Washburn Guitars and UK distributor Sound Technology Ltd are proud to introduce the Time Traveller series with the new Washburn PS2012R. Designed in conjunction with Paul Stanley of Kiss, the Time Traveller guitars are hand crafted and aged to look, feel and play as if they're 40 years old.
Built in the Washburn USA Custom Shop, these limited edition Time Traveller models utilise premium woods and components for incredible tone and unmatched playability. Aged by Gord Miller at GM Vintage Restorations in Canada, each guitar feels and plays as if it were a well worn and broken-in 'old friend'. No two are alike, making each one a collectible in its own right and a Certificate of Authenticity is included with each. The Aged Nitro Cellulose finish is available in 4 colours, Pelham Blue, Polaris White, Golden Mist and Cardinal Red.
The Washburn PS2012R features a mahogany body with a carved raised centre and a 3-ply aged white/black/white pickguard with aged Starfire logo. A mahogany set neck sports a bound ebony fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets and custom pearl/abalone split block inlays. The reverse headstock is accentuated by a similarly shaped truss rod cover with aged Starfire logo. Premium aged nickel Grover 18:1 tuners provide smooth, stable tuning and the Buzz Feiten Tuning System ensures perfect intonation. An aged nickel Tone Pros tune-o-matic bridge is combined with a custom aged tailpiece machined from solid aluminium for ultimate tone transfer and sustain.
Seymour Duncan SM-3 mini humbuckers were chosen for their ability to produce a sparkling clean vintage tone yet have the output to drive the front end of classic amps into full overdrive and sonic nirvana. A 3-way selector switch and separate tone and volume controls provide a wide palette of selectable tones.
The Washburn PS2012R is available now at £5999 RRP inc vat and includes a hardshell case.
