Description
This is a real treat, a Washburn guitar from around the time around 1930, with back and sides made of beautiful mahogany. It is built with x-bracing in the style of a Martin 0-18 guitar.
George Lyon and Patrick Healy started building Washburn guitars in 1864 under the second name of Lyon. At that time the guitars were completely handmade and produced in limited numbers.
Soon the company expanded and even the most elaborate guitar models were produced in series. Nevertheless, great importance was always attached to good woods and precise workmanship.
The company still produces guitars today and is one of the oldest and most traditional guitar maker company.
The top is made of spruce and the back and sides are made of mahogany. The neck is cedar with a light and quite comfortable V-profile.
This guitar is a joy to play … it has authentic mojo … you can feel it immediately.
It reacts brilliantly when fingerpicking and sounds very good when flatpicking. It has that cool vintage sound you are looking for.
The body meassurements are similar to a Martin 0-18 guitar from the same time and the guitar is bigger than many other parlor-size Washburn guitars we had before.
It is all original wit only a few repairs. The neck has been reset and it plays nicely with a straight neck
