i've had one for years. luv it. good solid guitar decent if ordinary humbuckers. well made and a pleasure to play. The ST is a basic guitar at the budget end of the spectrum range, but i also have an FX which is the top of the range. it is a lovely one piece neck/body, excellent pickups (2 hums, i single)etc... however, also a pleasure to paly but for some reason i always pick up the ST, (perhaps 'cause it was my first guitar). in fact the FX is for sale as it almost never gets played despite being a top guitar - anyway i hope this helps

: : I just bought a well looked after westone clipper for 90 pounds, complete with floyd trem, and in my opinion it outperforms guitars I've played costing more than 1000 pounds new. As I've only owned it for a day I can't comment on the reliability but as far as first impressions go westones are incredible value and packed with features.

I've owned a Thunder 1a for about 17 years and I recently found a Spectrum SX in the local guitar shop for £100 and I don't think I've ever had such a good deal. Just because these guitars haven't got a famous sticker on the headstock don't mean they are crap.
Cheers Bridgey.

The westone spectrum sx was one of the finest guitars I ever had the pleasure of owning/playing. 22 fret, hum single single p/u's, push/pull volume control for splitting the hummer, and a tunable bridge w/ locking nut. Paid about $400.00 new in '85. Was stolen in late '86 from a "good friend" who held it for me while I was out of town (he moved and left no forwarding address). It still makes me sad to this day as I learned so much in such a short time on that one! Would like to have it back but oh well, if anyone sees a black one with the initials LH and 1662 scratched into it, give me a yell, I'll gladly pay for it. L8s

I just bought a beat to shit Spectrum DX and it actually is a good guitar... I was quite suprised for $125 I just had to clean some rust off of it. the pickups seem to sound crips and clear and the bridge and tuning locks are easy to work with.

Westone W12EQ BLS

can someone please tell me how good the Westone W12EQ BLS electro-acoustic is

I dunno about the electro-acoustic, but I just happened upon a Westone Rainbow 1 (335 style) and I now wish to get everything by Westone. Fucking great guitar, sexy, too.

I am looking for a spectrumfx. I had one several years ago. It features 3 pickups, two humbuckers that are coil tapped, a middle single coil, and through the body neck. The one I had was red with a black center section.
