Guitar Care, Repair, Modification & Lutherie / Re: Lyon Bass (By Washburn) From 2006
« Last post by psp742 on May 19, 2013, 06:48:45 AM »cameradude, i can't seem to find your previous post with the pictures... what model is it? what is the pickup configurations ( precision, jazz, jazz bridge precision neck)? number of control knobs? we might not be able to get diagram for your exact model, but we can point you in a good direction. i suggest posting clear wide angle, close-up, macro pictures of the inside control wiring (much easier to diagnose the problem if you see where wire has come loose than just saying loose wire)

General Discussion / What's it worth
« Last post by ETH on May 19, 2013, 12:26:52 AM »I have a Washburn D66 SW Prairie Song Custom, I believe it is a 1980, the serial number starts with 80. It has a hairline crack at the base of the fret board that looks as it was repaired by epoxy that appears it goes up 6 frets. It has been that way since the first day I bought it. By the way I am the only owner and I bought it from the music store in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1981, the same year I was married. It has not changed, the sound is still absolutely beautiful. The rest of the guitar is flawless and the only thing I changed were the bridge pins, the ones that hold the stings into the guitar. I also still have the original case, it has a few bumps and bruises but it is still in great shape. I have to sell it. I have encountered some medical bills and have limited income and it saddens me to let it go. How much should I be asking for my guitar?

General Discussion on Washburn Electric Guitars / Re: Guitar body replacement?
« Last post by psp742 on May 18, 2013, 10:17:00 PM »bakura,
it is hard to find exact replacement body for most Washburn guitars, unless you buy another guitar and use that as a donor guitar.
you can try fixing the crack body, here are some tips http://www.mademan.com/mm/how-repair-cracks-guitar-body.html#vply=0 but if that is not your cup of tea, then may i suggest buying replacement bodies by AllParts http://www.allparts.com/guitar-bodies, Mightymite http://www.mightymite.com/Bodies.html, Warmoth http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Bodies/ buying a used donor guitar with similar pickup configuration should be something to consider too.
Anyway i hope you are able to find good solution for your predicament. Rock on!

Signature Series / NB Signature Series question
« Last post by gtd on May 18, 2013, 08:36:25 PM »Hello, I just picked this up used with a serial number of N 02060818, Made in Korea. It does not have the Bill Lawrence pickup, but has the W621 neck and W623 bridge. with a "Licenced under Floyd Rose" trem (does not say 600s). As best as I can tell this is made in 2002 but what I can't tell is if it is an N1 or N2. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

General Discussion on Washburn Electric Guitars / Re: Seeking info on my dad's old Wing Series
« Last post by psp742 on May 18, 2013, 05:57:38 PM »Snytefant,
Washburn made most of the vintage bass, electric and acoustic guitar in Japan and Korea (Samick which started a factory in Indonesia en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samick) with custom shop in USA.. I am merely speculating about Washburn operation... to avoid being label as foreign-made guitar the country of manufacture, model name and serial number were printed on paper (which in time the paper fell off), while in some of their other guitars had the information printed on the guitar itself.
I own 2 Maverick BTM mini electric guitars, the red (rare mint) Grover Rotomatic tuners, with info on paper, and blue (used) trapezoid tuners... missing all the paper stickers.
