I own a Wasburn Dime V. I can honestly say that these Guitars are not that bad. They have a good build, but the pick-ups tend to burnout quickly. I put EMG's in it and its sounds great. My advice would be to try one out and see how it feels.
depends on the model and series , every big company makes cheap and affordable models to expensive. Dimebag Darrell of Pantera did amazing things with washburn guitars , Nick Cananese of Black Label Society , Dan Donogan of Disturbed was endorsed by them for a while.
as long as the frets are level , so no buzz or dead notes
you get a good sound that you personally like
and everything works 100% you'll be fine
depending on series and quality they can be incredible guitars. if it's korean or Japanese made those are incredible guitars , but always test the neck on the guitar and play a few notes to see if you like it.
Dimebag Darrell played them
Disturbeds guitarist Dan Donogan (no idea how to spell his name) played them
Nick Cantanese (Black Label Society)
Bob Marley had one and he didn't own too many guitars in his life but this one he had is one of the most valueble guitars in the world. Even more than some 60 something year old slab of mahogany with Gibson on the headstock.
bad brands are chinese made beginner guitars and Ibanez , never go with Ibanez.
in no particular order I'd play
ESP , LTD , BC Rich , Dean , Schecter , Jackson , Agile

Try a Washburn or similar inexpensive guitar. Or try a pawn shop for something cheap and basic. Avoid toy guitars, no-name guitars, or ones marketed to kids (like First Act).
Not really. Unless you're looking for expensive steel guitars and low-quality acoustics you can't find anywhere, I'd expect a cheaper, more reliable brand such as Epiphone or Washburn.
Awesome guitars!
