The book is essential to identifying early Washburn’s. I have a 1905 Style 320. It would have been sold by mail order. It was the second to the largest guitar you could have bought back then. It belonged to my great grandfather. He purchased it used in 1925. I had it restored and upgraded with a 1960 Martin X-brace so it handles steel strings with no problem.

Elizabeth, (the guitar) sounds beautiful and is unique enough that i brought it to Norm’s rare guitars and Lemmo spent some time playing her and when he was done he sat there just staring……..and said, “wow”. Examples of these guitars that have been loved on are greatly undervalued! Your guitar sounds like it is one of these examples!

Lovely old Washburn acoustic guitar, I use Aguila Nylgut strings on my solid mahogany ukulele with excellent results. They take a week to stretch in, but once they have stabilized, they will stay in tune remarkably well. They seem to get better and better over the next month or so, and end up with a delightful woody tone. I play my ukulele fingerstyle, like a small classical guitar, and it's a lovely sounding instrument. I used think that ukuleles were just toys that kids played, then I saw a video of Jake Shimabukuro playing Queens Bohemian Rhapsody on a Ukulele and I was gobsmacked, and I had to have one. I bided my time, and Musicians Friend had a Stupid Deal of the Day, ($998 original price) sold mahogany concert Kala ukulele for $189. There was a change in the electronics between 2020 and 2021, so they were blowing out the 2020 models for a fifth of the original price. I bought a Hardshell Case for it, and I fell in love with it! I don't think I would have paid a thousand dollars for a ukulele, but I ended up with a thousand dollar ukulele for a couple of hundred dollars. It sounds so good that it can bring tears to my eyes.

My brother was in Bend OR visiting my parents in 1978 needing to pick up a small acoustic just to have something to play while there and his fantasy ideal at the time was an early steel-string Washburn. (Said that's what Blind Lemon Jefferson played.) This is a story of finding something in a music store where the people in the shop did not know what they had. He got that Washburn for $50 bucks -- the price they had been putting on any antique "Sears catalog" guitars they got in.

He had been playing some old small Gibsons and Martins that had "better" (deeper) tone than the Washburn, but I have to say that to my uninformed ears, the Washburn had a stand-out character. Can a guitar have rich sound and a thin sound at the same time? I would say, yes.

The refret would likely have been my first step. That bridge work is art man. The dots look great. Nice guitar. I noticed the D'Addario strings I last put on my 8 string tenor ukulele have been my favourite ever having tried all the aquila strings and ghs black nylon clear titanium etc. It's basically their nylgut version. I think you'd love my uke it's a conversion so I added 4 tuners 2 upside down up top and used ball ends to split the strings before the bridge and simply tied them together under the pin. Future plans include adding octave DG to a parlour guitar in the future.
