Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

Washburn's PS 400 is fairly good guitar. Not a brilliant one, but PS 400 will serve you until you decide it's time to go for a bit more expensive guitar. You will not go wrong if you go ahead with PS 400.

Carefully chosen set of features makes Washburn's PS 400 a really good guitar. Some might say that it lacks some of the features, but PS 400's features still fulfill an average musician's needs. You won't be wrong to go for this axe 'cause it has a wide array of different sounds and a lot of possibilities for tweaking the sound to make it yours. Getting one of Washburn's PS 400 is a way to go.

If you try playing PS 400 after an average guitar, it becomes obvious that this Washburn deserves to be proud of making it sound so beautifully. It delivers great tone when plugged in to most amps and, versatile as it is, it will allow you to find your own tone that you will be proud of as well. Washburn's PS 400 is surely a world class sounding instrument.

A bit more care and time would make this instrument a class better, but Washburn's PS 400 doesn't look bad, nor does play badly. It stays in tune reasonably well, and can provide a not-too-demanding musician some good experience. Was it the price, or some other factor, but it feels that the hardware could have been done better; nevertheless, PS 400 is after all a good guitar which is not too hard to handle and set up.

Good for practicing, PS 400 might not be the best solution for live playing. You should be aware of PS 400's capabilities and always be careful, as you don't want it to bail out on you in the middle of the show. Washburn's PS 400 should be considered a good guitar, but also be aware of its price and quality range.
