Another N4 fan here! I have a 1991 'Davies' N4 that I adore!

And yeah, I'm a N4/Stephen's Extended Cutaway nut... I have several other guitars with the SEC:
-1996 Stephen's Model S (strat style guitar with SEC, built by Stephen Davies, inventor of the SEC)
-1996 Stephen's Model T (like above, but Tele)
-1988 Washburn EC36 (36 fret shredders dream)
-1988 Washburn EC29 (like above, but 29 frets)
-1994 Washburn DC60-E Lexington (acoustic guitar with the SEC and a 24 fret neck)

Here are a few pics (sorry no pics currently available of the EC36)...







 
I've had two N4's, and sadly I won't ever again. I miss them dearly, but when I went to replace them, I noticed how absurd Washburn's pricing has gotten. They're just pricing themselves out of the market. The Warmoth I built instead is every bit as well built and great sounding, but several hundred less. I just really miss the Stephen's Cutaway.

To me, the NX6 is the absolute perfect guitar.

A N4 is definitely on my 'own someday' list, but they're so tiny. I'm 6'2" and I think it'd look like a violin when I'm wearing it. Still, they are killer guitars, and I'd love to have one someday, but they're going to have to come down a little in the used market before I'm willing to pull the trigger.

I am 6'4" and never had a problem with it.

I don't think I'd have a problem playing it - I just think it'd look strange. It's scaled down for Nuno's stature. . .which is tiny.
 
All I know is there are a few korina N4s on ebay that I bet sound smokin!
