Lyon By Washburn Appraisal

Lyon by Washburn Electric Guitar

This is a solid-body electric guitar from the 'Lyon by Washburn' line, specifically featuring a distinct offset double-cutaway body style. The instrument is finished in a unique, matte salmon or peach-colored textured finish that extends across the body and the front of the headstock. It features two black open-coil humbucking pickups, a standard fixed bridge with individual string saddles, and a control layout consisting of four knobs (likely two volume and two tone) and a three-way toggle switch. The neck features a dark rosewood or similar composite fretboard with circular white dot inlays. The headstock displays the 'Lyon by Washburn' logo in a scripted font. Construction appears to be an entry-level bolt-on neck design, likely dating from the early 2000s when these were mass-produced. Condition-wise, the guitar shows signs of light use but appears generally well-maintained with no significant chips or cracks visible in the body finish. The chrome hardware (tuning pegs and bridge) appears to be in functional condition with minimal pitting. As a 'budget-friendly' line originally marketed towards beginners, the craftsmanship is utilitarian, prioritizing durability and basic playability over professional-grade hardware.
