Cheap import guitar of the week #8 - Chwashburn Paul Stanley PS1800

I'd actually prefer this over the real thing just because I could beat it up.

The real-deal Washburn Paul Stanley PS1800 guitar is expensive. No, it is not an Ibanez, meaning not a PS120 Iceman. This is a Washburn.

Washburn does make some fine guitars. Truly, they do. The PS1800 is higher in price because of "PAUL STANLEY", but when you look at other models, such as the Washburn XMDLX2TNG, you'll be shocked at how low the price is for a genuinely good guitar. Seriously, check it out. And it's not a knockoff, but rather a real-deal Washburn.

The China knockoff version (meaning not Washburn, not Ibanez and just a copy) would be a nice guitar just to thrash around with something different without spending a lot.
