It did, however, need a good setup desperately as it played only marginally acceptable. This guitar has received all the maintenance due an acoustic instrument thats a century old, boasting a fresh neck reset, tall carved bone saddle, and a fret l. This guitar had previous work including, presumably, a neck reset - but also an installation of a replacement bridge (in the 'flattened pyramid' Chicago style), newer tuners (kinda ick but functional), and a coat of French polish to clean up the (original) finish. Up for sale, a circa 1920s Washburn Style 115 parlor guitar in exceptional condition, featuring solid Brazilian rosewood back and sides. I'm guessing it might've been sold under their Lakeside or American Conservatory brands. This a model 5235 Washburn made by Lyon and Healy. The company also made musical instruments but is best known as a manufacturer of harps. Based on the Mahogany back & sides, it’s likely from the 20s.

I'm certain that this was made by Regal for Lyon & Healy as it specs out (and is built) just like a contemporaneous Regal (transverse ladder bracing, even) but has fancier 'Washburn'-style appointments in terms of bound headstock and fretboard. Lyon and Healy or Bruno Vintage Parlor Guitar late 1800s or early 1900s. I played tonight at a joint gig with my buddy Aaron's band going first and his guitar player came in early with this nice old L&H parlor for a quick setup - which it got, plus new ebony pins, and a set of new strings. In summer, walk-in repairs are always interesting.
