That "3682" bugs me. At first blush, I'd guess it a model number, the four-digit non-5xxx system being used roughly 1912-1923, but I can't find any proof the numbers ever went past 3200.

Looking again, I'd say the guitar rests in a full-sized case (dre...

Hi. I just purchased this 1896 New Model (says "123" on the headstock), and am very happy with it overall. Pictures shown below.

Yeah, it's got many fixed cracks on the lower bout, front and back, but they seem very secure.

Some other things of note:

Hi, David...welcome to the forum!

I can't answer all of your questions regarding the instrument, but I'll try. There are others  who are much more knowledgable than am I regarding the older parlor guitars, which is what your guitar is, so hopefully the...

Hi all- I've had a D17CEWR since around 2001 or so when I bought it off ebay.  Due to the second number in the serial number being kind of illegible (i always thought it was a 9 or 8 but have just figured out that it's a "3".... I also have thought it ...

Yes, yours is an all-laminate guitar. Washburn is very consistent with identifying those models with a solid wood top, the letter "S" is placed right after the model number.

For example, if yours had a solid wood top the model number would be D17SCE, w...

I'm still surprised to see a pin bridge with gut strings, though I guess it was sometimes done in ages past. It's possible that the guitar was originally meant to use steel strings. Though I've not verified, I've been told that tuners with steel shafts...

Hey all, I am refinishing a Washburn A-15V. The face of the headstock is chipped up pretty good. Is there a way to strip it down? Any one know what it's coated with? Thanks.

The EA series is one of the Festival Series of guitars.

While the chances are pretty good you can get some info in the Acoustic Guitars Forum, here's a link dedicated to the Festival Series. You might get more traffic there:

Not a Force/G -- headstock's different. Not a KC -- the cutaways aren't relieved. Not an MG -- 22 frets & ringed humbucker.

Seventy-five bucks is a decent price -- probably worth at least as much as the X-10, which goes for $80-$100 used. If you want t...
