Product Ref: 68574
The Washburn is equipped with two different sets of Seymour Duncan pickups, the SSL5-7 single coil pickup that's situated at the neck, and a TB6B humbucker situated at the bridge, with the ability to either use them individually or together. The SSL5-7 pickup provides a vintage tone that has ample amounts of sustain and full sounding harmonics, designed with a specially overwound single coil to deliver big, fat chords that can cut through the mix with clarity. The TB-6B is designed to yield high outputs with a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil winding to deliver tremendous power and raw distortion with an aggressive tone, making it excellent for drop tunings and playing styles that incorporate hitting hard, crunchy rhythms and searing lead tones.
The Buzz Feiten tuning system is a uniquely designed formula that uses a compensated nut and saddle to correct the inherent problems commonly found in the western tuning formula. By incorporating a specially designed shelf nut which is used to move these strings closer the first fret with absolute precision by taking into account the guitars scale length, fret width and string gauge in order to eliminate sharp notes at the first three frets. Then the bridge is adjusted using patented pitch offsets to create well balanced intonations across the entire fingerboard. This system is favored by musicians such as Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Liona Boyd and Andy Summers.
