Washburn N2PSK Nuno Bettencourt Signature Electric Guitar & Gig Bag
 
This is a new guitar.
 
This guitar appears to be a first run production model as it has some differences from the current model.  It has a different back plate covering the tremolo springs, Duncan Designed Washburn Pickup, no cutaway for the truss rod access at the heal of the neck.  General specs appear the same.
 
There is also an inclusion in the wood on the side, it is smooth.  A scratch on the back and some marks on the side of the neck.

Nuno Bettencourt, born in Portugal and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, grew up in a very musical family. In his teenage years he began playing drums, bass and keyboards, but ultimately settled on guitar as his primary instrument. Since then he has become one of the world's greatest guitarists, who draws from an eclectic variety of styles and influences and is a tremendously technical and adept player, with an acute sense of rhythm. Most famous for his role in Boston-area group Extreme, in which Bettencourt recorded five CDs and delivered the hits "More Than Words" and "Hole Hearted", he has also released a solo CD, formed the groups Mourning Widows and Population 1 (which eventually became DramaGods), and was featured in Satellite Party (formed by Perry Farrell). Although they had disbanded in 1995, in 2007, Extreme reunited and headlined Washburn's 125th Anniversary Party at Winter NAMM 2008. For 2009-2013 Nuno joined Grammy Award winning R&B artist Rihanna as music director and lead guitarist on her world tour, playing to hundreds of thousands of fans across Europe and the U.S.
