Thanks, she's a beaut. I have an SL2H also (which I love). Believe it or not though, the neck is much, and I mean much thinner on the N4. It is seriously a shred neck.
That's very cool. I've wanted a Padauk N4 for years, though I've never had the chance to actually play one. I always wondered about the neck, as I am a big fan of thin necks. Now I want one even more.
Beautiful guitar! I have an alder N4 from 1992, right around when they first came out. Almost sold it off a few times due to my Jackson USA and Ibanez Jem infatuation, but every time I play it, it's like an old pair of jeans,,,fits well and comfortable. They are very nice playing guitars. And the slab of ebony they use for the fingerboard is one healthy, thick slab! It's crazy thick. No holding back on Washburn's part.....at least that's how it was on the old N4's. And that Bill Lawrence L500 is a sweet, harmonically rich pickup, perfectly paired with that Duncan 59 in the neck. I'm gonna get mine out right now......proof that I should keep it. It's got plenty of scars from years of gigging in the late nineties, but it still holds up well.
Nice axe. Is it true what they say about the Padauk running? Or staining clothes red from the oils in the wood? I've heard stories but never had the experience myself. As i've only come in contact with a few Padauk N4's and never got the opertunity to own one.
