Washburn, not your million dollar Martin or whatever. Nobody much likes
Washburn.

I looked at those pictures, and immediately wondered how
you got hold of my great-grandma's guitar! The one I have
is basically identical to yours, and was similarly abused
(a side kicked in, and a hot and leaky attic). After some
repair that I think was hamfisted, it plays reasonably well
and actually has a very pleasant sound with nylon strings.

Great work, Scott!
