Nuno Bettencourt's NEW Guitar | Washburn Nele Review

[@rayerscarpensael2300]

Finally a guitar tester who knows how to play. That was flawless all those positions ouch. Awesome tone control.

[@joshwmusic6838]

Yes! This thing looks absolutely incredible. I LOVE Nuno. He's in my top 3 players of all time, alongside EVH and George Lynch. Please can we get more Nuno! Would love another Steal These Licks episode. Maybe some of that hammer-on palm muted goodness! Thanks Cam as always

[@timjoycejr4765]

Fantastic guitar playing

[@mrnomad55]

Brother your playing is so smooth... You have be come so well rounded in your expression on the guitar. Bravo!

[@EamonBJWyse]

Great playing, as ever. Congratulations on the Charvel demo as well. Love that you're doing that now.

[@acbenitez3614]

What a nice guitar, you really bring out it's potential.

[@Heavenreck]

Great Demo loved The Brothers Osborne Shoot me Straight riff you threw in.

[@CameronCooper]

I love that band

[@RickyG72]

Superb playing, Cameron.

[@chris_2714]

Definitely has that tele twang. Nice demo 🤘

[@6thmichcav262]

Terrific playing as usual!

[@quentincroisez8061]

Damned , I love that guitar !!!!!!!!! superb natural finition and super great tones

[@davidwoods358]

An outstanding demonstration of an outstanding instrument. Yea, I want one.

[@jimmypennell8831]

Man. That's a cool guitar 😮. All kinds of tones😊

[@danfitzpatrick4112]

Yeah swamp ash is a really light wood. Awesome! I like it. I would opt for the Deluxe 😉

[@DimKAt21]

Suprised that Washburn still exists 😮

[@LiveLaughJordan-oi6tg]

Incredible playing and a great review, Cam! Where can I check out the electric version of Midnight Express you mentioned? I can’t find that anywhere

[@jodyferguson3068]

Cameron Cooper that guitar is just sick and so is your playing bro 6 way toggle switch holy balls

[@boovleeds137]

Great Vid Cam. Question : does the reversed headstock not make the top strings ( the ones you are more likely to want to bend) tight, and the lower strings loose?

[@CameronCooper]

I didn't notice anything, it felt fine

[@MKRISING75]

I really like tones on this guitar and always loved non painted guitars very cool indeed.🤟🏻

[@truthteller1951]

FINALLY! I’m not the only one with a 6 way switch. I read Jimmy Page used one and haven’t looked back in 12 years.

[@TheDdkk1]

Awesome demo as usual Cam. Very cool specs. Though I have to say I never got the appeal of a reverse headstock. Kind of diminishes the overall look of a guitar in my opinion. But to each his own...

[@REDW1NG94]

I always saw it as form follows function. A reverse headstock is a lot more ergonomic. Your hand is already in the position to retune while playing.

[@steveweilhart2359]

dig the headstock - nice demo

[@lorenzomartone1476]

I live in Italy, in a big city like Milan, and for at least 20 years (I'm 53) I haven't seen a single music store (in Milan or anywhere else in Italy) that sells Washburn guitars. What's even worse is that I can't find any resellers in the rest of Europe that sell them either. Every time I've asked guitar stores why they don't sell Washburn anymore, they've always told me that the quality of their products was so bad (except for a few very expensive American models) that they decided to stop buying anything from them. Since I'm already writing, I wanted to mention something about those videos you made a while back where you were so excited about the Yamaha THR10 and THR10II amps. I bought a THR10II myself because I was really impressed by how close you got to the Van Halen sound in your video. I tried everything you suggested to get that same tone (using the same settings you suggested), but I couldn't quite make it happen. I even swapped out the pickup on my Ibanez for a high-output DiMarzio X2N, and I still couldn't get that level of gain. I tried with a Gibson Les Paul too, but no luck. I think there are several possible explanations for this: 1) you were using an overdrive pedal before the amp 2) you were playing at a very high volume, absolutely incompatible with a home environment 3) you recorded the audio not by micing the amp but by using the headphone output and plugging it into a sound card where you processed it

[@CameronCooper]

All of those points you mentioned I don't do. I don't own overdrive pedal for a start. I can't play at high volume same way most people can't. And I don't own a sound card either. No point since the Yamaha is it's own interface. I plugged the Yamaha THR30II into my computer using the exact same settings I shared on my KZbin channel. I don't do any further processing afterwards either. I just synchronise the audio with the video clips.

[@mikerotch5880]

Mad skills! I hope you make the transition from student to artist while you're still young, I want to hear your album.

[@CameronCooper]

I already released original material

[@CrystallineAudio]

what amp are you using? criminal chops, keep it up

[@SteveWea]

Was für eine geile Gitarre!! Man hört die Single coils und den harten Hals

[@EggRollinInMy64]

The Brothers Osborne riff you threw in there at 6:07 was unexpected but soooo good 🔥

[@CameronCooper]

Glad someone noticed! I LOVE that band!!

[@The4thDensity]

Hi Cameron. Just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying your video's and the your level of play Manship on various pieces of wood, breathtaking actually such a joy to watch Do you have any plans to show us a few riffs by one of my favourite guitar players...Dan Huff?

[@CameronCooper]

Thank you! I've never learned anything of his or really listened to him so I don't have any plans too at the moment

[@Knome-Ansland]

Just beautiful. ❤

[@eugenechek7288]

Amazing playing, tasty sound👍👏💯

[@radio5051]

You need to buy that guitar. I've been watching your channel since you had spots on your face and this is the most versatile sounding video you've produced. Your videos generally use one sound, off the THX I think. This guitar changed things. It could definitely widen your playing and style. Just my opinion. Great playing, as always.

[@CameronCooper]

Thanks!! I won't be buying it though.

[@toddydoyle]

Un-bloody-real, I really appreciate!

[@MusicmanmarkUk]

It’s got a look of the Kotzen especially with the stacked humbler and a tele shape and twang pickup. I just got one of those and she it’s a beast. Still want an N4 though 😛

[@steviesynapse]

Great playing and Demo Cameron. Love Nuno, like the pickup switching options but for me the guitar is dull and looks like a rmiddle school woodwork project😮. Having to remove the neck to adjust the truss rod on a ‘non-vintage’ style guitar retailing over £2000 is not what I would expect.

[@demokraatti]

There is a truss rod adjustment routing in the body. You don’t need to remove the neck.

[@steviesynapse]

⁠Thanks, how is the truss rod accessed? From the video reviews there doesn’t look to be enough space to access it above the neck pickup.

[@demokraatti]

@@steviesynapse A properly shaped hex key wil do the job.

[@mars6433]

Love your playing. Love Nuno. Really really hate that guitar.

[@valjatriogina228]

Jump! Open the window! Its easy!

[@blythea.wolfgang2702]

I don't think I've seen Nuno play the nele yet

[@foggyblues13]

Cool guitar. Killer playing!

[@MF-Alien]

I wish I could choose to have that neck with the maple fretboard on an N4 along with only the bridge pickup and then I would stripe it to look close to Nuno’s bumble bee guitar!

[@REDW1NG94]

It's really a shame how few guitars have the Stephens cutaway. It's an absolutely incredible innovation

[@mhoff7722]

Always loved the Nuno guitars but the bodies are a little too small for me.

[@kellybrincks]

The first time I saw the Nele I needed❤

[@Darin-x2n]

Hoping they will make a affordable 1 also 🙏

[@snowdevil7727]

I wonder how it compares to Richie Kotzen‘s Fender Japan signature Tele? Probably closer to the Nuno deluxe version because of the maple top.

[@nikkmorse]

Your too talented Cam, throw some my way 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@martinclayton7260]

I wish I could get an N4! I've wanted one since I first saw them, and they've always been hard to find, and out of my price range?

[@campervanhelsing]

Thats awesome

[@gstmusic69]

Ive had 2 Nele Deluxe's. Ended up selling them both. Awesome guitar but, after a bit they just hung on the wall. My 4N is the go to Nuno.

[@ytube777]

cool toggle switch. volume knob might be a bit too far away for my use. the "stephens cutaway" badging is horrid, but i suppose could be just chiseled away.

[@CameronCooper]

I wouldn't get a chisel on it at all unless you want to totally destroy the value of a guitar for the sake of something tiny.

[@matthewotremba9230]

Would love to see the Poker Chip Gibson would make for that switch Redundant poker chip

[@wernerhedgehog3627]

Is the toggle switch easy to accidentally knock on to the out of phase sounds if you’re flipping between pickups quickly?

[@CameronCooper]

Not really, just got to be careful.

[@whiskybravo4648]

Great riffs.

[@OfJaggedRisings]

Those tones!

[@StaceyDouglas]

Wanna try that so bad!

[@truescotsman4103]

Strange how the Telecaster became the new fad a few years ago.

[@dsvet]

I think Richie Kotzen inspired this and rubbed off on Nuno lol!

[@leeengland1748]

Whats the setup?!

[@binaryanticommunist1882]

I love natural guitars.

[@SteveWea]

Das die Tuner unten angebracht sind ist auch besser !!! ist bei Fender eigentlich eine Fehlkonstruktion LG Steve WEA München 👍👍😉

[@PascalM-ld9xn]

I like the playing more than the guitar 🎸

[@david_farmer]

Fantastic!! I love the look of the standard too!

[@loudguitarist]

WAY too much $$$$

[@JohnWiku]

You don't have to buy it 😂😂

[@matthewotremba9230]

A Super Tele

[@iainwhite3476]

Why arent you in Megadeth, your playing is incredible!!

[@Knome-Ansland]

@iainwhite3476 Nobody wants to work for Mustaine 🤣

[@diggerd6489]

Fender fever has a 2nd hand one for 2k 🎉

[@patrickkem689]

Only Wish the toggle could be in upper location of body!

[@diggerd6489]

Nice guitar but never seen him play it

[@ssblu2112]

7:14 where is this nasty riff from? Nice!

[@CameronCooper]

It's a modified version of Bad Wolves - Back In The Days

[@totallykoolyeah]

My arsenal too broke for this one

[@marcorogani3977]

6:33 man played the rise lick

[@joshnorman2918]

That’s a lot of bread for a guitar you can build in your garage.

[@zThisPlay]

the grain match on that 2 piece top is kinda DansGame

[@whatarefriends4]

Cameron Cooper is one of the best guitar players there is as is Nuno but guitar is rather hideous in my opinion

[@Timanator]

Washburn is still around?

[@CameronCooper]

They certainly are

[@RandomVelocity]

Price?

[@negative2974]

Oh for sucks sake man....lol Jesus you are just amazing

[@igorcarvalhopadilhaandrade5886]

😉😉😉😉😉 ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@allenlocke1935]

While I'd love to have one, thing that doesn't get mentioned is what a pain it is to adjust the truss rod. Just like on my vintage N4, you have to take the neck off. Why!? Oh Why!?

[@jeffreyrivers1983]

What? A case? No way! You sure its not a gig bag but a case... dam i love gigbags

[@CameronCooper]

It's a case 0:03

[@jeffreyrivers1983]

@CameronCooper thanks for responding but I was jesting around... I hate gigbags.

[@TMoody]

It would be better if it had a tremolo on it.

[@williammackay9201]

I love reading comments by wound up overly opinionated nobodys. As the wise man said,"If ya don't like what you see here get the funk out". And leave a nasty comment on the way ha ha ha.

[@SixStringRacer]

Sounds great with you playing it but for me its so boring looking.

[@nikkmorse]

Simplicity is the killer...

[@kristanbenson803]

Can’t stand tilt back headstocks..

[@toddashley407]

This is what happens when you hang with Ritchie Kotzen too much.... You realize that the Tele format is the best elcetric guitar ever made ... lol

[@snowdevil7727]

Just give me a late 80s ESP superstrat like a Mirage Deluxe.

[@briangrovesteen800]

Agree. Waaaaay too much for what you're getting.

[@gerinsindanight]

No clean channel? ok.

[@CameronCooper]

I got rid of the clean channel footage when editing. Found it boring and thought the slightly boosted clean showed the tonal options off better

[@gerinsindanight]

@@CameronCooper I understand, and your playing shines with the tone settings way you played, still shiny cleans are cool to see if it could funk or even jazz in a cool way. But I get it, it's nuno sound, distorted and overdriven is are they words here.

[@jsguitarking3367]

Looks like the crappy guitar that I made in the '80s in high school. I mean seriously. The neck is awesome but the body looks homemade.

[@tradbowseven]

$2k+???!!! The instrument industry continues to be a racket.

[@GuitarGodsUnite]

Put a Floyd and a humbucker and 24 frets and all over it. As is nah

[@MichaelDouglasSkewes]

I can't wait for this ugly Tele Faze to pass! It's the ugliest most Boring body shape ever made! The reverse headstock is cool, but hey, whatever! The 6-way Toggle I have to get for a real guitar! As usual, you sound great! If you would look great with LONG hair bring back guitar heroes! Not bedroom jockeys! You are a great player, I want you to know that!

[@CameronCooper]

Sorry mate, I'm not growing my hair out again, been there done it. It was exhausting looking like a woman.

[@MichaelDouglasSkewes]

@@CameronCooper HaHaHa! Sorry, I'm stuck in the 80s still! I guess I think long hair looks cool still! The banker look is hard to get used to! Plus I had the longest and maybe the Highest hair on the Sunset Strip! Also, my guitar teacher was Randy Rhoads and I basically followed what he did! Anyway, like I said, you are a great player, do you plan on releasing anything and playing in a band? It would be cool, and believe me there is nothing like touring! I loved going on tour and all the crazy stuff and girls you tend to meet! It isn't good for a marriage, but otherwise.....! Well, keep up the great playing, you are a great very talented guitar player!

[@MichaelDouglasSkewes]

@@CameronCooper Here is where I am coming from! We played in London and Manchester, then onto the other countries! It's amazing how fast you can tour Europe! In 1 month we hit everywhere and came back to the East Coast and home to the West Coast and did 3 Nights sold out at the Reseda Country Club! I don't know if you even are interested in the 80s Hollywood Sunset Strip daze! Anyway, here is 1 of my band's Videos !-kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJevc6KigM96eLM

[@CameronCooper]

​@@MichaelDouglasSkewesReminds me a lot of Motley Crue and Wasp

[@sometimelater]

YUCK

[@Stemma3]

I don't know if it's your EQ but it sounds too thin, it sounds like somebody made a low cut on the 1k frequency. For a $2,500 guitar it sounds like shit, you do play really well... but the guitar it's a NO

[@CameronCooper]

Keep in mind you're listening to single coils from an ash body. It's naturally going to be a very bright sounding guitar..

[@bryanclarke1927]

Thin and too trebly...even for a tele. Great player though

[@ralphington8441]

Ugly, looks like a chopping board.

[@paulparker8298]

Sounds awful
