This is a beautiful Washburn W-400 acoustic guitar, a standout example of late-1970s / early-1980s Japanese guitar building — an era known for exceptional quality and attention to detail.
This is not your average beginner instrument. The W-400 was part of Washburn’s higher-end lineup, built during the so-called “golden era” of Japanese acoustics, where craftsmanship often rivaled — and sometimes exceeded — contemporary American models.
Key features include a jumbo body design – delivering a rich, full-bodied tone with excellent projection and depth, the use of high-quality tonewoods – rosewood and spruce, giving a warm, resonant voice with strong bass response and clear highs with decades of natural aging opening up the sound beautifully, decorated with elegant block inlays – a visually striking fretboard with a classic, upscale look. There are gold tuning machines – providing a smooth, stable tuning and a mark of the model’s premium spec. Adorned with multi-ring rosette & detailed binding – refined finishing touches throughout.
This guitar has the character you only get from a well-made vintage instrument — responsive, resonant, and inspiring to play. Whether you’re a collector, a player looking for something with soul, or someone who appreciates the craftsmanship of older instruments, this W-400 delivers.
It also comes with a high-end Breedlove hard case, offering excellent protection and adding significant value — perfect for storage, transport, or gigging.
Condition is very good for its age, with only minor signs of use consistent with a vintage guitar. It has been well cared for and remains structurally sound. Vintage Japanese Washburns like this are increasingly sought after for their build quality, tonal maturity, and value compared to modern equivalents. This is a serious acoustic guitar with heritage and presence — not a mass-produced beginner model.
A fantastic opportunity to own a piece of Washburn history, complete with a premium case.
Collection from Algoz or Sao Bartolomeu de Messines in Central Algarve.
