A charming turn-of-the-century Washburn parlor guitar, this circa-1900 acoustic delivers the dry, articulate voice and intimate feel that made small-bodied parlors a favorite for fingerstyle and folk players. Built during Washburn’s highly regarded Lyon & Healy era in Chicago, these guitars are known for their lightweight construction, comfortable proportions, and warm midrange response that records beautifully even over a century later.
This example carries all the character you’d hope for from a 100+ year-old instrument, with the naturally aged look and seasoned tone that only comes with decades of play. Any notable repairs, modifications, finish wear, or structural work help tell the story of an instrument that has survived generations while remaining a unique and inspiring vintage player today.
