Picked up this Washburn WG4S this morning for $360 CAD,
Seemed fine at first glance but after getting home and inspecting it there are a few off things.
Seller said he knew of no major repairs or replacements.
Bridge pins look replaced and not properly set.
The saddle doesn’t fully fill the bridge slot.
There looks to be a big scratch in the top, underneath the lacquer.
And to top it off there looks to be gluing done on the inside to repair loose bracing, picture doesn’t show the worst part, the bottom brace is also glued and still feels a bit loose.
A. Is this a knockoff? I didn’t even know they had fake Washburn.
B. how badly did I get fleeced here?
