Message in a... westone.

Hi all,

guess what ive discovered... in the electronics cavity of my thunder 1 is a message written in pencil, it reads:

John parkers guitar purchased in oct 1982 played everyday soon be recognised by millions of my fans all over the world.

It is quite hard to make out one or two of the words but im quite positive ive got it right.

maybe this could have been your guitar...

bye for now

mark

Post a picture!

Here you go...






sorry theyre a bit big and as you can see it is quite hard to work out what is written, especially in the pictures.

Hello Mark,

Is that cool or what?

I wonder where John Parker is now and if he still owns any Westones?


JOHN PARKER: If you are out there, our little bairn Mark here has got your old guitar - but I'm betting he won't let you have it back!

Cool find there Mark, now do your homework please!

hi there i did the same thing to my thunder 1a bass in about 1983 my full name and address inside the control panel if any one finds it let me know my name is phil and im from ireland

hi...

• phil, ive just bought a thunder 1A bass, you never know it could be yours?
  
• Pauline, yes it is a cool find and your right i definitely won't let him have it back for anything under... £1000
  

mark.

its inside a cherry red one would be amazing if its found,i sold it locally in derry in ireland but it could have made its way to england,as the guy who bought it did a tour and is not sure what he done with it so could be anywhere,, would love to get it back so if anyone has it .....

oh... cherry red yeh? nice, but im afraid the bass ive bought isnt yours because its one of the natural finished ones. anyway i wish you the best in finding your bass.

Hi Phil,

Wouldn't it be great if somebody out there had your old guitar?

Ooh, I hope somebody has and sees your post... I just love happy endings!

Hey, good work there Sherlock!

Has anyone tried contacting this guy yet to see if it was his guitar?

Pauline :flower: :queen:

i didnt.. i figure whomever found it should get in touch with him.. i was just guessing that it was this guy.. if it is it seems easy enough to contact him.. i am sure he would be ok with not getting the guitar back.. he obviously lost it along the line.. hopefully not stolen.. ha.. he may be thrilled to find out where it has been and where you got it from, etc.. and i have no idea what i would be describing to him.. so i just did a little search work.. lol..

Wow, it's been a very long time since i was last on here, just thought i would log in to see what was going on and i see that someone (be it 3 years ago) may have found the person my guitar belongs to! I've still got the guitar so i'm going to contact the guy and see if it really was his!

Glad you found your way back, sticky. Had a long strange trip, did you?

I always have wondered what the upshot of this thread was. Perhaps we now will see!

Can't wait to see what the response is!

No strange trips for me, just too much work! But now i'm at university i seem to have a lot more spare time on my hands

Looks like i'll have to keep searching, apparently he never owned one, so there must be another John Parker who plays/played guitar out there somewhere! Haha

I betcha John Parker is the real name of some world famous guitarist right now. We'll find out who soon.

I'm John Parker and so's my wife.
