New 2008 Washburn USA ‘Factory 2nd’ WI568 Idol Guitar –

So….

Washburn USA has this display Idol with just an amazing ribbon flame top.

And through the course of being moved around from show to show and display to display, it takes a bump.

A bump on the top of the headstock. And a piece of the clear coat is knocked off.

The guitar is still Brand New – Still amazing to play and READY –

Now, it’s just HUNDREDS of dollars less!

If you know anything about Boogie Street – you know we LOVE the Washburn Idol!

Here’s Washburn’s Official text on the WI568 Idol model…

The Washburn Idol WI568 is an electric guitar that boasts a modern carved figured flame maple top on a mahogany body. With a Seymour Duncan USA ’59 neck pickup and a Duncan Custom Custom bridge pickup, the Wi568 guitar delivers all the tonal possibilities you need. Equipped with the advanced Buzz Feiten Tuning System the WI568 Idol guitar has perfect intonation in every key. This premiere guitar was built in the Washburn USA Custom Shop.

Features include:

Flamed maple top
Reveal binding
Mahogany body Modern carve top single cutaway
Stop tail with Tune-o-matic bridge
One piece mahogany set neck
Rosewood fingerboard
Seymour Duncan USA ’59 neck & Custom Custom bridge pickups w/coil tapping
Tone Pros bridge & tailpiece
Exclusive Grover 18:1 gear ratio tuners
Buzz Feiten Tuning System
Built in the USA Custom Shop

So, that’s basically the deal. It’s got the headstock ding – and it saves you about 500 USD over the price of new.

Oh wait – you really can’t buy ‘New’ anymore because.. There are NO MORE USA IDOL GUITARS BEING BUILT – sadly.

Check the photos and don’t miss out on this one!

The Guitar, the case, BSG swag and Worldwide FedEx Shipping… 1645 USD get it done!


Brand new Washburn USA Custom Shop WI556 Idol !

Washburn blended the industry’s finest single-cut – the IDOL with Parker neck technology and what surfaced was the WI556.

This particular piece Brand New pieces was custom built for BSG and has the ‘Boogie Street Customs’ designation inked on the back of the headstock. Expertly done by Washburn’s paint guru, Chewy –

Sadly, like the HM526, the WI556 is no longer in production. And we don’t see them coming back, sadly.

However – BSG had a few done in custom colors for us. Here is an amazing WI556 done up in an amazing dark blue!

These guitars are spec’d out with thick mahogany carved body, mahogany set-in neck, carbon fiber epoxy fretboard, stainless steel frets, direct mounted EMG 81/85 humbuckers, Floyd Rose trem, Grover tuners and a whole lotta attitude!!

But here is Washburn’s Official take on the WI556:

The American-made Washburn WI556 is made especially for shredders. It boasts an extremely fast fingerboard and neck using the Parker Guitars perfected carbon glass composite fingerboard and stainless steel frets to create a silky smooth fingerboard and unparalleled playability. EMG pickups and simple single volume and tone controls keep your signal hot, phat and defined. The WI556 Guitar comes equipped with a Buzz Feiten tuning system that solves tuning and intonation problems, so you’ll sound dead-on pitch in every key. An original Floyd Rose tremolo bridge is your pilot’s license to dive-bomb to your heart’s content. The carved top body, wicked scooped-out single cutaway, reverse headstock and sleek finish have a look like candy from a stranger.”

Cool Stuff!

Great Dark Blue finish with just a small ‘hint’ of metallic in the paint. Very, very faint. Very ‘set-in’.

The Hardshell case & BSG Swag are included.

The price on this guitar is $1945 delivered anywhere in the world.

All dressed up and beautiful!

Done up in Bright White – this Top of the Line USA Washburn Idol is – ready!

While sadly no more made except for custom orders, this WI590 Custom Shop Idol has all the goods.

Spec’d out with a mahogany body, deep carved maple top, TonePros bridge, mahogany set-in neck, ebony fingerboard with MOP block inlay, full multiply body, neck and headstock binding, Seymour Ducan ‘Custom Custom’ bridge humbucker and ’59 neck humbucker, Grover tuners and Washburn hardshell case.

When you consider what is ‘in’ this guitar – it’s available for a steal. The deep carve Idols just drill the Gibson Les Paul guitars into the ground an this one is well over 1 thousand dollars LESS than a white LP custom. A better guitar – for less. A novel idea!
