washburn and yamaha guitars...

[tramp]

I know they're not related in any way but....

Much love for these brands? Been doing a bit of reading and they're somewhat impressive.

No experience with Washburn but Yamaha makes some good stuff.

That's a +1 on the Yamahas... I have 2 Ty Tabor signature models, a AES 820 Drop 6 'Paul and 3 of the cheaper Pacificas.
The Tabors are awesome but the cheap Pacificas are killer too... snagged mine for an average of around $115 each and stripped 'em all down to upgrade with better hardware and electronics, excellent fiddles!

I have a Yamaha acoustic that I have had over 30 years now and its one of the best sounding and playing acoustic guitars I have come across the entire time I have played guitar.
