Washburn built the N2NMK-U as part of its Nuno Bettencourt Signature Series, positioning the N2 as a production-line representation of the guitarist's working instrument preferences. The model carried a double-cut solid body construction and was finished in Natural Matte.
The guitar was built around a basswood body paired with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fretboard spanning 22 frets, with dot inlays marking the positions. Scale length was set at 25-1/2 inches. The nut was a 43 mm chrome locking unit, compatible with the Floyd Rose Special bridge and its associated locking system. Tuning machines were Grover Exclusive 18:1 ratio in chrome. The pickup complement consisted of a Washburn neck humbucker and a Bill Lawrence bridge humbucker, wired to a 3-way toggle selector and a single volume control with a push-pull coil tap. All hardware was finished in chrome. The guitar shipped strung with D'Addario EXL 120 light-gauge strings.
Owners requiring setup work, locking nut adjustments, Floyd Rose spring tension calibration, or replacement parts research should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with double-locking tremolo systems.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
