The included gigbag protects the instrument well. It's got everything it should, the battery compartment is very convenient as it requires no unscrewing to replace the battery. Table 1 Washburn X50 Profe neck dimensions Dimension It's not wide, it's not too thick, it offers great access to higher frets. Everything is even, everything in the right place. Finish 10/10Ībsolutely beautiful and flawless. I'm not used to EMG pickups, maybe it's also a matter of tweaking the tones. While playing leads I think X50 lacked smoothness and sweetness a bit IMO. Electric sound 9/10ĮMG pickups sound clean and sharp, do great job on rhytms. Great sustain with an exception of one or two notes. Intonation benefits from the Buzz Feiten Tuning System, chords sound better and more in tune, it's even easier to bend to right notes in solos. Grover 18-1 tuners, excellently cut nut, fixed bridge. It's well balanced, it stays in tune, sounds decent and comes with a Washburn softcase. It's equipped with Buzz Feiten Tuning System, EMG pickups and Grover tuners. See below for specs and a demo video (not filmed by me).X50 PROFE is a fixed bridge set-in neck guitar designed for rock & metal players. In all honesty, this is a great guitar (on par with ESP, in my opinion), and I hate to see it go, but ultimately it's not exactly what I'm looking for. Also, despite liking the effect of the 18V mod, have decided that I'm not really an EMG guy as far as personal taste goes.

This guitar has been one of my main axes for the past few years, but even at the time of purchase, I had really wanted a full baritone scale guitar, which I intend to replace it with. With any luck, that won't be problematic, but it may require a new nut if you're putting on dramatically lighter strings.

If setting up this guitar for standard tuning or a different string gauge, be aware that the low string has had the nut filed ever so slightly to accommodate the heavier string. The EMG 18V Mod simply places another 9V battery in series to coax more midrange and less compression out of the sound, and is easily reversible by de-soldering the second 9V battery clip (mounted in the control cavity) and resoldering the remaining circuit back together. This guitar has been modded with the EMG 18V Mod and set up as a B-standard (B-E-A-D-F#-B) baritone with Ernie Ball Baritone Slinky strings (gauge 13-72).

It is a solid, super resonant, chunky-bodied set neck guitar with a beautiful natural finish. For sale is a Washburn X50 Pro FE with EMG 81 and 85 pickups.
