I'm selling off a bunch of guitars that I have multiple examples of, and aren't being played.
This Westone Spectrum SX has been professionally serviced and set up, and has been untouched in the original case since coming out of the shop.

All is functioning up to the highly regarded standards of the legendary Matsumoku factory, and there are no significant cosmetic issues (please see photos and ... more

OK - this was a long-term retirement project, (with a few other one-offs - such as a 12 string baritone tele, and a 30" baritone "Telenbacker " !) that finally found fruition a couple of years ago. Basically, It is the classic Westone Thunder bass, that has been significantly converted into an 8-string Thunder, HIGHLY optimised for 8 string. There have been a few other conversions over the years, and they ALL suffered dreadfully from neck dive (all that extra hardware on the headstock on a ... more
