That guitar is from the Idol series, you can tell by the truss rod cover. It's a WI model of some sort. I believe that stands for "Washburn Idol" Do a search for "Washburn Idol" or "Washburn WI" and you should be able to find your guitar. They are a recent production model so it should be a relatively easy search. Hope this helps!

According to this guy, your guitar looks like a WI 65 Pro:

I'm not 100% sure if these came stock with Seymour Duncans, I think they did. You might have a set in yours too but with covers on them. The biggest hint I'd say is the lack of fret inlays.

well i understand that it's from washburn WI series, i just cant find it is a wi64, wi65 or others models, on wi65 there a head with skull or other logo, and "washburn" title written in a different font, my have a logo like on wi64, but no markers on fretboard no pickguard etc, and on wi64 written "wi 64" on wi65 "wi 65 Pro" on my just "Idol".
I search about this guitar whole year, and cant find another copy like mine =(

On the pickups written "TONERIDER AC2B" and "PAF2N-NK".

Thanx for your help =)

[cynicalfocus]

No problem! The logos and fonts have been known to change every few years. And it looks like somebody swapped out the original pickups, those pickups are an aftermarket addition. Good luck!

I could be wrong about the exact model, but I think your best bet is to look at others that have no fret inlays and compare it to those. Your fretboard looks like Ebony too or possibly Carbonite. I know Washburn has used Carbonite in the past, I'm not too sure about now. But those 2 features definitely set it apart from the rest of the models in the Idol series

[Ellary]

Oh thx you, i try to find something about Ebony or Carbonite fretboard series )

Phenolic is what your looking for.  It should feel and look like a pool ball. If it is wood you will see and feel wood grain, although might be hard to see. Tom.

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-phenolic.htm  Two of my Washburns had this, strings just slide on this.   Tom.

[Ellary]

well, it looks and feels like wood to me.



how about a pickups, it's worse than original washburn pickups?

[t.y.]

Yep,  You can see the wood grain.  Tom.    P.S. the reason someone from a distance might think it is Phenolic is it has no fretboard inlays.
