Washburn RR-V Tour Series

The Washburn RR-V Tour Series is a rare line of solid-bodied electric 'Flying V' shaped guitars produced in Japan between the years of 1985 to 1987.

Models

There were 4 models of RR-V. The RR-2, RR-11, RR-12 and RR-40 (the latter being the top-of-the-line model). All models featured a Floyd Rose Tremolo styled-bridge (called the 'Wonderbar Tremolo') and had a pick up configuration of one Humbucker at the bridge and two single coils at the neck.

RR-2 - Featured open coil pick ups. The body was available in one solid colour, most commonly black.

RR-11 - Featured upgraded Washburn branded EMG pick ups. The body was available in either solid white or red with black stripes painted diagonally across.

RR-12 - Similar to the RR-11 model. Featured an 'Invader' humbucker at the bridge. Optional on this model was a carbonite fretboard. The body was available in white with red stripes diagonally across.

RR-40 - The top model. Featured a triple coil humbucker, polished carbonite fretboard and beveled edge body.
