This rare and gorgeous Westone Prestige 150 from 1982 is a joy to play. I've used this highly versatile guitar in just about every popular genre of music over the years and it's always served beautifully. It looks and feels like a good PRS. The guitar has all the marks, buckle rash and dings one typically finds in a guitar of this age, but the top is pretty clean and so it still looks great on stage. The hardware is slightly pitted but nothing too nasty. The neck is amongst the nicest you will probably ever play and the heel-less neck join makes high access a doddle. The pickups are powerful and precise, each with a notched tone pot which acts as a blending coil tap. Very cool.
The guitar is all-original except for a few bridge screws and a tone pot. In summary, if you want a collector's piece, this is not for you, but if you want a classy vintage Japanese guitar, it really is! Now the boring bit: UK bidders ONLY please. STRICTLY no offers. Many thanks.
