Parlor guitar ( 1894 ) and `` New Model '' ( 1896 ) right : archtop guitar model 5250 ( 1928 ) . Lyon & Healy began in 1864 as a partnership of businessmen George W. Lyon and Patrick J. Healy , acting as the Chicago outlet for Boston sheet music publisher Oliver Ditson and Company . By 1865 , Lyon & Healy had expanded into reed organs and some small instruments . The company achieved independence by 1880 , and around 1888 the company launched fully into fretted and plucked instruments ( guitars , mandolins , banjos , and zithers ) under the `` Washburn '' brand , which happened to be Lyon 's middle name . Tracing the history of any particular instrument of this period presents many obstacles . Not only did the Lyon & Healy company often change designs to follow the rapidly evolving consumer demand , but the company also repaired instruments , and offered engraving services , including decorating instruments that it retailed but did not actually manufacture . As well , they built instruments for other retailers and distributors under various house brands , and outsourced construction of some models . In 1912 , Washburn introduced the Lakeside Jumbo guitar , which some consider the first dreadnought - sized guitar . It bridged the gap between smaller - bodied `` parlor '' guitars of the late 19th and early 20th century and modern - day dreadnought and jumbo acoustic guitars . George Lyon retired from the company in 1889 ( died 1894 ) . Patrick Healy then led the company into a period of major expansion , beginning with a larger new factory and improved mass - production techniques , and soon dominated the domestic market . Their 1892 catalog claimed to manufacture 100,000 instruments annually . Healy died 1905 . By the 1920s , Lyon & Healy faced growing competition from other instrument manufacturers as well as from the rise of other forms of entertainment , particularly film and the gramophone . Lyon & Healy gradually shifted manufacturing chores onto wholesaler Tonk Brothers , to whom they sold the guitar portion of the business in 1928 , continuing to produce their own lines of harps , pianos , and organs . Tonk Brothers turned to manufacturer J.R. Stewart Company to purchase and operate the massive factory , but this transition proved problematic and Stewart went bankrupt in 1930 . Some of the Stewart assets were acquired by the Regal Musical Instrument Company , which had purchased the `` Regal '' brand name in 1908 from Lyon & Healy ( who acquired it in 1905 ) . Regal was chosen to reopen the Washburn factory ( producing Regal instruments as well ) . Though the Washburn brand was preserved , it never regained its preeminence , and by the early 1940s had declined to nothing . Modern era ( edit ) An unbroken lineage is often alluded to by Washburn International ( in press releases and advertising materials , and on the company website ) : `` Washburn has been building stringed instruments since 1883. ... 130 years of history is at the root of our strong foundation building high quality instruments . '' There is no direct connection between the original Washburn brand and the modern Washburn International . In the early 1960s , retail store The Chicago Guitar Gallery hired Rudolf `` Rudy '' Schlacher , a young German violin builder , as a repair technician . A few years later , Schlacher opened The Sound Post ( in Evanston , Illinois ) to focus on guitars . He soon realized the sales potential for lower - cost quality instruments . Tom Beckmen and his wife Judy Fink Beckmen in 1972 left careers as music salesman and teacher ( respectively ) to launch a wholesale music business in Los Angeles , Beckmen Musical Instruments . It was Beckmen Music that resurrected the Washburn name , and beginning in 1974 applied it to a series of quality imported acoustic guitars , made in Japan by Terada , as well as a selection of mandolins and banjos . With that groundwork laid , Schlacher and Rick Johnstone , as Fretted Industries , Inc. , acquired the Washburn name in 1977 ( for $13,000 ) when the Beckmens took their business a different direction , and so the Washburn name was returned to Chicago . With assistance from Ikutaro Kakehashi ( founder of Roland Corporation ) , Schlacher was able to find instrument factories in Japan that could meet the desired standards . Fretted Industries acquired other lines as well , such as Oscar Schmidt autoharps . Schlacher bought out Johnstone in 1987 , and changed the company name to Washburn International . A stateside manufacturing operation was opened in 1991 for higher - end , short - run , and one - off instruments , as well as development and prototyping . That year , a Chicago Tribune article confidently places Washburn `` among the top three guitar manufacturers in the world , '' behind only Fender and Gibson . On December 15 , 2002 , Washburn International announced that it had completed acquisition of U.S. Music Corporation , and would be rolling its assets into that company in a reverse merger . Schlacher remained as CFO , appointing Gary Gryczan to COO ; Gryczan had been Washburn 's CFO from 1995 through 1998 . The new USM 's headquarters were in Mundelein ( 440 E. Courtland Street ) , which also housed the stateside Washburn luthiery , often referred to as `` the USA Custom Shop . '' Schlacher announced completion of selling USM to JAM Industries on August 24 , 2009 , and that he would be stepping away from his company after fully four decades . We are pleased to join forces with a strategic partner like Jam Industries , that has a long , successful history in the music industry and has been a long - term business partner with U.S. Music for more than 20 years . It has been a thrilling and rewarding 40 - year ride that has allowed me to realize my dreams and goals . As RS Consulting he remained a consultant to the musical - instrument industry and was an executive producer for a small - budget film The corporate offices of U.S. Music were relocated to Buffalo Grove in 2012 . Production ( edit ) Very few modern Washburn instruments have been built by the company itself . It has relied on outside factories and luthiers to fulfill their designs and meet public demand . The first modern Washburn instruments were full - size acoustic guitars imported from Japan by Beckmen Music . The 1974 range included one folk - style guitar ( W - 200 ) and eight dreadnoughts of increasing quality and decoration : W - 240 - 12 , W - 250 , W - 260 , W - 280 , W - 300 , W - 300 - 12 , W - 500 , W - 600 . These were constructed by Yamaki . Under Rudy Schacher , most Washburn models were ordered in runs of 200 units , rather than ongoing production ; if sales went well , a further run might be ordered . This application of just - in - time manufacturing ( or lean manufacturing ) kept the company from needing to warehouse and liquidate overproduction , improving profitability . As a result , many Washburn instruments ( acoustic or electric ) are difficult to locate once out of production , and are scarcer than the `` limited editions '' of other manufacturers . Some late - 1970s Washburn - branded acoustic guitars were made in Japan by luthier Sadao Yairi and his son Hiroshi . ( Their shop built instruments under a variety of labels , and took contract work for brands including Alvarez , which also had a long - standing relationship with Kazuo Yairi , Sadao 's nephew . ) The first Washburn electric guitars were the Wing Series models , offered 1978 - 1984 . This series of instruments featured innovative push - pull split humbuckers , brass hardware and inlays , and neck - through construction . Most of the Wing Series models were produced by Yamaki , a Japanese manufacturer of Washburn acoustic guitars as well as the Daion brand ( late 1970s to early 1980s ) . By 1991 , production of Washburn instruments had shifted almost entirely to Korea , built by Samick . Between 1994 and 2001 , ten models of acoustic guitar were built for Washburn in the United States , five by Tacoma Guitars ( Tacoma , Washington ) and five by Bourgeois Guitars ( Lewiston , Maine ) . Washburn brought out a line of four USA - made dreadnoughts , available from 2002 to 2008 . These were the D - 78 , D - 80 , D - 82 , and D - 84 . ( All had the `` - SW '' suffix , for `` solid wood , '' indicating that no laminate wood was employed . ) The rare Korea - made J - 14 ( 1998 ) and J - 15 ( 1998 - 1999 ) archtops were among the highest - priced Washburn guitars ever made . In 2012 , when JAM Industries declined to renew the lease on the Mundelein facility , the Washburn luthiery closed . At the time , it was the ninth - largest employer in the village ( the third - largest business ) , providing 180 jobs . The stated intent was to reopen at a smaller building in Buffalo Grove ( 1000 Corporate Grove Drive ) but this did not materialize , and is the probable end to Washburn instruments made in the United States . As of 2017 , primary production has largely shifted from Korea to factories in China and Indonesia . Innovation and success ( edit ) Most widely known for its guitars ( both electric and acoustic ) , Washburn also makes electric basses , acoustic basses , banjos , mandolins , travel guitars , ukuleles , and amplifiers , as well as accessories including guitar cases , clothing , tuners , and straps . In the 1980s , Washburn introduced the Festival Series of acoustic / electric guitars ( the EA series , for `` electrified acoustic '' ) . They were thinner than standard acoustic guitars and less acoustically resonant by design , thereby reducing susceptibility to feedback , a significant problem using acoustic or electrified acoustic guitars in large - venue performances . The addition in later models of sound slots ( rather than the traditional round soundhole ) , a patented innovation , further reduced the possibility of feedback , and the guitars quickly became the go - to stage acoustic for artists such as Jimmy Page , George Harrison , and Bob Dylan . In the early 1990s when MTV introduced their Unplugged series , hardly a show went by without seeing a Festival Series guitar . The design also lent itself well to acoustic basses , and Washburn 's AB Series quickly became popular both for its look and its tone , whether amplified or unplugged . Headstock of a Washburn RB2802 eight - string bass . In recent years , Washburn licensed several notable guitar construction features : the Buzz Feiten Tuning System -- a corrected - temperation tuning formula , using a compensated nut and saddle to minimize the inherent intonation problems of the Western tuning formula . The BFTS was first used by Washburn in 1995 on a very few models , then increasingly with the introduction of the WI - 64 ( 1999 ) , and was entirely phased out after the 2010 production year . At its peak , this system came standard on U.S. - made Washburn guitars and basses and the better imports . Stephen 's Extended Cutaway -- a unique bolt - on neck joint invented by luthier Stephen Davies to allow greater unrestricted access for a guitarist 's fretting hand . Used primarily with the Nuno Bettencourt signature models , the SEC has also been employed with acoustic guitars , and is still in use on some current ( 2017 ) models of the Parallaxe line of shredders . Voice Contour Control ( VCC ) -- a special potentiometer and wiring , intended to allow access to the entire range of tones `` between '' the one - coil ( `` single - coil '' mode ) and two - coil sounds of a humbucking pickup , rather than one or the other . Designed by Trevor Wilkinson , the VCC is no longer in use by Washburn , but is available in various models of Vintage ( UK ) guitar as the Roll Control knob . VCC is similar to coil splitting , in that it changes the tone of a humbucking pick - up to that of a single coil , but it does it by turning the tone knob ... without the hum normally associated with single coils . Model number suffixes ( edit ) Over the past 40 years , Washburn has accreted a system of identifying some of the most pertinent features in many of its acoustic instruments and some of the electric . Additional letters may be used to indicate the instrument 's finish . While imperfectly applied , and sometimes awkwardly long , this can often be useful in identifying a given guitar . suffix -- C - cutaway DL - deluxe ( generally , a standard model with a few upgraded features ) E - electric ( i.e. , built - in pickup ) K - kit ( i.e. , includes case or gig bag ) LH - left - handed M - mahogany top Q - quilt maple top R - rosewood S - solid - wood top ( rather than laminate ) SP - spalt maple top SW - solid wood used throughout V - vibrato ( on electric guitars ) This often combines with the prefix to tell a guitar 's story . For example , the WLG110SWCEK indicates that it 's part of the Woodline series ( WL - ) , likely top of the line ( 110 ) , Grand Auditorium ( G ) size , all solid wood , cutaway , piezo pickup , and originally included a case .
