Washburn WM526 Guitar Review

The Washburn WM526, like the other HM-series, is a total rock instrument. The well designed body is crafted from mahogany and features a set in 25.5-inch scale mahogany neck. This where it starts to get interesting, the fretboard is Carbon Glass Composite with bulletproof stainless steel frets made from Parker Guitar company, and, of course, the WM526 includes Washburn’s patented Buzz Feinten tuning system. Wait, there’s more! Washburn also makes sure to put worlds best floating tremolo system on this ax; the original Floyd Rose locking tremolo system. And needless to say, Washburn also included my personal favorite machine tuners — Grovers tuners. Why stop there, let’s rock this ax out with active EMG pickups – EMG81 / EMG 85, respectfully. The WM526 comes in a nicely padded hard shell case to keep her all warm and safe.
