  • Need help on a Washburn V

    Anybody here know about older Washburns? This was brought to me for a restoration but I would like to know if it's even worth messing with before I put any time into it. It was supposedly purchased somewhere in the 80s. Were they US made or imports? Are they of any value? I know nothing about Washburns so any help would be greatly appreciated.

          Wow, it's cool to find that out. He was willing to dump 200 to 300 into it for a mild restoration. I told him I'd better check it out first. Thanks for the info bro.

                  Oh yeah man, I had the A10V, which was kinda like an Explorer. Had a set neck, WonderBar...excellent axe. I sold it to Dave/Budman. That's probably one I should have kept. But...I say that all the time. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

                              Its Res' V. If it was original it would be a good score, but thats a big mod, big enough that I wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole.........
