Westone Thunder 1A (UK Ebay)

I was thinking of putting a realistic bid on this one. But, look at the very last photo. It looks like the wood has been worn away and been replaced by a "patch". In the second to last photo there's a bit of a "ring" around the "corner", but the wood grain continues through the ring. In the last photo, the grain doesn't seem to match. What, if anything, is up?

These thunders were made with ash pieces stuck together and cut to shape
I'm thinking those patches are simply a small section of the next piece of wood.
Look at this close up of my Thunder bass.... it has a very similar thing going on but inside a curve

I agree with m'learned friend. It's just a consequence of the way the wood has been jointed to make the body blank. ![Westone Thunder 1A (UK Ebay) Icon_smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

Thanks all. Except that today it looks like my guitar buying budget is going down by the price of a second hand microcube. I'm trying to keep it positive after it going into "the red" a bit recently. But, I still want a Thunder 1A (or similar) eventually.

I really like the 1986 black Thunder 1A, Seems a few changes were made to these later Thunders.. looks like the pickup selector has moved and a couple of the switches have probably been replaced with push pull pots which I do prefer to having switches all over. a great guitar! if only my funds were better I'd defo go for this one.

Even if I hadn't bought the microcube, I wouldn't have bid more than say, £150 for this. I bet the seller is pleased with that.
