Up for sale is a rare, classic slice of late-1980s hair metal history: a 1987 Washburn G-8V in a stunning Metallic Red finish. This high-performance "Superstrat" was meticulously engineered in South Korea.

Designed specifically to compete with the heavy-hitters of the decade, it delivers everything a speed player or vintage enthusiast could ask for.The standout feature of this model is its ultra-smooth, premium Carbonite fretboard. This advanced synthetic composite mimics the slickest, tightest grains of high-end ebony, offering lightning-fast playability, structural stability, and a distinct glass-like feel under the fingers. Paired with the iconic pearloid "Boomerang / V" arrow inlays and a sharp, aggressive matching reverse-style pointy headstock, this guitar screams 1980s nostalgia.
