Default Washburn RSG100

Anyone have experience with this model? Looks really cool and sounds good in the demos I’ve seen but has anyone had one in hand?

It’s based on a 1939 model and has torrified top and bracing, all solid woods.

The singer in my band has the RSG200 (rosewood vs the 100's mahogany): nicely made, plays well; with the D'Addario Nickel Bronze strings he's using, it sounds "old" (perfect for our rockabilly / country band).
He replaced the stock UST pickup with a K&K mini - much better!
Neck is 1-3/4" wide, thickness is "average" - not chunky, but not Taylor thin, either.

His developped a crack in the ebony fretboard high up (where it sits on top of the body) - probably a result of our dry winter climate; didn't cause any problems, though.
