WASHBURN CATALOG 2007 ACOUSTICS BLUEGRASS ELECTRICS A CHICAGO ORIGINAL SINCE 1883 SINCE ORIGINAL CHICAGO A Some stories demand to be told. Others are simply content on being heard. Heard through music, through lyrics, through a cultural revolution. This is the story of Washburn .

A CHICAGO ORIGINAL SINCE 1883 After the Great Fire of 1871, Chicago quickly became a national center of manufacturing. Steeped in the tradition of fine instrument making, ashburnW ’s dynamic 120-history began in Chicago in 1883. The original guitar factory was located just blocks away from Maxwell Street.

In the early 1920s, Maxwell Street itself would emerge as the epicenter of a musical movement. Often considered the first entry point for thousands of African-Americans arriving from the Mississippi Delta, Maxwell Street became a hotbed for Delta in its most raw and dramatic form. Newcomers and established musicians alike would listen and jam with one another in an atmosphere void of 120 commercial influence. Once recorded, this powerful, emotional style of music would not only YEARS become the dominant form of blues but would radically change the emerging sound of rock and roll. There, on Maxwell Street, as well as in alleyways, city sidewalks, bars, and honky-tonks around the Washburn continues to be a consistent country, were embraced as the very embodiment and reflective spirit leader in combining of the hard-working musicians who played them as well as the employees design, innovation, who designed and crafted them. It is that same spirit that guides and technology to Washburn to this day. deliver the rich, bold sounds for a vast “Washburn, Over One Hundred Years musical landscape. of Fine Stringed Instruments”, available online at washburn.com.

The history of Washburn Guitars is the history of a wide range of musicians. From blues players who shaped rock ‘n roll to multi-platinum recording artists to emerging guitar virtuosos. It is a history that can be heard and experienced every time you turn on the radio or listen to a live performance. It is a history built by skilled craftsmen and musicians who share one common love – a passion for the guitar.
