Location: South of most, North of few | Washburn parlor, all solid woods, rosewood back and sides, spruce top. In new condition with factory fresh dings and "aging marks". This is #231 of the original 250 made which are crafted of solid tonewoods instead of laminated like on the newer models. 1 7/8 nut, "V" profile neck. This is the second one of these I've owned, but I need to make some room in the closet, so something has to go. Comes with original "coffin" case, COA, and 1892 catalog of Washburn guitars. 575.00 shipped, insured to your door conn. US.

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | OK, this is one neat lil' git! The workmanship is top notch and the tone is a finger-pickin' hermit's dream. It really tucks in nicely, even with my extra lap...
I can just picture the final QC inspector reluctantly handing it over to the g'rilla in da alley... "Distress this 'un..."
Amazingly, it looks 75 y.o. with nothing to distract from it's structure and performance. So ya get an extra 50 years for yourself!
Yeah, I really liked it... just too many corners! ;) |

Location: South of most, North of few | it's not really a v, more like a "V". Really pronounced deep V. A lot of people have a problem with v necks, but this one doesn't bother me at all.

Location: Seoul, Korea | did not even realize the neck was 'v' or 'V'? when I played it, it did not feel any different from the normal round shaped neck. TJ, how many of these do you own? |

Location: South of most, North of few | Hey Simon, After I sold the other one to you, I ended up finding and buying another one cause I missed it. If this one stays, it wouldn't bother me at all. Just have the urge to sell something. :rolleyes: |

Location: South of most, North of few | Well....it sounds to me most like my old Gibson Blues King, or the Martin 00 I had. Definitely a "boxier" sound like the old time blues players recordings. Sharp edged tone I'd say. |

I personally like the idea of tying Jack to the front of the boat in a loin cloth to tempt the mermaids! Oh, the photos! Haw!

Location: South of most, North of few | Sad story. I took this one down to play it and noticed a buzz. After closer inspection, I noticed the bridge is starting to pull up. Took it to my luthier, and am in the process of getting it fixed. This means I will have more $ into it than I could recoup, so I guess it's staying here. |
