Washburn built the WP55NS-W-U as part of its Parlor Series, grounding the design in the company's Style 306 pattern originally constructed in 1889. The model sat within a line that drew on Washburn's pre-twentieth-century acoustic heritage, presenting a parlor-format instrument in an all-Koa configuration.
The body — top, back, and sides — is constructed from Koa, paired with a quarter-sawn scalloped-X bracing pattern beneath the top. The mahogany neck, finished in satin, carries a two-way truss rod and meets a walnut fretboard spanning 18 frets. Nut material is bone at a width of 1-3/4", and the scale runs 24-3/4". The Washburn smile bridge is walnut. Appointments include a Style 306 abalone rosette and matching fingerboard inlays referencing the 1889 origin point. Gold open-gear tuners complete the hardware suite. The guitar ships strung with a D'Addario EXP-16 light phosphor bronze set. The overall finish is natural satin.
Owners seeking setup adjustments, fret work, or compatible replacement parts — including walnut bridge saddles, bone nut blanks, or period-appropriate gold open-gear tuner sets — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician familiar with parlor-scale instruments.
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.
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.
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.
