1980s Washburn D28S Dreadnought Guitar
Overview: The serialization suggests 1989 manufacture. This is a pretty bog-standard, nicer-grade import guitar for the time -- with a quality level around that of Alvarez-Yairi, lower-end Daion, and the like. It has a solid spruce top, spiffy-looking bridge, Martin-style headstock volute, nice inlay in the fretboard, sealed tuners, and a good, full sound. The back and sides are ply and it's been in good spec for the last 6 months or so that I've known it. It even has a K&K pickup installed (done by me a while back).
Repairs included: I gave this a level/dress of the frets, cleaning, setup work, and a K&K pickup install a while ago. It's still playing spot-on and ready to serve.
