This 1986 Westone became our first guitar of this brand. Because it is virtually undamaged, it seemed like a great example to gain experience with this brand. The beautiful white pearl appears to be little discolored and was therefore a bit yellowish in 1986. The metallic finish gives it a nice depth as well. Also striking is the black lacquered neck and the coil tap on the volume knob (in the absence of a tone knob). But most striking is its weight: the light color is somewhat misleading, but this is a beast of a guitar.
