Anyone know older washburns?

[coloradoman25]

I needed an old Kahler trem for a model 4 I was working on and I stumbled across this old washburn in a local pawn that had one.
Ive had it kickin around a while and never got around to dissassembling it or really doing much with it. In fact it was stuffed in a closet for about 3 years lol.
Well I got to looking at it today and its an older washburn in an Explorer type style.
Khaler Flyer trem.
A Lawrence Hum with MASSIVE protruding blades a no name neck pickup.
Gorgeous gloss maple neck with an oldschool washburn waterslide
George Washburn tuners.
I looks like an A20 which I was able to locate in sunburst on line today but I think its a lower end version.
Just wondering if I should part this thing for my project or ebay it and just buy a khaler rather than kill an old axe.
Pics shortly

Upon a stupid realization I have come to notice that this guitar was originally a strung thru.

The kahler was routed and installed, it didnt look too bad but not sure what I want to do with this beast, I am thinking part it out

Okay so takin it apart it is a bastardized mofo lol.

The humbucker looks like it used to be a single hole? It is a sealed lawrence with 2 massive blades and a textured top.

I paid 150 for this axe and figure the khaler is worth that anything else is bonus and this neck is sweet. Im thinkin im gonna make a beater shredder out of this.

It is definitely a weird one.

The setneck version was called the AS-10, I believe. I didn't know they had bolt-on versions. Carlos Cavazo played the setneck version in at least one Quiet Riot video.

The old Washburn A series were made by Matsumoku. Killer necks.
