Heres a Hair Metal Masterpiece. A 80's Westone Elektra guitar. This guitar is one of the early production Matsamoku factory instruments that are known for their high quality .This guitar is rock solid and everything works as it should.Neck is Straight, Trussrod functions, Frets are in great shape, tuners work, and all electronics work 100%.
This guitar is a solidhard Maple body guitar that weighs in at a substantial 9.2lbs. H-S-H pickup configuration with push pulls for splitting the Humbuckers so you get zillions of tone possibilities.
These even have the original Magnaflux pickups which are sought after by some on Ebay( thnx fusion). The funky original trem has been replaced with a standard 6 point. The trem works and the guitar stays in tune. Action is low, but don't expect to do massive bends -its not radiused.
Cosmetic condition of the guitar is very good, with some few touched up nicks that youd expect from a nearly 30 year old classic. This will inspire you to find some spandex, make yourself up like a pretty boy and rock out in the great 80's tradition. Cool dark metallic green ( i call it "oldmobile green", since my first car was a Olds delta 88 this color exactly ) color.
No surprises with this. Just a great sounding and playing guitar, period.
165.00 shipped Fed ex in a gig bag and packed well.

Re: Vintage 80's Westone Guitar

These are surprisingly good and SOLID guitars. It is made in the Matsamoku plant in Japan like Jerry said, and the quality of those Japanese Westones were very very good. Heck I think these even have the Magnaflux pickups which are sought after by some on Ebay. I had one and sold it a while back and it was worth far more than the dollar amount I sold it for. Jerry is selling this one cheap, buy it ASAP before my gas gets the best of me.

What does "it's not radiused" mean? As in, flat fretboard, or the saddles are all set to the same height?
