Re: Another unmarked bowlback from the "attic"
David's right....extra / ultra light strings only on this.
It looks as if the neck might be in pretty playable shape.
The bridge looks a bit sketchioso but that can be adjusted / replaced much easier. Perhaps just a new bone saddle.
Could you post some more photos, please, if you have them. Most interested in a side view to check out the neck as well as some back views to see the neck and headstock.
Nick's guess of L+H is always a good one...particularly with that headstock profile, but I've never seen that pickguard on a Washburn.
The 118 model on page 138 of Keef Pleijsier's book doesn't really resemble this.
Nor did L+H typically use this type of bridge....of course it may be a replacement. Of course, Vega and the proto-Vegans did.
I'm thinking this could also be out of the NE.
Some more photos would help.
