Washburn unveils the N7 Vintage, an aged version of the Nuno Bettencourt signature seven string guitar.
Jumping on the popular bandwagon of aged and relic looks, Washburn created the N7 Vintage, an old looking but never the less new version of Nuno’s seven-string guitar.
It features the same style as the other N7, only this time Washburn has put a lot of time in getting all the details of this 25.5″ scale guitar right.
The core of the N7Vintage is a slim and beautifully aged alder body. It also retains the distinctive Stevens extended cutaway five-bolt neck joint, which is a great modification for reaching those high notes with ease.
The N7Vintage features a 22 fret ebony fingerboard with a maple neck, and it retained the reverse headstock look. The installed original Floyd Rose tremolo comes with the Buzz Feiten tuning system to ensure intonation.
To make sure that the Nuno Bettencourt tone is still there, Washburn installed a Seymour Duncan ’59 neck pickup and a Seymour Duncan Distortion pickup in the bridge position.
To complete the aged look, all the parts of the N7Vintage guitar is “aged” including the hardware.
The current list price of the Washburn N7 Vintage is at $3529.90
