125th Anniversary R318SKK Model - Our Summary
The 125th Anniversary guitars from Washburn are surely one of the most exciting range of instruments we are likely to see in 2008. An industry milestone celebrated with limited edition models which are of an excellent standard and best of all, affordable.
R318SKK 125th Anniversary Guitars are a limited edition run of 250 instruments. Only around 23 have come in to the UK.
The guitar is made from a solid Spruce top. The solid spruce top gives the guitar a lovely mature sound with plenty of punch. The back and sides are trembesi which give the guitar a very attractive appearance.
The guitar also features a gorgeous Rosewood fingerbord, smooth and dark it is adorned by an attractive 125th Anniversary logo around the 12th fret.

It is smooth and tactile to play.
The actions of the guitars are nice and low and are fully checked over by Rich Tone Music staff before being sent out of the door to further guarantee a quality playing experience.
