Help me date my Woodstock

[chudsosoft]

I just got home with a great old guitar.  $325 + tax at the pawn shop.  I'll have photos later.  Anyway, some of you seem to know a lot about these, and here are some of the details you seem to ask for:

Tobacco sunburst, mahogany top.  The EQ is two knobs on a rosewood base.  Stamped "WOODSTOCK" on the inside next to an oval George Washburn logo.  Same logo appears on the back of the tuners.  Serial number is 81475.

Any info would be appreciated!  Thanks!

Most likely built in 1982.  Yours is probably the EA40 Woodstock, not the EA 20 that was briefly called the Woodstock.

Some more info.

In the mid-1980s, a spruce top replaced the mahogany top. Circa 1987, EQ300 electronics were introduced (sliders instead of knobs). By 1990, Equis II electronics were being used. This model had birdseye maple back/sides with Natural finish as an option
