Advert Description
1989 Washburn HB 50 made in Japan. Quality guitar in very good original condition overall with some fine scuff and polish marks but nothing major. The top has one wear mark above the tone knob where the finish is missing, another by the bottom strap lock and one on the side. Structural condition is excellent. The neck is straight and there are no breaks, cracks or repairs. Gold bridge and stoptail hardware show minor tarnishing/wear. The first five frets show some wear but still have plenty of use left. The rest of the frets show very little wear. Played but not abused and well cared for. Odd blemish (see photos) but mainly only general wear marks to be expected from play. Perfect working order.
The HB 50 was produced in limited numbers in 1989 and 1990 - I believe only around 80 cherry examples were made.
