The Washburn N4 model designed by Nuno Bettencourt and Stephen Davies has enjoyed incredible success since its introduction nearly 25 years ago, in 1990.
Unlike most signature model guitars, which appeal only to fans of that artist, the N4 has earned acceptance on its own terms as a great player’s ax. In fact, over the past decade or so, it’s likely that most guitarists that have bought an N4 don’t even know Nuno from their nana.
While the new N4 Authentic is an exact replica of Bettencourt’s main N4 guitar, it’s certain to appeal as much to guitarists who want a stripped-down, high-performance instrument with a comfortable broken-in feel as it does to the most die-hard Extreme fan.

This guy has chops, humility and passion... a virtually perfect guitar demo!
Paul can get it!
Nuno I believe approves of the playing done here on his sig guit ! Boy this guitar takes me back to my teen years when it first came out. I believe it came out around the same time as EVH's sig Music Man.
Pretty good interpretation of Nuno's style.
Thank you Paul for great demos.
Now that's good match of player to guitar!
This guitar was reasonably priced back in the day, about $500 or so. It's got not one but 2 amazingly bright humbuckers which will add balls to your playing. The super jumbo frets and unusual look were the only reasons I didn't buy it (went with a Kramer instead). I now regret it some 25 years later.
At that price,is that the N2
jesus christ, Paul has either been practicing his ass off, or was really good at hiding his skill back in the day in his first guitar world demo's.
Amazing Guitar and Amazing Review! Nuno Numero Uno.
That Bill Lawrence screams!!!!
Dude plays much better than he used to!
Nicely done, PAUL!
I'm not sure I would buy this guitar, but that was some awesome playing and a great demo.
oh man thats a guitar!
Bill Lawrence pups = win. Even with a "mis-matched" neck pup, always a unique tone. I got a Ultra XL500 in the bridge of my strat, w/ a standard Les Paul pup in the neck. Great tone, cheap price! This N4 guitar might make its way into my arsenal some day!
Awesome playing and awesome guitar from one of my biggest heroes!!!

ok......................
Nice guitar~ I love my N4 KOA
What a great video description! The only thing you missed was a small "N" written/scribbled in red ink on the back of the body. Ha! What a sexy guitar. So Happy to have landed one! AND, kick ass playing man!
I bought it. And it is awesome.
At InuYasha, Sesshomaru uses guitar washburn N4.
Washburn Face Eraser!
the tone❤️❤️❤️
I have the N 24f - the Floyd Special is junk and I'm gonna replace the pickups. But the neck? It is unreal, they did a very good job with the neck and fretboard.
Wouldn't using the D-Tuna on a full floating Floyd Rose change the tension on the trem, thus change the tuning on all the strings?
nice guitar
This guitar is gourgeous
I have the NX6TM and the one thing I HATED about it was the placement of the toggle switch. I would always hit it mistakenly while playing and ended up having it moved.
Well... that's not exactly an originally done N4.. Take the D-tuna away and, then, it's a '91 N4
Besides the Original Floyd Rose and a couple of minor details this looks like the Washburn N24F
Nice Paul.
my n4 says Seymour Duncan on one pickup and bill Lawrence usa on the other,,2005
My dream guitar... I could never afford this N4.. 😭
Mark Anthony Silvestre if u cant afford the n4 buy the n2 its almost the same and super affordable
damn even down to the tuners

How didn’t the bridge collapse back a little when he pulled the D tuna since it’s a fully floating trem system?
is it me, or have they sped up the first minute of the video? :(
I see the years have been kind...to the belly.
I dont know but the bridge pickup sounds so punchy. It's like a single coil pickup on steroids
I recall back in the day, feeling that this sort of guitar playing seemed dull, repetitive & pointless - this confirms my recolllection... ! Nice guitar, mind ;-)
So I buy this guitar and play just like him right? Right..........
Hi haw ist in kilograms ? Thanks
which amp are you playing on ? I do love the sound thar you have !! \m/
Love it. But seriously...who can afford it?
Washburn and Nuno forgot one thing...the String Tree/Tension bar on top of the headstock behind the nut.
Rifle Twist it's only relevant with guitars that have non-locking nuts. It doesn't matter here.
I have an N4 padauk and an N4 vintage.
The vintage has the 2 large screws on the back where the floyd rose cover would go, in the middle of the recess, on either side.
My padauk does not have these large screws.
Does anyone know what these 2 screws are for?
Why are they made differently?
The bridge pickup.
Why is it only on the VINTAGE and not the PADAUK?
Skibble5150 The vintage is basically the same as Nuno's which is a guitar he put together himself including switching to the Bill Lawrance pickup. The pickup doesn't fit a standard pickup ring, Nuno didn't have a BL one so reverse mounted it (I'm guessing here but this may have been inspired by the pickup mounting on the basses Gary Badger was using at the time) When they did the Padauk they used two Seymour pickups so use the normal ring. Some other models have the Lawrance pickup mounted to a ring rather than the reverse mount.
Great guitar but not worth the price! Wayyyyyyyyy too expensive! Go with the N2! I love mine and it was a fraction of the price. The thing plays super nice and clean.
Same pickup combination as Dimebag's, coincidence? I think not.
I wonder how would you adjust the truss rod on the Nuno Bettencourt guitar?
RD400D78 Thanks.
Love it! But if the Floyd is floating, which it is, how does the guitar stay in tune when you drop the low E?
All floating systems have a locking nut to keep tuning stable.
Rain593 yeah I know that, but the bridge floats in equilibrium when all the strings are in tune, alter the pitch of one string and you alter the tension across all 5 other strings.
d-tuna
***** He said "how", not "what".
simple, it doesn't
How much??
where can i buy....How much price....This is great guitar... if i using N4 guitar sure i can get heavy sound without use the effect....
gud shit !
Put pictures of prairie dogs and fenec foxes on that
No Man He Woman ... wait... He man No ....just a second ....Man No Woman...i can do it...No He Man Woman Hater.
An epic epic song! esp the starting
Nuno is cool but this guitar is way over priced
If we're talking Washburns, go Ola or go home.
wow............................
No
That's not a "locking tremolo". Locking nut, you nut.
STFU. We all got it except you.....leave Paul alone. You would wish to have his job.....
Mismatched tuners is stupid.
Love the extended route for the D-Tuna. Great idea.
+Guitar Whores I don't know but i think that this device (d-tuna) in this particular guitar is a fake...because i understand that the D-tuna works if you block the pull action on the floyd rose and i don't saw any block sistem in that bridge did you?
GPR73 The extended route for the d-tuna is so you can still use it and pull up on the trem. It’s not fake.
@@gagemoore1307 u cant use a d-tuna on a floating bridge, once u drop the low string all your others are gonna go sharp
