I have a George washburn signature series extended cutaway 36 fret guitar in excellent condition. It is black and red "crackle" paint. It has floyd rose tremolo with locking nut, with rosewood fingerboard. It has a seymore duncan humbucker pickup with a custom "splitter switch/output /volume" to allow single coil only. it also has a tone control knob. It is a very unique guitar that was sold for $1199.00 before the custom electrical work was done. What is a guitar like this worth these days??
Re: washburn ec36
I bought this guitar from Norwalk Music in California in 1988, and it was my main Gig guitar for years (even over my Jacksons). I love it for metal, sounds and plays great. For me the extra frets are useless because my fingers are too big, but I love the cutaway for comfort. Mine has a little gig wear, but not bad for all the use and abuse from live metal shows. I'm surprised I never broke the neck. I'll die with mine. These are extremely rare. It's hard to find any info on them, even from Washburn. Because of this, it may be tough getting what it's worth since the demand isn't there. I would only sell to a collector, never a music store. If we can only get Steve Vai to use one... hmmm

As far as playing the smaller frets: You must turn you finger sideways, its difficult but this is the solution and the tecnique for playing these frets. Enjoy!

Once you have accomplished this, you will find you have another guitar on top of your normal scale length! Kobos"

Re: washburn ec36
Hello, I'm in England and have a 36 fret Washburn in WHITE Crackle.
I have had it for around 18 years and would NEVER sell it.
It's my favourite ever.It's on the wall and I keep getting it down to play it. And it plays as good today as it did when new.
I remember I kept looking at it in this shop in Nottingham and eventually couldn't resist it anymore.
It's the best thing I ever bought and have no regrets.
If I had to sell my Guitars then this would be the on I'd hide
Regards
Steve

You, know I guess they can just bury mine with me! Cus my Jackson aint soundin that great lately!
After playing other guitars and comparing craftmanship, I The IEC 36 is practically priceless! Neck through body, 36 fretts, thats hard to accomplish! I have been toteing this some bitch around for the past 20 + years! I think I gona start using it again, need some strings though I tend to break them on any guitar! I guess I will write a new solo with it! Check out
my other music at Kirk Kobos my space music.
Re: washburn ec36
if the electronic were redone, then the guitar may run at 600/700 us. since this guitar is rare in the sense of number of frets and aesthetics, it could be worth a little bit less because of the original electronics changed because the sound of the 80's and 90's metal was something really specific (yet generic9 and that generic tone may be sought after by some people. never change nothing on a good guitar! I'm looking for one myself. fernando.
Re: washburn ec36
actually, these guitars sell for less than their original price nowadays...you can pick one up for $800, they aren't very desirable except amoung some circles...hope this helps

James, I am looking for a 36 fret guitar, hopefully an EC36. Do you know of any for sale at this time ? Thanks, Billy

I have the original show model, the one advertised in the guitar player magazine when they came out. I have only seen one other of these in Hawaii in 1991,It was very difficult to get this even when it first came out. they sold out within days i think, maybe even before that, I know the local store here never got them, and the Hollywood store did not have em, I got mine from the rep as he said it was the show model. I have kept it in the best condition. I would consider a bid, it would have to be in excess of the one that just sold on eBay for $1600. though but again I am in need of money, besides the rep I am the original owner! 661-393-2521 Los Angles

After doing a little math I realized I was in hawii in 1989, where If you stopped in the Kuhio saloon you may have heard me playing "Metal version" of johnny be good with this 36 fret guitar along with a one man band side show act guy that played a number of instrument as the same time, it was the gig I could get at the time, but I was amazed that people though went crazy for my
blistering soloing over the side show music. I am not sure but I think that guy the had symbols strapped between his legs that he would clap togather??
