Basswood is primarily a substitute tonewood used on budget-friendly models. It can also be found on middle and upper class models with shred orientation, as it has nice and pronounced mids, perfect for melodic play. Generally, it lacks the lower-end strength of mahogany and all-round balance of alder. Washburn is one of the brands which use basswood as a substitute. WI 14, the opening model of the Original Idol series sports a single-cut body made of basswood. Walnut, Black, Metallic Blue and Metallic Gray are color options available for this model. Hardtail bridge is installed on the top and it`s plated in chrome. Washburn`s passive humbuckers are installed in it`s front. Bolt-on maple neck is topped with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.
