Default Identify Please

Can someone tell me what she (Amber Rubarth) is playing. I did not see anything close enough in the photo gallery.

Thanks

There are tons of photos of her with that guitar on the web, but nothing with a clear shot of the headstock. However, the logo on the headstock bears a strong resemblance to "Washburn".

Here's her guitar

and here's a legible logo on a different Washburn guitar:

I'd say that you're right. I didn't see that picture. Thanks

I'd say you nailed it. The truss rod cover in that photo says "HB-15". Looks like it's a Washburn HB-15.

Yeah, you're right $449.00 . As for her, I already have one. They're priceless and cost way more.
