Stumbled across one of these Washburn 125th anniversary parlour guitars today in Sam Ash.

For illustration, here's one in an Ebay listing -- Scroll down and check out the back of the neck! THAT is a V neck!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Washburn-R318SKK...3A1%7C294%3A50

The one I played had a long crack on the front below the bridge, discounted to $600 (from $1,000), but I've seen a-grade elsewhere for less. But it is a very cool player. I'm not into relics, but this model is relic'ed, and I have to say, on a new/old RI parlour guitar, it's pretty damn cool. The body on the one I played is a trembesi wood body, which I think is similar to monkey pod, with a solid spruce top. The Ebay listing is lam koa body model.

Just FYI.
