Re: 1987-88 D32S
My info indicates the model was made from the late 80's to 1994. So, based on that and the serial number I'd say your guess of 1988 is a pretty good one.

Re: Washburn 5238 Advice Request
if it was me I would have it fixed first by someone who knows what they are doing as it sits you might get around 300 550 fixed will increase the price up to around the 800 area maybe a touch higher. ship around 200 250 to have it properly cleated

Re: Washburn 5238 Advice Request
Thank you for your perspective ship of fools. I have been told that the repair can run $20-30 per inch and this one is probably 24 inches. I am a little concerned about ending up selling the guitar just to pay for the repair.

How much do you have in the instrument already?

Re: first post hoping to gain some knowledge on d-28 serial # with handmade stamp
In Washburn nomenclature a "S" suffix typically means solid top with lam back and sides. All solid wood construction would typically have a "SW" suffix. All lam construction would not have any suffix. However, exceptions abound, particularly from th...

Jim Smith could probably give you more info on this. That grain matches up too perfectly on the inside and outside to be laminate. Looks solid to me. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a Beckman era Washburn.

This is a first version (1976-77) D -28 S.....this one has been mis-marked. (Your pictures clearly show the top to be solid)
My literature states this is a solid top with laminated sides and a 3 piece back. (The literature doesn't state...
