The stripped down control layout features a 3 way pickup selector and 1 volume control. The Buzz Feiten Tuning System allows for perfect musical intonation at every point on the neck. An ebony fretboard with dot inlays makes for silky smooth comfort and playability. One of the hallmarks of the N4 is the Stephens Extended Cutaway on the maple neck which allows for unprecedented upper fret access. The original 4 Gotoh tuners are augmented by a newer Gotoh and a Grover® 18:1 tuner, exactly as it is on Nuno’s guitar. The N4 Authentic is made in the Washburn USA Custom Shop and features an alder body with a Seymour Duncan® ’59 neck pickup and Bill Lawrence® L-500 bridge pick-up complemented by a Floyd Rose® bridge & locking nut system with a D-Tuna for instant drop from E to D tuning. Impeccable attention to detail has been paid right down to the 2 replacement tuners Nuno added and the EVH D-Tuna on the Floyd Rose. Check our website often, but better yet, give us a call. For fans of Nuno, the N4 Authentic is as close to having Nuno’s actual guitar in hand as you can get. The Cordoba Master Series is a guitar inspired by five great luthiers: Antonio de Torres. The Washburn N4 has been inseparably associated with Nuno Bettencourt since its 1990 introduction. It has been painstakingly recreated in the USA Custom shop from Nuno’s original N4 by Washburn’s master luthiers and replicates every dent, ding, story, and nuance of personality contained in his guitar. The Washburn N4 Authentic is an exact replica of Nuno Bettencourt’s iconic N4 guitar.
