Not to be confused with modern Washburn guitars, the early 1900's models have become very desirable. The history may be a little confusing - but these early George Washburn guitars were made before the company was sold to Tonk Bros, and made by Regal. I’ve had a few of these early parlour guitars, but never one in all Mahogany, and tonally it’s quite different - much smoother and warmer than those with Spruce tops. The top and sides are in very good, crack free condition, although the back has had several repairs, and there is a neck repair. Having said that, the guitar feels strong, plays well and sounds really distinctive. It even comes in it’s original case.
