This is a rare Washburn dreadnought model from 1993, presumably acquired from Washburn directly by the Steve Miller team.  It is unclear whether this was a guitar gifted to Steve Miller from Washburn or whether this guitar was purchased by Steve Miller from Washburn.  However, this guitar does include provenance from the Steve Miller gear warehouse.  Also provided with this package is a letter signed by Steve Miller's manager Scott Boorey from the original consignment store, Guitar Showcase in San Jose, CA.  According to the note on the reverse side of warehouse form, the guitar was once gifted to someone named Jenelle in 2006.  Somehow, sometime between 2006 and 2015, the guitar made its way back to Steve's collection and was subsequently consigned to Guitar Showcase.
