General

Hand-in-hand, Washburn and Nuno Bettencourt present the Custom Shop Nele Standard. A stunning showpiece, this model features some of the best tone woods out there, framing a hyper-versatile pup load-out. The solid swamp ash body comes loaded with a Bill Lawrence L-250 pickup at the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack single-coil at the neck, gifting this lightweight electric guitar with immediately warm and punchy tone, backed up by lashings of sustain. Every example of the Nuno Bettencourt Nele Standard has been built with love and care in the Washburn Custom Shop in America. Case included.

The Washburn Custom Shop Nuno Bettencourt Nele Standard: Broad Playability

The most unique tweak of this signature model is the Freeway Ultra pickup switch, which lays out six different pickup combos and supports a broad array of tonal profiles. Since the aesthetics are sometimes as essential as the sound, the Nele Standard comes finished with a birdseye maple neck and fretboard and gold-plated Gotoh and Grover hardware. In short, you're looking at an instrument that's been built for the true connoisseur.
