#WESTONE GUITAR PICS SERIAL NUMBER#

But I guess someone has to have that number, right? I had to look closely to see if that was a photoshop, the numbers seem so unlikely.

#WESTONE GUITAR PICS SERIAL NUMBER#

I wouldn't be able to live with myself if someone else got an XA-1230 for only $101, and it wasn't me! Clinching the deal on its irresistability (to me) was that its serial number was 7012345.

But the bid with less than an hour to go was just $71, plus $30 shipping.

I probably shouldn't have bought it, after the other two I already had. As long as the neck isn't messed up, it should be a great guitar. Still, the first is something I want to learn (refinishing a guitar), and the 2nd is either electronics, woodworking, or both, and I know I can do those. It's a semi-project because the paint job has some serious scars, and the input jack needs to be repaired. No disassembled pickups, no unidentified body, no guitar synth module.just a straight Anniversary Edition Spectrum II XA 1230. Then again, as long as it has the Westone electronics (and it does have the Westone push-pull coil tap, so there's hope), it gives me a guitar I can tinker with to learn about fitting the neck well into the body, lowering action, working on frets.if it needs any of those things. I didn't realize it until after my bid was in, so this may be the guitar I eventually decide is a mistake. Oh, well, if it was done well, that's enough. It has a really beautiful body shape, but the more I researched, the more I realized it may just be a Westone neck and trem stuck on a generic body.

I could probably part it out for more than that, as it has the full Floyd Rose Bendmaster trem system, the guitar synth, etc. I couldn't see the paint condition very well, and I'm risking the neck/frets being in good condition.but at $130, I think it is worth the risk. It obviously needs to be wired up again, but I know I can do it after my experience with my JB Player.

Someone disassembled the pickups and added a Roland guitar synth. I've picked up 3 in eBay auctions lately, all for right about $100 + $30 shipping. Apparently they can sonically conquer some vintage Gibsons and Fenders, and modern Paul Reed Smiths. Most people talk emphasize:ġ) reliability - the guitars are solid and apparently last forever (which increases your chance of getting a decent one on eBay)ģ) sonic flexibility - the Westones all seem to always have coil taps, and often add in phase switching and unbalanced humbuckers, plus great output. Particularly check out the Spectrum, Pantera, and Corsair guitars. Check out as much as you can in the link above, but the real convincing testimonies are here.

You can buy them for anywhere between $400-800 used on eBay, but that's still steep.īut reading about Westone (and its predecessor, Electra, as well as its successor, Alvarez), I really started to fall in love with what I read. If you want a beautiful new guitar that sounds wonderful, you cannot get one cheaper than a Carvin.and the Carvin lets you customize any guitar to your desires.īut it isn't every day that you can spend $1200 on a guitar. I think I may now love Westone guitars more than Carvin guitars. I mentioned that my next hobby would be fixing up guitars.that goal has morphed somewhat, but only slightly it may be more accurate to say that goal has focused.
