Hey Michael. I've got a Washburn WD 80 made in the USA. It's all maple body with a Satika Spruce top, mahagony neck & a Rosewood fret board. I put a LR Baggs I Beam in it for a pickup. Salesman (Bill) told me the neck was made by Martin & the body was made by Gibson the assembled @ the Washburn custom shop. I believe him cause the neck looks & feels like a Martin, kinda hard action with a lotta fight but well worth the fight as it sounds so good. You can feel the air moving thru the body, good strong tone and vibration! Love my guitar. See ya. Earle...thebaldbassguy.
I play a Santa Cruz Tony Rice model, - really sweet sound, looks simple but sounds amazing!! Big sound, I love it
Elixer Polywebs are still the best for this guitar, but it wears out fast.
My main guitar is a Martin J40. Totally love the way it plays and sounds.
I also play a Taylor 710 Brazilian Rose Wood prototype. Really dig it!
My best sounding guitar is a Custom Brazilian Rose Wood Moze made in 1980.
I also have a Big Baby Taylor for around the house and a Baby Taylor for the trunk.
Wonderful sounding instruments. I hope to get a Taylor (even if it's just a dreadnought or GA) in the future but from what I hear, the sound cannons (the jumbos) rock!
