Washburn--Guitars and More

In the late 1800s, Chicago was a center for musical instrument makers, and Washburn was one of the industry leaders.  By the 1920's, there was a vibrant blues scene in Chicago on Maxwell Street.  The music created there would become the foundation of both the blues and rock music created in America for decades to come.  And much of that music was written and performed with Washburn instruments.

Today Washburn, and it's subsidiary Oscar Schmidt,  make a wide variety of instruments including acoustic and electric guitars, banjos, mandolins, hollow body jazz guitars, and electric basses.  Known for innovative designs, high quality materials, and superb craftsmanship, there is a Washburn instrument suitable for all players and all styles of music. 

We just received a natural finish HB35 with a beautifully quilted back and excellent flame top.  It is a great guitar at a very affordable price.

And we are stocking Oscar Schmidt ukuleles now as well.
