GEORGE WASHBURN, CIRCA 1982Ī DREADNOUGHT-FORM SOLID-BODY ACOUSTIC-ELECTRIC GUITAR, SBF-26 were producing higher quality and limited-edition instruments in the United States as well as their imported products. Ownership changed hands yet again in 1987 and was renamed Washburn International. In 1977 the brand was sold again to Chicago based Fretted Instruments Incorporated. The Washburn name was resurrected by the Los Angeles company Beckmen Musical Instruments in 1972, who had Washburn instruments produced under contract in Japan.
By 1940 the name had lost its luster in the market place and by the end of World War II no longer existed. In 1928 the name and manufacturing facilities were sold by Lyon & Healy to the wholesalers Tonk Brothers who found it challenging to manage the quality and production demands of a large fretted instrument factory. The Washburn name became synonymous with the small body “parlor” guitars of the period.

Highest pitched strat type that I own, but it plays pretty well for a cheap guitar.Please note lots marked with a square will be move… Mine is thinner, larger overall, more contoured, and has the printed flame top. The neck looks close to the same, but the body is a full thickness model that reminds you of the Japanese Squire bodies. Having said that, my teacher has an old Spectrum for sale hanging up at the shop, and it is a completely different guitar than the one I have. and it needs the tens on it to allow you to even tighten it enough for it to stay put. The truss rod was loose in the neck when I bought it. I just got a good one that when you put tens on, plays very well. I did purchase the Spectrum, as new with the protective films still on the pickups, for 30$. If I purchased every good deal he handed me, I would have to build a new wing on the house to hold them! I would have bought it, except all of the screws were rusted bad, to include all of the screws in the Floyd. The same guy handed me a Damian Elite yesterday I could have had for 80$.
