Well looky looky. Black Label Society’s Nick Catanese has left Washburn, who made his signature model, and has moved on to Paul Reed Smith. Here’s what PRS had to say about it.
PRS Guitars is proud to welcome Black Label Society Guitarist Nick "Evil Twin" Catanese as the newest member of the PRS artist family. Years ago Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society frontman Zakk Wylde dubbed Catanese "Evil Twin" in honor of his epic musical chops that kept the pace with Wylde’s intense live and studio performances. Nick has been with Zakk for the last 13 years and has not only toured the world over numerous times, but has contributed to two live DVD releases, nine studio releases and has hailed the stage for too many Ozzfests to count. Nick has also formed a band with Mike Stone from Queensrÿche (guitar and vocals) Josh Sattler (bass) of DoubleDrive and drummer Mike Froedge of Doubledrive. Their debut album will be released sometime by mid 2009 under the band name Speed X. PRS is thrilled to have Nick join the team and is looking forward to making guitars he can shred to his heart’s content.

who cares.
Did he leave, or did Washburn drop him?
Washburn probably dropped him. He's a Buffoon. I exchanged emails with him a few times. He thinks he can kick everyones ass and can't spell very well. He's pretty much a rude asshole. Thinks he's a bad ass but he's a wuss.
I worked at Washburn for a couple months before they layed off 90% of thier USA staff in Mundaline IL. They are a bunch of cheap assholes and wanted to do more in China to save $$ we were told. Dropping endorsers make no sense though. I will say this, after working there I would never EVER buy a USA made Washburnor PARKER (they ghostbuild Parker because US Mucis Corp. owns both).Why you ask? BONDO they fill in any chipp or flaws in the guitar bodys and necks with bondo if they are getting a color paintjob and you cant see the wood. Thats lame.You would think fo rthe money a "hand built guitar" would be all wood.
