I didn’t get an owners manual for my instrument. How can I find the nearest Washburn dealer? Turn the VCC knob up for a traditional humbucker sound turn it down for the character of a single coil. Washburn only offers cases for select instruments currently in production. I'm not sure what year this was made and Washburn insists that it was 1980. The serial number, stamped on the neck block, is 3991. Some models are produced in a left-handed configuration. I am an instrument dealer and would love to carry your product! All guitars and basses have serial numbers which start with a year prefix. If dimension measurements are required, we recommend measuring the instrument. Washburn Guitars has a storied history that started in Chicago in 1883. Any plastic strings for classical guitar would work though.The electro-acoustic models in this series have Fishman preamps. I use Nylgut "Alabastro" strings on mine and they sound and play great, Elderly Instruments has them. The straight across, non-compensated saddle will not play in tune with steel or silk and steel strings. It will be ladder braced and have a bridge plate that is in all likely hood be made from Spruce. This instrument would have been built for gut strings originally. It has the Ebony, flattened pyramid bridge I mentioned. Here is a picture I had handy in my computer from a vintage instrument exhibit we hosted in 07 of my Style 115 Washburn.
and there was a lot of parts swapping done at that time. The bridges would typically be Ebony and normally have flattened pyramid wings, this one looks more like one you would see on a Regal made guitar. It's hard to quit make out but it appears to be a style 115 (see bottom of the paper label). The serial number A3991 would date your guitar to 1907. The paper label in your Washburn was used from 1906/7 - 1915.
