Acoustic Guitar Players Post Comments & Questions / Re: Trying to get UPS to pay on damage claim, need original value for 1970s D62SW.

« on: Today at 11:01:32 AM »

Hey Dugly I am going to disagree with Tony here the D-62SW is completely different then the D-61SW and from a different time and maker
http://forums.washburn.com/index.php/topic,24745.msg155094.html#msg155094 here is a better estimate for what they are worth in great shape as yours had cracks in the top would reduce the price somewhat significantly so its kind of hard to say because of a difference in time so my best guess would be around $850.00 retail or if you go MSRP would be about another 200 or so
They were great guitars remember playing one when we were in Las Vegas that belonged to whats his name dang my memory ( Squint ) and heres another one that sold in 84 http://forums.washburn.com/index.php/topic,15346.30.html
hope this helps some.ship

Vintage and Rare Washburns / Re: Vintage Washburn Identify Please

well thats what I thought keef is the most knowledgeable person in the world when it comes to pre war Washburns he actually wrote a book on the subject so its like I thought its not a real Washburn and looking back I do remember seeing a label like that once before on a pieced together old parlor some one was trying to sell on Ebay

Howdy I myself am very unsure that it is a Washburn made guitar that label looks like nothing in any of my catalogues nor does it looks right with what looks like maybe had the whole top by the neck cut out and replaced with some other piece, I have sent a message to the one person who knows a lot more about these older models but I am sure he maybe confused by the label inside and with no center spline I am thinking someone may have made the label and stuck it in to represent Washburn.
Can you tell us what else the label says and those numbers make no sense.Looks as if someone deliberately removed a name on the head of the neck.

looks as if no one left gives a s**t about the site Jim and that all the knowledge you have will go down in flames and without a site they have no understanding that they will never capture the market no matter how good the guitars are anymore like a builders those that have a site survive and don't that dont have free flowing information will disappear from the market and looks like they are going to let that happen here to bad.

think Nick is gone Doug and not sure anybody gives a rats butt anymore here can never get admin to delete spammers anymore until several days later well you would think they would spend some time fixing things especially with the big show being over and them getting great reviews at NAMM

Doug try to sign in in the other spot not up top in the right corner but that bar that has home help search and so forth if I sign in on the top right my posts disappear but honestly I think there is only one guy left so with all his work I doubt he has much time left for this place, shame but thats life.

well what you have is a 1994 ( only made during that year) spruce top mahogany ( laminate ) b/s was one of the lower models but all that matters is that you love it I have never had an opportunity to play one so can't really tell you much more. good luck and enjoy

where the hell are they what is the point of keeping old posts that lead no where folks ask questions and there is no place for them to get the info  I realize you are just one guy webguy but dont you see that as being somewhat frustrating for those trying to help get info out there

General Discussion / Re: Washburn with no serial number on the label?

« on: February 15, 2018, 09:17:16 AM »

maybe they dont need the serial numbers as they are special runs for whom ever ordered them and there is that silly warranty card.  ship
