Washburn Style 1 1890s

€ 0,00

Out of stock

This Washburn Style 1 from the 1890s is a magnificent example of early American guitar making. It was built by Lyon & Healy in Chicago under the well-known Washburn name.

This ladder-braced parlor guitar features a solid spruce top. The sides and back are crafted from solid Brazilian rosewood. The Washburn stamp is still clearly visible on the body. In addition, the heel block bears the distinctive “Lyon & Healy Chicago” brand mark and the initials “A.D.”

The neck has a slim profile. The slotted headstock features later-model National tuners. To ensure optimal playability, we had the Washburn fully serviced. As part of this, the guitar was refretted, fitted with a new ebony nut, and equipped with a new bridge plate.

In short, a remarkable Washburn Style 1 from the 1890s. A rare piece of American guitar history that not only looks impressive, but above all sounds and plays fantastically.

Comes with a vintage Geib case with purple lining.
