Washburn built the J3NK as part of its Jazz Series line, positioning it as a hollow-body electric suited to players working in jazz and related styles. The model carried a full hollow-body format with a maple body — top, back, and sides — and a hard maple neck.
The fretboard is rosewood, carrying 20 frets with block inlays and a 43 mm Graphtech Nubone nut. The scale length runs 24.75 inches. Dual Washburn humbuckers feed into a control layout of two volume and two tone controls, selected via a three-way toggle. The bridge is rosewood, hardware throughout is chrome, and tuning is handled by Grover Exclusive 18:1 ratio machines. The J3NK shipped in a Natural gloss finish with D'Addario EXL120 light-gauge strings and was supplied with a GC78 case.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the Graphtech Nubone nut, Grover tuners, or rosewood bridge saddles — should consult the specifications above and work with a qualified luthier or guitar technician to confirm fit before installation.
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.
