Washburn Parlor, 125th Anniversary.
They made 250 of them.

Also known as Monkey Pod and Rain Tree.
Sales pitch- this beautifully grained wood sits comfortably in between the tonal offerings of Mahogany and Rosewood. The response curve starts high, dips a little and rises once more toward the top: somewhat less markedly than rosewood. The resulting sound is remarkably loud and responsive with evenly balanced harmonics.

Love the colors! Commonly called Monkeypod (around these parts, anyway), it kind of falls in between Koa and Mahogany, soundwise.

EDIT: Beat me to it, Legba. ;~}

I love that! I was just trying out a Washburn parlor guitar today at a local music store! But that one is over the top!
