Washburn N4 Nuno Bettencourt Signature Guitar

[Gringo]

I'm thinking of buying a Washburn N4 Nuno Bettencourt-guitar.

Should i go for it? Any owners?

The Nuno guitar is a pretty descent guitar. It's got a good sound to it. I'd suggest it

I'm not a shredder myself, but i play in both a bluesrock-group and a rockgroup influenced by bands like The Who and Cheap Trick.
Usually i'm into vintageguitars and have some Fenders and a Gibson Firebird, and the other bandmembers will probably kill me if i buy a guitar that's not vintage. But i think the N4 is probably the coolest looking guitar i know, and i like the simplicity with just one volume and a toggleswitch.

Their kinda funky lookin' these days...I LIKE IT!!!

NIce...

[Matt White]

Or...go with the Nuno replica...




And yes...GET THE FUNK OUT!!!

[Gringo]

The N5 and N6 are very cool guitars as well, especially the creamcoloured one with the gold pickguard. Very nice!

Here in Norway the Bettencourt-models are very hard to get, and costs a lot. But i guess they're worth it since they are USA Custom Shop-models.

Made to be funked on!

There has been so many Strat/Super Strat copies over the years it's mind numbing. Those Nunno signature guitars are different and tastefully done. The more I look at them the more I like them. I wonder who designed them because they just are plain good looking.

In fact, it's been a long time since I have looked at a new guitar design and have gone, Wow! that's a looker! These do that to me.

I love Strat styled guitars and I'm deffinately a shred and blues player. Sometimes I like to burn as fast as I can and other times I want to slow it down and get inside of the notes with a sexy touch. Kind of like sex. Sometimes you just want to pound the bitch fast and furiouse and next time you want to be all sexy and swanky feeling everything nice and slow. LOL!

I'm just real picky about the volume knob placement because I use it a lot for swells and to turn down. I don't like to hit the switch, so I kind of question the selector switch placement. Sometimes I knock a regular Strat out of position. I guess I'll have to play one.

But yeah, classic looks combined with a more modern look and something completely different. I tottaly dig it.

I totally agree! If there is something i don't like about my strat, it is the damn misplaced volumeknob! I also knock it out of position.
I also don't use the tonecontrols at all, so the Nuno-guitar must be perfect for me.

All i have to do now is to sell my Gibson, 'cause the Nuno is so damn expensive here in Norway.

Everything is expensive in Norway. My greatgrandfather immigrated to the United States from Norway so our family went back to the land of the family roots. Man! Your taxes are killer. Beautiful country though!
