The pearwood back has some lively grain figure, quite unlike most other tonewoods. The Style "E" was the fifth model down the line and features a body made of figured pearwood ("Nyssawood" in Washburn's parlance) and a cedar neck, good quality spruce top, rosewood fingerboard and minimal decoration. In the early 1920s Washburn did an aesthetic about-face previously their guitars had been known for having very elaborate inlay and decoration, but the 1922 line was suddenly sleek and mostly unadorned. This lovely if unassuming little guitar was a product of Chicago's Lyon & Healy factory, and carries their premium Washburn brand. Washburn Style E Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar, made by Lyon & Healy (1923-5), made in Chicago, serial # 6607, natural finish, pearwood back and sides,cedar neck spruce top, rosewood fingerboard, black chipboard case.
