Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

It feels that Washburn could have done better with NC 70, but still, this is a useful musical instrument. You should really give NC 70 a chance if you feel that this is a right instrument for you in this moment in time.

Some say that the average is golden, and maybe that is true for Washburn's NC 70 as well. There are musicians who would like to see more features on NC 70, but Washburn felt that NC 70 provides enough features for a given price and the market that Washburn aims for. Perhaps there are better equipped guitars then this one, but NC 70 will deliver what it's built for.

You can plug this baby into a toaster and, God knows, maybe it would sound as great as it does with any other amp. Seriously, Washburn made a NC 70, a terrific sounding instrument that deserves all the praise it can get. There is simply no need to change any stock-provided parts built into this axe, as it sounds professional all the way. Washburn's NC 70 is a flawlessly sounding instrument.

Though it could be better, action of Washburn's NC 70 is not that bad at all. It may go out of tune when mistreated, but it's easily tuned back in no time. You won't be let down while playing NC 70's neck. Guitar does feel a bit cheaper, but it will last you a long time, if you handle it with care that each instrument should be getting anyhow.
