In its heyday at the turn of the century, Washburn sometimes put out guitars for the "big box" stores under the Lyon or Oscar Schmidt badge that appear to be identical to the main line, though I've yet to actually see one close-up to confirm. The clearest example has been the Idol Series WI-14 appearing as both the LI-14 and OI-14.
Here, we've got a Lyon version of the BT-2. It's one of the better CSB (cherry sunburst) finished I've seen on a BT-2 -- rich yet not the eye-killing fluorescent "clown paint" that sometimes shows up -- and apparently just a two-tone. I'm uncertain as to what its model number is, or whether it's got actual Rotomatics.
