In 1999 Washburn's master craftsmen set out to design a modern classic for the new Millennium and the Idol was born. After countless awards and accolades, Washburn has now expanded the Idol family to an even more versatile instrument.

The WI570 is a no-frills, humbucker-packed, single-cut slab of the finest mahogany with a carved maple top, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. Passionately hand-built in Washburn¹s Chicagoland facility by some of America¹s best luthiers, the WI570 delivers night after night, city after city taking the abuse of the road in stride while responding to your every learned input.

With the WI570's coil-tap technology, you have the flexibility to shift the dual Seymour Duncan® pickups from a hammering humbucker crunch to a razor-sharp single-coil scream with just a flick of the wrist. Like all Washburn USA guitars, the WI570 incorporates the Buzz Feiten Tuning System™ for unsurpassed intonation. A TonePros® tune-o-matic bridge, stop tailpiece, and 18:1 Grover® tuners hold you in tune.
