Washburn Guitars --- a Chicago original since 1883!!
Steeped in the tradition of fine instrument making, Washburn guitar's dynamic 125 year history began in Chicago in 1883, with the original factory just blocks away from Maxwell Street - the hub of the growing and developing Chicago music scene - the center of the Delta Blues in the North - the dominant form of blues that would radically change the emerging sound of Rock & Roll!!!
There on Maxwell Street, as well as in alleyways, city sidewalks, bars and honky-tonks around the country, Washburn guitars were embraced as the very embodiment and reflective spirit of the hard working musicians who played them...... the same spirit guides Washburn to this day!!!
The history of Washburn, is the history of a wide range of musicians -- reflective of all music styles -- it is a history built by skilled craftsmen and musicians who share one common love - a passion for the guitar!!!
