1982 Westone (Matsumoku) Thunder I Electric Guitar
Overview: This jam-band-style, made-in-Japan rocker has a bolt-on neck, brass nut, twin coil-splittable humbuckers, plenty of brass hardware, and its own, stylish, Alembic-like character. It has a shorter 24 3/4" ("Gibson") scale length as well. It's full of conflicting design ideas but that's what makes it a good'n. It's on the heavy side but the appeal is pretty obvious.
Repairs included: I cleaned it up a bit and gave it a good setup. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.
