There is actually one that you could add... or even a couple to choose from. There are Bigsbys from these high-end SGs and I recall one with a name Stetbar or sth like that in my local shop for 100$ - just make shure it's a TUNE'O'MATIC tremolo, since floyd rose style bridges need springs wrapping around an inside of a guitar, and with wi14 it'd be a hell lot of job. Also - just don'tforget to mod also the neck with locking mechanisms for strings. ;)
well i actually want to order a tremolo from ali express as it will be cheaper and have been recommended a good store on the site. The only thing is that i'm not sure if my guitar has a tune o matic bridge or a fixed one as it has been with an old friend for over 4 years... yeah... Anyway, which would be harder to put on and cost more? Also what would the main differences be?? thanks for your quick reply btw :D
Np. I don't do YT anymore, simply because I see it kinda pointless now, but hey. If someone comments with something other than "WHY YA SUCK SO MUCH" I can gladly reply to them. xD Basically - if your wash has this 2-part 4-screws tune'o'matic bridge - go with a cheap Bigsby. This will fit it 100%, you can also try these "Les Paul tremolo" ones, but I have no idea how they would work. They support wraparound mounting bridge, so It'll need 1/2 of the T'o'M screws. If it has this fixed flat bridge - that will be heck of a modding, mate. Then go with floyd, but you'll need to go to carpenter to drill a hole through body and some extra path underneath for the springs. Just get the desired bridge first and then even eyeball the position where it SHOULD go basing on the point where strings are free of the bridge. All these DIY solutions. xD IT CAN GO VERY WRONG, just saying. But basing on the fact, that one can make a guitar of a shovel, nothing should be all THAT bad. :P
I've never had WIN version in hands, but from what I've seen: strap holders are in a different place... and probably they changed a manufacturer of either body or electronics. WIN is supposed to be the "newer" version, no info on whether it's also a "refined" one tho.
Not really - I'd say that quality of the sound depends on WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many factors when it comes down to looking at YT videos. There is probably no difference - the wood is probably still wounded cuz of rough and fast manufacturing process, pots may be overflown with solder, but who cares? I mean, this guitar, as a low budget thing, is practically made to be modified - if you're into that ofc. If you won't like the sound of basic Wash pickups there is Wilkinson's alternatives for as low as 20 bucks as far as I remember correctly. You don't like the way electronics work? Resolder while looking at publicly accessiable Saymour Duncan's schematics! Heck! You can even make infinite sustainer for it! (since it has "double double" pickups aka two humbuckers)
So the only real difference is for Washburn, not for us. Maybe they found a better supplier or submanufacturer? Maybe something were cheaper and of the same quality? Maybe they shifted production? You'd REALLY need to ask company representative to get to know that.
Thank you, at least you tried your best in english. Appreciated ! And very understandable.
Thanks for your review too.
good video man.
haha dont worry about your English, and be proud of your Polish? accent!
greetings from Czech
Well, thanks, and yes, you're right, my dear neighbour : )

Where are they made? Thanks!
whats the difference between this and the WIN14?

Zubkover dobyou know the difference in quality of material and sound?
Zubkover could you tell me the difference between quality of material and sound, if you know
Not really - I'd say that quality of the sound depends on WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many factors when it comes down to looking at YT videos.
There is probably no difference - the wood is probably still wounded cuz of rough and fast manufacturing process, pots may be overflown with solder, but who cares?
