About Washburn Nuno Bettencourt N4

After meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, the Washburn N4 Authentic Electric Guitar emerges as a faithful replica of Nuno Bettencourt's iconic N4 guitar. This masterpiece, born in the USA Custom Shop, mirrors every dent, ding, and unique personality trait of Nuno's original N4, making it a must-have for any Nuno Bettencourt fan.

The Washburn N4 Authentic, a symbol of Nuno Bettencourt's musical journey since its introduction in 1990, is crafted with an alder body, featuring a Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and a Bill Lawrence L-500 bridge pickup. These elements, combined with a Floyd Rose bridge and locking nut system, deliver a sound that is as authentic as the guitar's aesthetic.

The N4 Authentic also includes an EVH D-Tuna on the Floyd Rose, allowing for an instant drop from E to D tuning, mirroring the exact setup on Nuno's personal guitar. The original 4 Gotoh tuners are supplemented by a newer Gotoh and a Grover 18:1 tuner, further enhancing the guitar's tuning stability and precision.

One of the standout features of the N4 Authentic is the Stephens Extended Cutaway on the maple neck. This design offers unprecedented upper fret access, making it an ideal choice for those who love to explore the full range of their instrument. The ebony fretboard, adorned with dot inlays, offers a smooth and comfortable playing experience.

The N4 Authentic also incorporates the Buzz Feiten Tuning System, ensuring perfect musical intonation across the entire neck. The streamlined control layout, featuring a 3-way pickup selector and a single volume control, keeps things simple and focused, just like Nuno's own setup.

In essence, the Nuno Bettencourt Signature Series N4AUTHENTIC Electric Guitar with Ebony Fretboard and Distressed finish is more than just an instrument; it's a piece of music history, meticulously recreated for today's discerning musicians.
