1920s Lyon & Healy Style-E

Washburn / Lyon & Healy Style-E

Washburn" has a long history since the 19th century.
Today, the company tends to have a strong image of electric mandolins, as represented by models such as the Nuno Bettencourt, but in its early days, it was famous as a mandolin maker.
In fact, it was not "Martin" who first commercialized the dreadnought-sized acoustic guitar, but "Washburn" released it in 1912 under the model name of "LAKESIDE JUMBO". It is no doubt that Washburn is an indispensable brand in the history of acoustic guitars.

The model introduced here is the "Lyon & Healy Style-E" manufactured in the 1920s.
This is a 12F-jointed parlor size steel-stringed instrument with a medium scale.
The neck is 43mm wide with a tight V-shape.
The top is made of spruce with a tight grain, and the side backs are made of pear wood (Nyssawood), which is almost unheard of today.

Since the side backs are plywood with ladder bracing, one might have negative preconceptions about the sound, but the tone far exceeds expectations in a good way.
The dry, penetrating sound that you get when you play a single chord can only be experienced with a good, old instrument.
There are only a few or none of the recent all-single-board models that can provide this kind of impression.
It is a miracle that it is still in existence today after 100 years of production.
