Brand new, 2003 model. Made in Indonesia. Uh oh. Hope it lasts. 24 frets. This Silvertone Paul Stanley Designed Sovereign Pro "KISS" Solid Body made from Agathis wood, Features A Carved Arch Top, Mirrored Pick Guard, Bound Set Mahogany Neck, Dual Duncan Designed Humbucking Pickups, Grover Tuning Gears. Two volume, one tone control. The pickups are seymour duncan and are suprisingly sweet. No feedback! Even with my high gain Peavey 5150 amp. Paint finish is black with "fleck". Nice job.
Sound

I play rock, metal, blues. Zep, KISS, Van Halen, and most new stuff too. I currently use a Peavey 5150 half stack. guitar is quiet. No feedback. rich, smooth sound. Guitar is capable of any sound I want to make. Seymour Duncan pickups really make it scream.

Action is great. For a guitar of this price range, I didn't expect much. Came set up! Finish, is ok I can see little imperfections around the binding. But hey, it didn't cost $1000.

Don't know. Except the pickups, the electronics are CHEAP! I will replace the tone controls and the toggle switch. Cheap and easy enough, just change 'em out. Again, you get what you pay for.

I've been playing for 16 years. I have an Ibanez Iceman PSII, Ibanez Iceman 20th anniversary, '73 Gibson Les Paul Custom, Ibanez acoustic and a Takamine 12 string. I didn't expect this guitar to be as good as the Iceman, but it really deserves a look. great action, great sound, cool design and looks. Obviously I bought it because I'm a Kiss fan, BUT, I didn't buy the washburn PS model. This guitar has the most bang for the buck you will find. Tuners, pickups, bridge, all great. but definately change out the electronics.
