To celebrate Nuno Bettencourt’s cover feature on the latest issue of Guitar World, we’ve partnered with Washburn to give one reader the chance to win a Washburn N4-Nuno Vintage signature guitar.
The axe of choice for the Extreme virtuoso – whose fretboard antics have lit the music world on fire over the past few months – the US-made Washburn is valued at $2,599, and can be won by entering the giveaway hosted on the Washburn’s website.
With a premium, Nuno-approved spec sheet, the guitar is the epitome of speed and tonal versatility, combining an alder body and birdseye maple neck via a 5-bolt Stephen’s Extended Cutaway for ultimate accessibility.
Other specs include a Seymour Duncan 59 neck and Bill Lawrence bridge pickup – paired with a sole volume control – as well as a Floyd Rose 1000 Series Original bridge for that none-more-Nuno whammy action.

Bettencourt and his Washburn have set the guitar world on the edge of its seat in recent months, having announced Extreme’s long-awaited return with Rise – the lead single from upcoming album, Six, which features one of 2023’s most talked about and electrifying guitar solos.
The making of Six – as well as all the juicy guitar acrobatics it contains – will be the topic of conversation for Bettencourt’s cover feature in the new issue of Guitar World, which is on sale today over on Magazines Direct.
It’s been a while since Bettencourt last graced the cover of Guitar World, with this issue featuring a deep dive into the guitarist’s Rihanna stint, insight from numerous guitar heroes on Bettencourt’s brilliance and a full transcript of the Rise guitar solo.
The giveaway for the Washburn N4-Nuno Vintage can be entered now, and will run until July 10. One winner will then be chosen on July 20.
Since 1980, Guitar World has been the ultimate resource for guitarists. Whether you want to learn the techniques employed by your guitar heroes, read about their latest projects or simply need to know which guitar is the right one to buy, Guitar World is the place to look.
