awesome guitar heheheheh don't forget to a 13 yr old girl a Hanna Montanna guitar is the equivalent to some blues fan buying a SRV strat...heheh same impact .....that girl is a goldmine and doing well musically .... so it's a signature model hehehhe cleverly aimed at the beginner market ....well done washburn

but the up side is that it's 3/4 size which is aimed at a girl market ..... so maybe the guitarist gender imbalance will rectify itself in the next generation .... cos only if 10 % of all those sold to young girls and believe me is disney and washburn are behind it it WILL SELL.... one under every xmas tree this december ...so if only 10 % continue to play seriously or semi pro ... there will be hundreds of new female guitarists out there ....

this is a good thing ...and yay for that

peace and light

And I thought Wahburn was respectable. I have seen that "thing" before, didn't know it was made by Washburn though.

The saddest part is that the child who initially wants this, is after it more to pose than to work hard.

hopefully parents who do buy it encourage them to work at it and learn properly.

I think it is a great idea, although i would not want to be seen alive playing one ?

For R797 it is a good price for a first guitar for a someone in the age of 5 - 13, i would like to see a boys version of the 3/4 washburn guitar, something like batman or iron man on it, they will probably sell it at pick n pay or toys R us, i suppose.

............okay stop throwing tomatoes at me ?

Who knows maby some kid picks it up oneday with no musical background, and he/she descovers the joy of music.

I agree, if this can get someone started on music, then why not?

A very young girl might not care much about a Les Paul/Strat/Tele etc and get bored with it, but a guitar with her favorite TV show character on it might keep their attention for long enough to develop some liking to music.

hehehh excuse me lol i'm gonna get slated for this but i know many guitarists who also don't put in the work and pose with their guitars of various design......

i teach and regularly have guys coming to me to say they want to learn guitar cos it's cool and they wanna be in a band where they can party and get "women" they used the derogetory term

so yeah i think many people buy guitars think it's way cool.... cos it has been romanticised and forget theres tons of theory and motor skills to learn which all takes effort.... it's not a computer game you can sus in one day ........

so yeah sure lots of girls will want one just to be cool..... but a few just like with the guys will persevere and be the next hendrix/vai/martin taylor /

think you guys are slating this for the wrong reasons...and yeah i agree i doubt you will see one male guitarist with one.. but this was not meant for that or the pro market .... and with washburn involved and disny two big brand names i'm sure it will not be a useless unplayable guitar... but a cheap but functional entry level instrument ...

good on them

If I see one I'll play it and write a review about it. Don't know if I can amp it up in ToysR'Us, but I'll try.

LOL, I would really like to see the ToysRUs staff if someone goes there and pretend to know jack about guitars, asks all kind of silly questions and when they plug it in, shred the roof off of the building.

DonovanB

I'm afraid its worse than we all thought. I saw one in Game... ?

cain

Nee dude,

That's just awful! I've seen a worse guitar before tho, andy mcgibbons sold these pink heart shaped guitar. They eventually sold them at a loss cos they couldn't get buyers for the junk!

That's only because her dad is BRC. I think her singing is terrible...pity about the music that is making it "BIG" these days. And 90% of people in the world have become so degenerate that they actually listen to that rubbish ☹

Back to the topic though...All that I look at to deGAS is the Hello Kitty strat ?
