Washburn N4 ESA Nuno Bettencourt Electric Guitar with Case

The Washburn N4 Nuno Bettencourt guitar has become a staple for many players because of its lighting fast neck and unhindered access to upper frets – this is an all-out rock machine.

The N4 really wails thanks to a Duncan '59 and a Lawrence L-500 in the bridge. In order to meet Feiten intonation specs, the N4 employs a Floyd Rose tremolo with a locking nut. The Stephen's Cutaway not only gives you unsurpassed access to upper frets but also offers great sustain. The N4 is an incredible guitar for any application; no wonder it has become a Washburn standard.

BUZZ FEITEN TUNING SYSTEM
The Buzz Feiten Tuning System is a tempered tuning formula, which uses a compensated nut and saddle to correct the inherent intonation problems of the Western tuning formula. The system that Buzz devised has been a godsend to guitarists. Fans of the system include Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Liona Boyd and Andy Summers. The Buzz Feiten Tuning System is standard on all USA made Washburn guitars and basses and is featured on select imported models. Washburn is the only major guitar manufacturer to incorporate the system as a standard feature on production guitars.

BUZZY'S TUNING HINTS:
There are three easy ways to tune your guitar equipped with the Buzz Feiten Tuning System.

TUNE IT BY EAR
If you think you've got a pretty good ear, go ahead and tune it to whatever system you've been using; it will sound sweeter than a regular guitar.

TUNE IT TO AN ELECTRONIC TUNER
We like the Korg DT7 (a very popular tuner), but any electronic tuner will do the trick.

FOR THE PRO OR SEMI-PRO
If you need absolute precision for recording and concert work, or want to adjust your own intonation, we recommend a user-pro grammable tuner, such as the Korg MT1200. Your dealer will be happy to provide you with a simple, one page programming guide.

Tune slowly and carefully. The results are well worth the few seconds of extra effort.

When you tune, try to center the needle for the attack not while the note is dying out. It's always better to be tuned a little flat than a little sharp.
