock rhythms will revel in the glorious breadth and depth of the sound on offer: it’s chugtastic…the sound had us jumping around like little kids”.

“We really have to raise our collective hats to Washburn’s WV40V.  Not only does it look amazing, it has the best sound by a margin too.  And let’s not forget that, for just £689, you get an original Floyd Rose and a shaped gig-bag-value for sure”.
