Guitar Unboxing and Review | BEST Metal Guitar Purchase in YEARS!!!!

Guitar unboxing and review/first impressions of possibly the best metal guitar that I’ve purchased, played, and heard in years!!! The Washburn Solar V Ola Englund Signature. I was considering checking one of these out years ago, but it just didn’t happen. After browsing google over and over for many hours of the night, I came across this bad boy. The seller had the Seymour Duncan Mick Thomson Blackouts in it, and right then and there I had the chance to check both the pickups out and the guitar itself. BEST guitar purchase that I’ve made in many years because this thing is a metal player’s dream! Here are the specs on this monster of a guitar:

I will be doing another video on this guitar once it is set up to my tuning and intonation. I have so many great things to say about this guitar, and after owning it for 5 hours, 4.5 of those hours were spent playing it because I just could not put it down!!! I’ve owned a TON of guitars throughout the years and this was by far one of the best purchases that I’ve made on an instrument, especially at this price point! It touches on the main qualities of owning a guitar: playability, feel, build quality, and the biggest of all…SOUND. Besides the minor little issue with whatever is going on with the selector switch, this axe has done more than enough to win me over and then some!!! Look for a follow up video soon on this guitar soon. HIGHLY recommended guitar for metal musicians!!!
