New Washburn Mighty Idol wins TG Group Test

"In the event of nuclear war, only three things will survive: cockroaches, Keith Richards and the Washburn Idol".


Total Guitar this month features a group test of the best humbucker guitars under £350, in which the Washburn Mighty Idol takes home the Group Test Winner's medal and a 5 out of 5 overall rating.

"Front-on, you'll snort that it's just another 50s singlecut, but spin this baby and you'll find it's a slim slice of mahogany/maple that's far more svelte than the LP and its brethren".

"The body's put together in bulletproof fashion, while the neck's set deep and fills the palm in style, combining with a smooth fingerboard and subtle fretwire for a pretty flawless playing experience. The setup feels professional, but more than that, it has flair".

"One hand on the medal, then, and the Duncan USM humbuckers clinch it...with seething high-output gain settling down into a delicious bell-like clean tone and a snappy singlecoil option too".
