Washburn built the HD80S-L-U as the Elite tier within their Heritage Series, positioning it at the upper end of that line. The instrument follows a dreadnought body shape and is configured as a left-handed six-string acoustic guitar, finished in gloss natural.
The top is solid spruce braced with a quarter-sawn scalloped X-brace pattern and carries a Washburn Heritage rosette with abalone binding. Back and sides are striped ebony in a high-gloss finish. The neck is okoume with a natural matte finish, joined to a laurel fretboard — a wood Washburn noted as similar in both appearance and hardness to East Indian rosewood — spanning 21 frets at a 25-1/2" scale. The nut is bone at 43mm width. The bridge is also laurel. Hardware throughout is chrome, with diecast tuners. Strings are D'Addario.
Owners seeking setup adjustments, replacement parts, or string and nut compatibility guidance should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician familiar with dreadnought acoustics and the specifications above.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
