Now let's continue on to the 2nd group of Washburn Maverick Series electric guitars...
L to R: BT-3, BT-2Q/VS, WMS Studio, WM Standard, BT-4, BT-2-90/DBL
Washburn BT-3 (this was a real beater, traded for the above BT-8) in red with white pick guard, 3 single coil pickups, tremolo bridge, 3 control knobs, 5-way selector switch, Grover tuners, mahogany body, bolt-on maple neck, rosewood fretboard, 22 frets.

This pics shows the stock pickups, but the next photo displays the upgraded pups...

...Forward is a 4-wire Seymour Duncan Distortion neck pickup ( aka The Seymourizer !!) and at the bridge is a hot 4-wire pup by the G & B Pick Up Company which I pulled from a Rock Candy Custom model of the Daisy Rock guitar family. I upgraded the tone knob with a push-pull coil tap model wired to split both humbuckers, which are wired out of phase. While this axe is a true multi-tonal monster of Cloverdale proportions, I must admit that my favorite pickup setting is the bridge humbucker in split mode, possibly because I wired the coil tap switch to turn off the outer (lower) coil, leaving the inner single coil on. I've been told that this small extra distance from the bridge can have a large effect on the tone.
