The 1939 Washburn Solo DeLuxe Super Auditorium 5246 is the inspiration behind the all-solid Revival Series Solo DeLuxe. Period details such as the narrow “Crown” headstock, 1939 Vintage Sunburst, Ivoroid binding and rosette, fingerboard inlay, and period faux-tortoise pickguard combine to create a visually stunning acoustic guitar. Torrefaction processes to woods age the materials much like would naturally happen over the course of 20+ years of air drying. Truly a magnificent instrument.
REVIVAL SERIES
130 years of history is at the root of our strong foundation building high quality instruments. It is this background that inspires us to create instruments for you and we hope you experience the exceptional value, playability and voice that is Washburn. In this brochure we encourage you to explore the Washburn line of fine instruments. We are sure you can find a musical partner in a Washburn, be it the quintessential Woodline Series, the legendary Heritage, the vintage inspired Revival; or our extensive variety of Americana models.

WASHBURN history
SERIES FEATURES
With roots going back before the Civil War, Washburn began as a partnership between George Washburn Lyon and Patrick Healy. Formed in Chicago, Illinois, Washburn has been building stringed instruments since 1883. An American institution, Washburn has built guitars, mandolins, banjos, ukuleles, and more throughout the years. Many of the biggest names in folk, rock, and blues have played Washburn and some of the most significant trendsetting music has been played on a Washburn. From early blues, to the inspiration behind the MTV Unplugged revival, to the modern day, Washburn has been a choice amongst the songsmiths of the day.
