MARKO gives us an overview of the ultra-rare Washburn N8 and what it took to track one down.
Enjoy!
"It wasn't even a video I was gonna make but I realized it might be the only one on this beautiful guitar".

Man, that’s a real gem, definitely deserves to be played.

[@alfounex]

nice grab MARKO Congrats, You seem so happy!

[@matthewmp111]

I definitely wasn’t expecting this! Thanks for letting so many of us live our guitar hunting vicariously through you, Marko!

[@vincent1johnson]

Amazing find! I remember that advertisement in magazines but figured it was a one-off just for Nuno

[@alexngkayuen]

I knew a guy in Hong Kong would like to sell this. He actually bought this beast in USA 1995. I’ve played it. Really awesome!!! Btw. Congratulations!!

[@stevesmulski1462]

Great video Marko. I actually saw one of these in the flesh many moons ago (mid 90’s) in a pawn shop during a trip to Las Vegas - Think I must’ve been about 20 at the time. A part of me now wonders if that may actually have been Nuno’s original N8 which was sadly stolen from a show.

[@RenatoBriones]

Amazing!! Congratulations! I bought one in Miami in 1996. Didn´t know it was THAT rare! Guess my daughter will inherit a unique guitar.

[@russfairley1501]

So cool! I’ve always wanted to see how the wiring and fine tuners worked on an N8. Great video and thanks for showing so much detail!

[@sean4586]

WOW This was a blast thanks!!! Isn't the hunt so exciting. To actually find one in such pristine condition too! You have single handedly just made this guitar even more of a collector's item. This is a guitar that must be talked about. I hope this creates a massive buzz!

[@mrmetal1276]

What a really great story, the back story too of the guitar being shipped from UK to Singapore just to get signed by Nuno then back to uk for storage! Enjoy it it looks a beautiful piece of wood.

[@tsom1]

Really nice story Marko! Congrats on the find!

[@DANWRIGHTITIS]

Fantastic!! Well done Marko xx Cheers From Madrid

[@lthrwlf]

So glad your persistence paid off… you a lucky man

[@BeatN4]

OMG this story is freakin awesome! Congrats dude on this rare gem. I‘ve had the same Nuno poster with the N8 in my bedroom as a teen ;-). Maybe one day…one day I‘ll have one too! Thx for the video and sharing this great infos (wiring, etc) with us!

[@Ibaneddie76]

That is beyond badass! I'm going to build one of these since there's obviously no way to get one. I can use your awesome video as a reference, thanks for posting the video and congratulations!

[@nicholasthornton7000]

Very cool vid. Absolutely stunning guitar!

[@nurzyboyone8826]

Congratulations that is awesome!!! Beautiful guitar. I’m searching for a N4 Right now.

[@glasscitymorphs6982]

Congrats on a successful hunt! Just now trying to learn how to play with online videos. Can’t imagine trying to figure out that beauty. Looking forward to seeing you play it when you have it done the way you want it
