WashburnEA20S Nuno Bettencourt Festival Series
The Washburn EA20S-Nuno Bettencourt Signature is a stage-ready acoustic-electric guitar, designed in collaboration with world-renowned guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, known for his work with Extreme, GenAx, and Rihanna. The guitar features a thin-line Auditorium body with a Florentine cutaway for easy access to upper frets, a solid Sitka spruce top with scalloped bracing, and Pau Ferro back and sides. The satin-finished mahogany neck and Ovangkol fingerboard offer comfortable playability, with Nuno's “mourning widow” inlays at the 12th fret. It also includes a Graphtech Nubone nut and saddle for enhanced tone and sustain, and chrome die-cast tuners for precise tuning.
The EA20S is equipped with a Fishman Presys II 301T Tuner/Preamp/Pickup for natural amplified tone and features a feedback-reducing thin body, making it perfect for both stage and studio use.
