Description

Washburn built the HB35TSK as part of its Semi-Hollowbody Series, positioning the guitar as a thinline-style electric with a flame maple top over plain maple back and sides. The instrument carried dual Washburn humbuckers and gold hardware throughout, finished in Tobacco Sunburst with a gloss finish.

The hard maple neck meets a rosewood fretboard dressed with pearl and abalone split-block inlays across 22 frets at a 24.75" scale. Nut duties fall to a Graphtech Nubone unit at 43 mm width. The tune-o-matic bridge pairs with a separate tailpiece, and tuning is handled by Grover Exclusive 18:1 ratio machines in gold. Controls run to two volume and two tone pots with a three-way toggle pickup selector. The guitar shipped strung with D'Addario EXL 120 light-gauge strings and included a GC71 case.

Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the tune-o-matic bridge accepts standard metric or imperial saddle replacements depending on thread spec — a qualified luthier or guitar technician can confirm the correct fit before ordering. The Graphtech Nubone nut and Grover tuner posts follow widely available sizing standards, and a guitar technician will be able to cross-reference compatible replacements.

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.

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.
