Washburn N4 Nuno Bettencourt Signature Made in Japan Natural Oil Mat [08/14]

This is the signature model of Nuno Bettencourt, who established the "funk metal" genre, made his debut with EXTREME, and is still active as one of the leading guitar heroes of the 90's. This N4 was manufactured in Japan in the mid-90's. The ST shape is boldly downsized, and the unique joint system makes it the ultimate in high-fret playability. The body is a bold downsizing of the ST shape, and the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard feature a Stephens extended cutaway, a unique joint system that provides the ultimate in high-fret playability. Pickups are a combination of Nuno's favorite Duncan SH-1 and Bill Lawrence L-500. This model is very practical with simple controls such as one volume and pickup selector.

There are many scratches and dings scattered throughout, and the top of the body is partially darkened. The decal on the neck joint has been removed, and there is a gap between the body top and the neck joint, but there is no problem in use.
