Best known for his ground breaking work in Extreme, GenAx, and
touring with Rihanna, Nuno Bettencourt is truly a guitar hero,
inspiring millions of guitarists around the world. While primarily
know for his electric work on his Washburn N4 Signature guitar,
Nuno and Extreme came to prominence with the acoustic hit, “More
Than Words”, which featured the guitarist playing a Washburn
Festival Series acoustic/electric guitar. Nuno has continued to
feature Washburn Festival Series guitars in his acoustically driven
songs to this day.
One of the best features of the EA20S-Nuno Bettencourt is its
feedback reducing thin body and the inclusion of the Fishman Presys
II 301T Tuner/Preamp/Pickup combo for superb natural sounding
amplified tone. Fishman is known as the industry standard for
acoustic amplified tone and Nuno would settle for no less.
