The Washburn G-5V is a classic 1980s "Superstrat" (produced around 1985–1987 in Japan).The neck of this model has specific characteristics typical of the shred and hard rock era:
- Wood & Construction: A sleek bolt-on Canadian rock maple neck.
- Fingerboard: Usually features a rosewood or synthetic Carbonite fretboard. It is easily recognizable by its distinct sharkfin inlays.
- Frets & Scale: A 25.5" scale length with either 22 or 24 frets depending on the exact production run.
- Neck Profile: A thin, fast "D" shape that tapers slightly to a subtle "V" feel near the headstock on some iterations.
- Headstock: An aggressive, pointy "hockey stick" headstock with 6-in-line tuners and a prominent Washburn logo.
- Nut: Equipped with a locking nut designed to pair with the Washburn Wonderbar (or later Floyd Rose-style) tremolo systems.
