This is a real treat, a parlor guitar from around 1920, with back and sides made of beautiful rosewood. It is built in the style of a Martin Parlour 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 rosewood. The neck is cedar and comfortable to play.
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.
It has serveral old repairs – we gave it to our luthier to check it and he gave us green light. All is solid and the guitar is ready to go.
The neck is straight and the guitar plays nicely with a low action.
It comes with the original and cool cardboard case.
