Washburn built the HB35NK as part of its Semi-Hollowbody Series, positioning it as a thinline-style electric aimed at players seeking the acoustic resonance of a hollow construction paired with the output and feedback resistance of dual humbuckers. The model carried a natural gloss finish and gold hardware throughout.
The body combined a flame maple top with plain maple back and sides. The hard maple neck carried a rosewood fretboard with 22 frets, pearl and abalone split-block inlays, and a 43 mm Graphtech Nubone nut. Scale length ran 24.75 inches. Electronics consisted of two Washburn-branded humbuckers controlled by two volume and two tone pots feeding a three-way toggle selector. Hardware was uniformly gold: a tune-o-matic bridge with tailpiece, and Grover Exclusive 18:1 ratio tuning machines. The guitar shipped with D'Addario EXL120 light-gauge strings and a GC71 case.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the tune-o-matic bridge accepts standard metric or imperial saddles depending on the post spacing of the installed unit, and the Graphtech Nubone nut can be matched by width and slot profile at most lutherie suppliers. For setup, intonation or wiring work, a qualified guitar technician familiar with semi-hollow construction is the appropriate resource.
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.
