OK, I have TWO
Washburn USA Custom Shop made guitars.
First: a 1993
MG-104. These are great superstrat guitars.
Features:
Alder body with Quilt top.
Fully loaded Seymour Duncan pickups: Custom Custom bridge (TB-11), SSL-5 (Reverse wound) middle and 59 neck.
German made Schaller tuners and Floyd
Guitar is in fantastic shape, especially considering its age. Only one small chip to speak of and it is on the back (close up in pics). A few other small dings here and there, but nothing through the clear. Minimal swirling on the back. All plates and screws present, and the frets are in great shape. $525 shipped to the lower 48.

Next is a Washburn CT-4 prototype. Les Paulish body style that Nuno was playing around his solo album time. Anyway, I used to work at Washburn when these models were coming out, and this one has some key differences form a standard one. I would guess it was developed for a tradeshow (NAMM probably).
It was made in the Custom Shop and features a chambered set neck body with an Ebony board.
This one has a rare Spalted Maple top that I honestly have never seen before (most CT4s had a plain maple top). Thick too- see pics.
Two Seymour Duncan humbuckers- This one has the JB bridge and Alnico II neck (different from the standard CT4).
It has triangle inlays as opposed to the "teardrop" featured later.
Most CT's had mahogany body, and this may also, but it is a very light color, so it may be Korina (we used Korina for a select few models when I was there).
Also features Schaller hardware: locking tuners, fine tuning tailpiece and roller bridge.
Abolone headstock and fretboard inlays.
Binding on body, headstock and fretboard.
This guitar has an amazing resonance, mainly because of the chambered body. This one is in VERY clean shape, with the minimal wear on the body. $600 shipped in the lower 48.

And if you want both we can definitely work something cheaper out. Thanks!
