Item Description

Washburn N4 EPNM PADAUK USA 2006w/Original Hard Case 3.67kg (2006)

In 1989, Extreme's first album "Extreme" was released, and the next year's super masterpiece "Pornograffitti" caused an uproar in the HR/HM world at the time.
The person playing the guitar at Extreme was Nuno Bettencourt, a guitar hero representing the 90s.
In addition to his superb technique, his unique phrasing and songwriting abilities are highly praised and he has a large number of fans.
In recent years, Rihanna's participation in her backing band and Generation Ax's participation have become a hot topic.

The guitar that Mr. Nuno has been using for many years is the Washburn N4. With simple controls, a small body, and a unique neck joint, it offers a user experience unlike any other guitar.
A long-selling Washburn product that has been used by many professional musicians in Japan, such as Akira Nakayama (Plastic Tree), Jesse (RIZE), and Karikan (Onmyouza), which is unusual for a signature model. It is also included.
This time we would like to introduce one of the N4 series that uses the particularly popular padouk wood.

As for the specs, first of all, the biggest feature is the use of Paduk wood for the neck/body.
The N4 normally has an alder body, but by using this hard wood, it has a more streamlined sound, a tighter bass, and a longer sustain.It also has a dark brown appearance. It gives off a strong presence.
Furthermore, the figured heather grain, which is rare for Paduk, gives it a luxurious feel.
The fingerboard is made of carefully selected black ebony.
Although it has a detachable structure (bolt-on structure), it uses a special joint (Stephen's cutaway), making access to the high frets surprisingly stress-free, making it a true value for lead play etc. I think he will demonstrate his true potential.
The Grover peg is equipped with a so-called "Schaller Floyd" shaped Floyd Rose tremolo made by German Schaller with the Washburn logo.

The pickups that are the key to the sound are Seymour Duncan SH-1 on the front and Bill Lawrence's L-500, which is synonymous with the rear.
Although dry, it has a well-balanced wide range, and in addition to excellent sustain, it also produces a hard rock-like crunchy distortion sound, as well as a thick, fat clean sound that won't hurt your ears. It boldly asserts its individuality.
Above all, the good response derived from Paduk wood and the sound clarity are excellent, and it outputs a high-resolution sound image without being buried in the band ensemble.

The condition is worrisome, but there are wood chips on the back of the head, and dents and scratches can be seen in various places, but the top of the body/head has no severe damage and looks clean.
In addition, there are no parts that affect the performance.
The parts also hardly feel any deterioration.
Many N4s have twists, but this one's neck is in very good condition, it's straight, there are no major dents on 60-70% of the frets, the truss rod is OK, and it can still be used.
Accessories include an arm and a hard shell case with the original logo.

Popular USA-made Paduk N4. We can confirm that some items with replacement parts or those with a lot of damage can be sold for around 350,000 to 400,000 yen, and this time we will be offering them at a special price.
Since it is an individual that not only looks good but also has a good sound, we expect it to sell quickly.
