Here is a special treat for vintage lovers! After making beautiful music for about 130 years, this 1890s Washburn New Model Parlor Guitar has finally found its way to our Shop. It's received a few repairs from our friends at Portland Fret Works, including some reglued/replaced braces, a glued crack on the bass side with cloth reinforcement, and new wood added as an overlay for the bridge plate. Now, this little parlor guitar is ready to find its next loving home with you. Please feel free to give us a call with any questions you may have.
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Very Good Vintage condition with moderate wear for an instrument of this age, including light scratches and other signs of normal handling and use. See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
