Notable Washburn Innovations (Promotional)
Over the years, Washburn designed (patented and trademarked) several prominent guitar construction features:
- Buzz Feiten Tuning System — a corrected temperation tuning formula, which uses a compensated nut and saddle to correct the inherent intonation problems of the Western tuning formula. This system comes standard on all USA made Washburn guitars and basses and is featured on select imported models.
- Stephen's Extended Cutaway — special modification of bolt-on neck joint.
- Voice Contour Control - a special coil structure that allows a blend between a humbucker mode and a single-coil mode on the same pickup.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or innovations:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“By such innovations are languages enriched, when the words are adopted by the multitude, and naturalized by custom.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
