The Washburn N24-Nuno Bettencourt Vintage Padauk electric guitar lets you channel the iconic rock tones of Extreme's legendary lead guitarist. Designed in collaboration with Nuno Bettencourt, this signature model packs premium components into an elegant yet resilient padauk body. Equipped with a fast maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and dual humbucking pickups, the N24 roars with Nuno's expressive voice. Whether you're a serious guitarist looking to cop Nuno's style or an Extreme fan wanting to connect with your musical hero, the Washburn N24 belongs in your hands.

Padauk Construction Provides Resonant Tone

The N24's padauk body gives this ax a striking appearance and focused midrange punch. Padauk is a dense, durable African hardwood known for its musical qualities. Its warmth and resonance help the N24's humbuckers achieve rich harmonic overtones and singing sustain. A maple neck and rosewood fingerboard further enhance note definition and clarity. Together, these premium tonewoods make the N24 highly responsive, with the balanced acoustic properties needed for articulate lead playing.

Maple Neck Offers Fast, Low-Action Playability

Whether you're shredding through one of Nuno's solos or improvising your own lines, the N24's maple neck will keep up with your every move. Its slim profile and low action facilitate rapid position shifts and finger stretches. A 12" radius and jumbo frets also aid in quick, precise fingering. The fast feel of this neck, combined with its resonance, allows intricate passages to flow unhindered from your imagination to your amp.

Powerful Humbuckers Handle High-Gain Overdrive

The N24 packs a pair of aggressive humbucking pickups that thrive on overdrive and distortion. A Washburn pickup in the neck position provides tight lows and focused mids, perfect for chugging rhythm parts. The bridge pickup is a Duncan '59 that delivers snarling highs and harmonically rich leads. These pickups unleash the saturated tones that shaped Nuno's signature sound in Extreme. They handle high gain without losing note clarity or definition so you can achieve thick, sustaining distortion that still articulates every expressive nuance and bend.

The Washburn N24-Nuno Bettencourt Vintage Padauk electric guitar gives you a piece of rock history along with Nuno's versatile and technically advanced voice. If you want premium components, fast playability and tone tailored for high-gain soloing, the N24 delivers it all in one stunning signature model.
