2001 Washburn Idol WI‑64DL Quilted Maple Top Transparent Blue Electric Guitar

The Washburn Idol WI‑64DL is a premium single-cut electric guitar that combines classic styling with modern tonal versatility. Made in Korea in 2001, this model features a mahogany body with a quilted maple top, delivering a rich, resonant tone with natural warmth and sustain. Its transparent blue gloss polyester finish beautifully showcases the quilted maple’s depth, giving the guitar a striking visual presence both on stage and in a collection.

The one-piece set mahogany neck is shaped into a comfortable medium C-profile with a gloss polyurethane finish, providing smooth, responsive playability. Its 24.75" scale length and 14" fingerboard radius offer familiar feel and accessibility for both chords and lead work, while the 42mm bone nut ensures solid string spacing and stable tuning. The rosewood fingerboard features pearloid dot inlays and 22 medium nickel-silver frets, providing plenty of room for expressive playing and reliable action across the entire neck. Fret life is solid here at 85% with some wear evident.

Equipped with 800 Series Eliminator humbuckers, the WI‑64DL offers a wide tonal palette. The neck pickup measures 8.2kΩ, the middle 4.2kΩ, and the bridge 8.6kΩ, producing everything from warm, creamy tones to biting leads. Combined with the VCC (Voice Contour Control) system, this guitar allows for on-the-fly tonal shaping, giving players access to subtle or dramatic EQ changes without external pedals or amps. Volume, tone, and 3-way toggle controls make dialing in your preferred sound straightforward and intuitive.

In excellent all-original condition, this WI‑64DL has been professionally setup with 10-46s and plays beautifully with a straight neck, smooth action, and minimal fret wear.The gloss finish remains vibrant and intact, highlighting the quilted maple top, while the hardware is clean and fully functional, although the original gold plating is almost all but worn off revealing a nickel finish beneath. Weighing just 3.4kg, this Washburn Idol WI‑64DL is a versatile and stylish instrument that combines classic craftsmanship, modern tone-shaping features, and eye-catching aesthetics, ready to perform straight out of the box. Comes with a hard case.
