100+ YEAR OLD 1897 Washburn Parlor Guitar $400

Post by Jeff Metz Jr. »

This is a pretty cool old box. Spruce top with Brazilian back and sides. Over 100 years old and it shows. Plenty of top cracks and a few others. All have been glued and cleated properly. Original Ivory tuning keys , and ivory bridge pins. Bridge looks to have been replaced but I will include a period style Pyramid bridge. Has actually been through the Famous Umanov guitar shop. Sticker inside from original Umanov location. Pretty cool stuff.
If your interested please make an offer! Has more inlays that others I have seen. Thanks

Asking $400 OBO

I have a very similar old Washburn (minus the binding), complete with multiple top cracks and Braz back and sides. It is a fingerstyle blues and ragtime dream instrument. It's got a mid-range honk that just won't quit. I don't know if you can find this sound in a new instrument. Brazilian rosewood is an expensive upgrade, and this is 100 years old. Somebody jump on this, please!

Thanks Mike!
I assure you I am willing to take any fair offer. I just need to move it to pay some debt.
