Washburn's Idol Series W164 is a great choice if you don't want a bland look-alike or sound-alike instrument. This distinctively shaped single-cutaway solidbody features an exceptionally thin mahogany body and beveled edges reminiscent of an SG, and it's loaded with several unusual features that truly makes it stand out from the crowd. With its dual high-output WB360 humbuckers, separate volume for each pickup, three-position pickup toggle, stop tailpiece and Tune-O-Matic bridge, the W164 is reminiscent of other models born in America's Midwest, but this guitar has a personality that's all its own. The one-piece mahogany set neck offers a 24 ¾-inch scale, 22 frets and a rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, but the scooped cutaway is deep enough to provide easy access to the highest note. The W164's Buzz Feiten tuning system and Voice Contour Control (VCC) electronics really set it apart from the crowd. The Feiten system ensures that the guitar's intonation remains perfect no matter where you play. VCC replaces standard tone controls with a circuit that lets you incrementally blend humbucking and single-coil tones at the twist of a knob. This feature is exclusive to Washburn guitars, and it's on a guitar this affordable.
