The six-string D-25 ran 1985-2000; one of Washburn's longest-lived guitar models, ever. Looks like it could have had either a spruce or a cedar top. An unusual model in that very few quality Washie boxes were ever offered in sunburst (D-21, D-25, D-34), so if you have a 'burst that might push cost a little. Could be MIJ, or MIK. In any case, a decent (if underappreciated) guitar.
The 12-string version is harder to find, sold 1985-1992, so likely MIJ.
Ah, the valuation question. By "worth," that varies depending whether you want to know what you ought at most pay,
OR what you can quickly sell it for when you snag it. FFI:
http://forums.washburn.com/index.php/topic,26499.0.htmlTo give you a reasonably accurate number, you should probably tell me about the actual guitar, not a passing glance. How does it play? Is there any rattle/buzz? Is the neck straight? string height good? nut & bridge accurate? any separation at neck heel or bridgeplate? And are there any chips/dings showing wood? Does it have a Washburn hard case?
Lacking that info, I can only estimate/guess...
(
RATIONALE -- 12-string: $25-$50 more than D-25S.
MIJ: Jim Smith said they're better-sounding than any Washie since.
demand: low
market drive: low
recent similar sales: few. (FWIW, sunburst seems to have no effect on price of six-string.) A 12 went for $350, but another is being ignored at $300. The six has sold for as little as $200.
point of interest -- though a "D" prefix, the D-25 is slope-shouldered, therefore a "southern jumbo" shape.
If near-perfect AND properly adjusted, with case, & you reallyREALLY want a nice 12-string for yourself, you might offer as high as $350.
Drop ~$25 for each of the following:
- string buzz when played
- no case (hard sides, & fitted to sloped shoulders)
- needs minor parts (strap button, bridge pin)
- headstock dings showing wood
- deep marks/gouges/dings on body
Drop ~$50 for each of the following:
- rattle in body when played
- needs moderate repair (broken nut, broken tuner)
- component separations (neck heel, bridgeplate)
- dings showing splinters
