Washburn N4-Nuno Authentic USA Distressed Matte Electric Guitar Review

This USA-made N4 is as close to Nuno Bettencourt’s original as you can get without swiping it off stage. From the hand-distressed alder body to the exact tuner setup Nuno uses—including mismatched Gotoh and Grover tuners—it’s clear this isn’t your average signature guitar. Under the hood, it’s loaded with a Seymour Duncan ’59 in the neck and a Bill Lawrence L-500 in the bridge, giving you everything from warm cleans to cutting leads. Add in the Floyd Rose with an EVH D-Tuna and Stephen’s Extended Cutaway neck, and you’ve got a pro-level machine made for speed, tone, and attitude.
