  1. Serial Number Question
    Norie

    I just bought a Washburn R314KK parlor guitar. The serial number is OI130501572, whic I believe the first two digits are letters oh and eye, and not numbers, which would make the first two numbers one and three. I wanted to see if this would make sense and what the meaning of the first two letter would be?

    I have two Korean made HB-35’s. They both start with 89. I know that’s the year. My question is how to read month and day? What do the last 4 digits mean? Thanks

  3. Washburn lyon 10b bass
    nyrobear

    I have an old washburn Lyon 10b bass guitar that was passed down to my dad by a family friend then me and I just want to know the year. I can’t find this model in catalogs or anywhere, it has a maple neck with a maple body, and a black pickguard. The serial number is 3031896. We assume its an early 2000s and for some reason I thought it was an 1989 guitar for a long time? I would just like some information on this guitar since i can’t find anything on this guitar anywhere.

  4. washburb tangle wood bought in spring 1980
    Craig Buckboro

    i bought this guitar new in spring of1980. Deep body dreadnaught withal sound hole and cutaway. It came with a passive pick-up system. S 79055 is on the block, 83007 is on the brace strip along the back of the guitar. It is identical to Dylan’s guitar on the cover of his REAL LIVE album, swell as the one on youtube where the guy claims he bought the guitar from Cliff Richard. What can you tell me about this guitar? Thanks.

  9. I actually have a Force30 -
    Anonymous

    I actually have a Force30 – believe this are all MIJ strat copies. Think the Force31 has double humbuckers (i.e. HH config) the Force30 is an SSS with coil tap. Almost positive that these were made in 1984 and had a pretty short production run.. I found someone at Elderly Instruments in Lansing MI (if you have never been and love guitars – you have to pilgrimage someday) who said that these were not very expensive (relatively) at the time but that they are pretty rare – which may mean something. My Force30 is metallic purple. I’ve restored the original “tweed” case and had the neck re-adjusted. Unfortunately it has a nice chip in the paint on the heel – which there is no way I’m going to try and match but otherwise it’s a great guitar. Get some pretty good tone out of it and it does have a phase switch (in addtional to the coil tap) so it’s prett versatile. I’ve tried contacting Washburn through thier website but no response for that or other Washburn’s that I have. 🙁
