This is a Washburn dreadnought acoustic guitar, most likely a D28S (or very similar D-series model like D29S) from the 1980s to early 1990s (probably MIJ or Korean-made). 

Key Identifying Features from the Photos

•  Body Style: Classic dreadnought shape with a solid spruce top (light/natural finish), rosewood back and sides (multi-piece back with a visible center stripe/purfling, common on these models), and a dark marbled/tortoiseshell-style pickguard. 

•  Fretboard: Rosewood with small pearl/mother-of-pearl diamond or snowflake-style inlays (position markers). This is a hallmark of many Washburn D28S/D29S-style instruments. 

•  Headstock: Washburn logo (script style), slotted or standard with gold-colored tuners (3+3 configuration), typical of the era.

•  Bridge: Rosewood with 6 saddle pins (white/black dot style common).

•  Other Details: Simple binding and rosette. No visible serial number label (common issue—labels can fall out, fade, or be missing.

These guitars were designed as solid-top Martin-inspired dreadnoughts (often with laminate or solid rosewood back/sides depending on exact variant/year). The D28S typically featured a solid spruce top, rosewood back/sides (often 3-piece), mahogany neck, and snowflake/diamond inlays. 

Additional Context

•  Era & Origin: Likely 1980s–early 1990s (pre- or early Washburn import era). Washburn used various makers (Japan/Korea) for these.

These are solid players’ guitars with good tone projection.
