    Tom

    Hi, I have a white Washburn HM-20V that I would be willing to trade for a black one. Or if you have a black one you want to sell….. I’ll buy it from you!

    Also, I’m in the market for a Washburn HM-5V with the blood splatter paint job.

    Oh yeah, and finally I’m looking for a Red Lava colored Washburn EC36.

    Someone please hook me up!

      Sorry I can’t locate a black washboard for you – i’m in a similar position. I would like to know how much you’re asking for your white HM 20V, as I’m thinking of getting another.
      Cheers, Alex

      2. 1985 Washburn HM20V - Scalloped Neck
        B. stockton

        I have been searching for a 1985 Washburn HM20V with a scalloped neck. This guitar was worked on by my brother Garry Stockton (Detroit) and was known onstage as Screaming Mimi.

        What I know…

        neckthrough body – one piece construction – hand selected for tone
        top of the line hardware including locking nut and wonderbar tremolo system
        custom electronics – passive
        hand scalloped fingerboard by noted Detroit luthier Garry Stockton
        Very rare and very hot Stockton humbucking pickup in lead position
        custom anvil touring case

        I would be interested in purchasing this guitar, as my brother has passed on

        1. I have an HM-20V
          Mark Stadnyk

          Not sure I would be willing to sell it but I have a 1985 HM-20V all original, near-perfect condition, black with red binding. I contacted Dave Steffen at Washburn and sent him photos of it. He worked at Washburn in the 1980’s and remembers this model. He was surprised to see one still in such great shape, not many were made in that color combination. They were made in Japan, high quality and never seen for service. Mine has the original Washburn pickups, Wonderbar tremolo with bar, comes in the original factory case which is a bit scuffed up, but not too badly. If interested you can email me at [email protected] for photos.

    1. I have an Ex-Saxon one
      Alex

      Washburn used to have a back catalogue of most models – maybe it still exists somewhere. This model had the washburn ‘Wunderbar’ whammy. It came out with a host of similar shaped guitars with various pick-up configurations. Although the ehadstock is a little thin – mine moves slightly when I use the whammy – the guitar is tough. Sustain is good (solid wood body) and action is deliecious. A few olde blues hands have sneered at mine – then either heard it or had a go – and been amazed at its versatility, action and balance. If I ever get another guitar (have started rehearsals again after long break) I’d certainly rack down a Washburn if not an HM20V. I have some photocopies from a Washburn rep if you’d like to see them?
