1929-30 Tonk Bros. Washburn 5236

Open and loud, lightweight X-braced Washburn. 12-frets to the body, 14"wide at the lower bout. This Washburn is similar in size and design to alate 20's Martin 00-18. This guitar was built to sound good - it featuresX-bracing, Adirondack spruce top, dark mahogany top. It has an ebony boardand bridge, bar frets, slotted headstock with original engraved tuners andivoroid buttons. Ivoroid bound top, back, and soundhole. Thin Frenchpolish finish. The neck is very large in profile - maybe too large forsome, very comfortable for others. These instruments are very rare inmahogany, and the Brazilian rosewood models approach Martin values. A greatguitar to flatpick or fingerpick on.
New hard-shell case included
