    NGD Washburn Content

    Yesterday I scored a 1994 Washburn USA Silverado guitar. Turns out that while also being a US Custom shop creation, these guitars were built during a phase where Grover Jackson was involved with Washburn.

    The guitar was modded mainly in that the previous owner thought a purplish perloid pickguard would look nice, but they didn't get one that fit precisely. SO I'm on a quest to return it to original once I learn the correct part that was used.

    Specs include swamp ash body, 3 SD SSL-5s, Wilkinson VS100 bridge, Gotoh tuners.

    It will need a little care to fill a random screw hole in the body but given the deal I got this for I am more than happy.

    This makes the second US Washburn I own and I am very happy with the quality.

    Looks a lot like:

    Nice score! My Washburn X50 Pro is a beast and it's made in Korea (IIRC). Washburns are great axes.

      Congrats!! Yeah the Grover era Washies seemed to fly under the radar for a long time. They seem to be catching on a bit as prices are going up and they are alittle more scarce. They are great axes tho!
      Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

        And here is the final product.

        The new pickguard is now singly ply parchment with matching knobs which all seem to match with the pup covers . It now plays incredibly and looks good too.

        If anyone knows where to get replacement Wilkinson screws, let me know because one of them is missing from the saddle. They stay locked down with the top screw but the one that helps adjust the intonation setting from the back wasn't there and I'd like to get it in there.
