    Description

    Washburn Parlor (or maybe 00) sized 5200 Inspiration!
    Amazing resonant tone wood. Great sustain. Feather weight.
    Weight. 3.15lbs
    Length. 38 1/2”
    Upper bout. 9 7/8”
    Lower bout. 13 1/2”
    Depth. 4”
    Nut width. 1 7/8”
    Factory Second stamped on the back of the headstock. and Washburn/Tonk Bros stamp in sound hole. 5200 and 1356 on the neck block.
    Neck has a slight dip where neck meets body. I’m guessing the neck was reset. It was well done. It’s at a comfortable action and angle. Saddle is fairly low but could be taken down another 1 or 2 mm if desired. Feels great!
    Lots of light finish checks scratches on back side and bottom. One repaired crack with custom spline on face from bridge to bottom. 3 repaired back cracks with cleats. They are solid.
    Ebony fretboard with light wear Mostly within the first three frets/fingerboard. Frets are otherwise in very good shape. Beautiful beefy V-shaped neck! Action is low-medium height.
    Double bound body. Decorative and nicely detailed Washburn Inlays in face of head! I’m guessing spruce (or possibly cedar) top and mahogany neck, sides and back.
    Looks like replaced tuners with white plastic buttons. They hold tune well. Currently strong with new Martin Silk & Phosphur strings.
    Includes moderately worn plastic case which shows wear and damaged inner lining. Non smoking.
