Three pickups (h-s-s), 'blade' selector switch next to one Volume & one Tone knob, floating (Strat-type) trem. Almost all (but BT-5 and of course BT-9 ) are known to have mahogany bodies (though whether ALL actually DO is open to argument).Įvery BT I've seen has had its serial number (I- prefix) applied in the form of a little strip of white paper (!!) on the back of the headstock.īT-4, 1997-2002 - a 'Super-Strat' with a shorter scale. Almost all (but the BT-3 and BT-9) don't have a pickguard (those are also the only two that have three knobs). All except the BT-9 had rosewood fretboard and black-painted headstock face. General commonalities: 22 frets, tapered asymmetric 3-3 headstock, asymmetric Bantam-type trussrod cover, offset dot inlays. They all have 22 frets, with 'offset' marker dots. This means that the strings will feel a little looser, bends will be a little easier. The Washburn BT 'Maverick' series guitars are all Gibson-scale (24.75'), as opposed to Fender-scale (25.5').
