Washburn Lyon 1990s - Dover White Front with EVH Style Taping Design, Black Gloss Body

Recsued and Restored Washburn Lyon S-style guitar, refinished with new electronics.

This is another example of Triage Guitar Shop of West Palm Beach Florida saving an abused or abandoned classic.

When first acquired, this was just a body and a neck. The original guitar had a tremolo, but during its hard life, it had a few too many hard whammies. The mounting deck was left weakened. I reinforced the deck so it could accomodate a hard tailpiece. So don't be surpised when you find nothing under the back cover.

The list below details the actions taken to return this classic to its glory days and to restore its playabilty.

Checked neck for straightness and refinished headstock

Leveled and polished frets with 0000 steel wool

Treated fingerboard to restore moisture to the wood

Painted and Taped EVH inspired design on front of body.

Designed and fabricated custom black pickguard

Rewired guitar with shieled cable, full size pots, new orange drop cap, a 5-way switch and new output jack, as well as, a rocker switch for coil splitting

Installed 2 invader style pickups and a quad hotrail humbucker in bridge position

Installed black closed 6 inline tuners

Reinforced bridge deck and installed black hardtail bridge

Installed 2 skull head design speed knobs

Installed new mushroom head strap buttons

Installed new set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky (.009-.042) strings

Great beginner or just fun guitar
