Washburn N24
Channel Iconic Rock Tones with the Washburn N24-Nuno Bettencourt Vintage Padauk Electric Guitar!
Designed by guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt, the Washburn N24-Nuno Bettencourt Vintage Padauk electric guitar offers fast playability and versatile tone, perfect for serious guitarists and Extreme fans alike. Crafted in collaboration with Nuno Bettencourt, this signature model combines premium components with an elegant yet resilient padauk body, allowing you to unleash the iconic rock tones of Extreme's legendary lead guitarist.
Padauk Construction for Resonant Tone
The N24's padauk body not only gives it a striking appearance but also delivers a focused midrange punch. Padauk, a dense and durable African hardwood, is celebrated for its musical qualities. Its warmth and resonance help the N24's humbuckers produce rich harmonic overtones and singing sustain. Complemented by a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, this combination enhances note definition and clarity, making the N24 highly responsive for articulate lead playing.
Fast Maple Neck for Low-Action Playability
Whether shredding through one of Nuno's solos or improvising your own lines, the N24's maple neck ensures swift and effortless playability. With its slim profile and low action, rapid position shifts and finger stretches are a breeze. A 12" radius and jumbo frets further facilitate quick, precise fingering, allowing intricate passages to flow seamlessly from your imagination to your amp.
Powerful Humbuckers for High-Gain Overdrive
Equipped with aggressive humbucking pickups, the N24 thrives on overdrive and distortion. The Washburn neck pickup provides tight lows and focused mids, ideal for chugging rhythm parts, while the Duncan '59 bridge pickup delivers snarling highs and harmonically rich leads. These pickups capture the saturated tones that define Nuno's signature sound, handling high gain without losing note clarity or definition. Achieve thick, sustaining distortion that articulates every expressive nuance and bend.
The Washburn N24-Nuno Bettencourt Vintage Padauk electric guitar offers a piece of rock history along with Nuno's versatile and technically advanced voice. With premium components, fast playability, and tone tailored for high-gain soloing, the N24 delivers it all in one stunning signature model.
