Comment on Washburn Guitars by Alexander

Hi Helen,
Congratulations on your vintage Washburn parlor guitar. Unfortunately, the official Washburn site does not provide information on old serial numbers. But Based on the serial number (A-1528) and the blurred “115” label, it’s likely your guitar dates to the early 1900s, aligning with Washburn’s production timeline under Lyon & Healy. Washburn guitars from this era are known for their craftsmanship, often featuring Brazilian rosewood backs, spruce tops, and intricate detailing. If it’s in beautiful condition, you’ve probably got a true gem! For precise dating, consulting Washburn archives or a vintage guitar expert might help confirm its exact year. Again, well done on your vintage find and enjoy your Washburn parlor guitar for many years ahead.
