Did you ever figure out where they actually get their picks from?

This is actually NOT the Washburn N4 that Nuno has been using on most Extreme albums (including P***ograffiti), which is the one that you can see him using up until sometime after Saudades de Rock album (there is also a video of Nuno having a photoshoot with his main). The story is that Nuno has struggled to find the right replacement to his main N4 guitar, which after decades of touring and Nuno's passionate playstyle has withered quite visibly - nevertheless he continued to use it as he couldn't find the next best in slot that played exactly the same (including exact same models). The situation changed when he purchased another early Davies N4 from a fan - that guitar became the 4N (named to diffrentiate it from N4), which you can see in the video and which has finally sent his main to retirement. The 4N has a nice origin story - it is an early Stephen Davies era Washburn N4 and was purchased by another kid, Joe King, in the early 90s, who then made several modifications to it (including sanding the neck). It also has peculiar hardware, like Kahler trem and nut, which were used at Washburn along with Floyd - likely whatever was avalaible at the shop at the time. The guitar was sold after 14 years and later finally made it's way to Nuno - the whole story is documented in a KZread video: "The Untold History of Nuno Bettencourt's Washburn 4N (1991 to 2005)".

Hey! I used to teach in a music chain in Philadelphia, well... Just outside!... In the early to mid-90s, and I played the original nunos that came out for sale, and they were absolutely spectacular, especially the trem; It stayed in tune perfectly and played, sounded, and felt so absolutely amazing!!!

Epic and sounds sssweet!

That is crazy. To put that much into a piece of wood

If the Floyd is still in a floating setting, I'm very impressed about the ability to stay in tune with the D-Tuna on/off. On every guitars I own, because of the strings tension changing, I must have the Floyd Rose sets flush only (or using a Tremo-no) to keep the guitar in tune when using the D-Tuna.

This is KDH's type of guitar.

Not good when your roadie doesnt know the guitars he works on ,in the neck its a 59 duncan

nunu's a prick but great guitars

First
