George Washburn Parlor Guitar, Slab Headstock, c. 1886

A George Washburn guitar in great condition from 1885-1887. While most models made during this period featured slotted headstocks, this model was one of the few to have a solid "peghead" headstock and it has survived with its original Champion friction tuners. These tuners debuted in 1885 and went on to become industry standard for banjos and ukuleles.

A true collector's item.
