Can't believe this place exists.

Wow. This place is like a dreamland for me. I love my Thunder 1 like a child. I'm beginning the collection. But I'm a lefty from Australia, so they are rare and expensive to ship. I dont care. I love them.
And there are other people like me. 
Yay!!!!!

Hello Mrbungle1 and welcome here!

Yes, we've been around for quite some time now and through the participation of many Westone forum members, past and present, we've been fortunate in amassing a large database of very useful information on Matsumoku's favourite child!  


Please be sure to visit (if you haven't already) our Website: the link is in the menu bar at the top of the page. You will find a wealth of info on your Thunder, the full Westone history and models as well as an interview with Tom Presley, chief design architect for Westone and St Louis Music.
There is also a link to new Facebook group available if interested in that.

I feel badly for left handed players, there is nowhere near the variety of options available to them, but I'm pleased that you found one of the best made guitars on the market (even if it is a heavy bugger). Don't give up your search, something will pop up when you least expect it!
