| This is one sustaining and crunching cool looking axe. It's like KISS and Randy Rhodes and Kerri King got together and made the perfect axe. Condition: This ax is solid, yet has some buckle and bump scars from over 25 years of decent care. Look at the photos. Finish is an 8 out of 10, and even if you grade it worse, it's certainly not a 7 No Case/ No Gig Bag
NOW THE GOOD!!!
Extra Points on this unique vintage metal axe, that you can be sure there is not many of.
Set Neck like an Explorer The white parts on this black guitar have turned a beautiful honey/butter amber and it really is a beautiful vintage guitar. Unique V shaped neck gives you a dynamite feel for shred, and allows you to dig in for heavy chord pounding. Flat top and back, Stop Tailpiece string thru back for max sustain, and tuning stability --Finish: High gloss clear coat over black, neck and headstock with ebony binding outline top--which is FLAT, no arch at all. : Solid body, flat as flat gets; unique to Washburn, it's what I call a "sawn-off explorer" type of single cutaway, w/ no silly pointed ends poking out anywhere. --Neck-through-body, small headstock down-turned w/ all stock "George Washburn" (printed on back) chrome/gold tuners on top, in tight fitting row. Rosewood fret board, mother-of pearl dot inlays, honest aged binding runs body to nut along fret board Polygonal black truss rod cover, with white "A-10" engraved, --Solid Bridge with Tele string-thru body design
--4 control knobs for the stock dual humbuckers, 1 volume 1 tone for each pickup; ***NOTE: Stock p/u's were good and loud --Standard 3 way toggle switch near end of cutaway; not down by the knobs --Tele Style inset jack
--22 frets on Semi-deep V
--Woods: ?, I assume Mahogany/maple, it's relatively light axe--approx 8 lbs.
--Serial number indicates Year of Manufacture should be: "1981";
Finish cracks around neck pocket, but this joint is stable as a rock. The Polyester clear will do this. Just look at any polyester finished set neck. 
Serial Number dates this as a 1981 
Numerous buckle marks and small nicks are on the back. Nothing very serious, and all have been touched up.
