The Westone Thunder I was manufactured by the respected Matsumoku factory in Japan and these models, along with the Thunder IA Lead Guitar, ( I also have a Thunder 1A lead guitar for auction -See my other items) were made to a very high standard and are now very sought after. Check out www.westone.info for a history of these fine guitars.
Beautiful Light Oak Woodgrain finish made from laminate Canadian ash,rock maple & walnut finished in a in matt. Contoured with deep cutaway for ease of playing and easy reach to the 20th Fret. Hard maple neck 34" scale ebonised Rosewood Fingerboard with 20 frets and finished off with a brass nut. A Magnet F-600B Split single pick-up providing a nice punchy sound. Brass Bridge and Pots with Chromed Westone branded Tuners.
I am the second owner of this this guitar since 1983. It is in Excellent Condition, having never been gigged or taken outside of my practice room. Very robust construction. Good straight neck. Bodywork in great condition for it's vintage ,even still has the protective covering on the back black plastic pot cover , collectors spec. Three small dings (but you have to inspect very closely to see them). No visible fret wear. Sounds and plays magnificently. I have only owned this for a few months but because of just aquiring a Gibson EB3L sadly this and the six string has to go.
