Newbie Hello

My First post...New to the Westone family. Played a friends X350MA and fell in love. Wasn't familiar with Westies before. Shortly afterward picked up my first, a blue Spectrum MX. Arrived 9/18 and ever since.... Really enjoy the forum and looking forward to sharing my new obsession with people who already knew the "secret" :!:

Hey, welcome Sodbuster..it's a great forum and looking at some of the members collections on here is jawdropping..i'm just a noob myself and a very proud owner of a lovely thunder1a.

Succumbed to the dark side, have you.

Welcome here, enjoy!!

Um, maybe I'm the only one that really caught this... but your friend has an X350MA?! Are they on this forum too? If you believe Mr. Presley, those are extremely rare guitars.

being a noob this may be my bad, it is an X350, unless theres no difference, if so what would that be? And to answer The Chad yes he is a registered forum member. Same guy that was looking for Paduak I or II in wanted section. Regardless of the exact model, still is one beautiful git

Your first name wouldn't happen to be Kenny by chance, would it?

Give Iceman a cigar! Familiar with vintage wrestling as well as Westone's eh?

Welcome to the forums and the Westone world. Great guitars and a great group here in the forums. Welcome and congrats on the score.

Cool. And vintage wrestling is fun. BROTHER! Oh YEAH! Running wild on you!

Thanks to all for making a noob feel welcome:D Still have the question of that X350 looming... from what I could find out from the Westone info, there is no such thing as just an X350, only an X350MA, which if my poor memory hasn't let me down is exactly what Scott's guitar looked like. Will see if he can post a pic for Ya'll

My folks lived in the the same suburb of Minneapolis about a mile or so from him. Grew up watching him and Scrap Iron Kadaski back in the day.

So you are familiar with why he called himself the Sodbuster, right?

Honestly, no. A co-worker tagged me with Sodbuster as soon as he found out my name was Kenny J. He reminded me about the wrestler by that name, but I never knew why he called himself " The Sodbuster J" please enlighten me. After 25 yrs I will admit I really should know, kind of embarrassing....

He owned and ran a landscaping business as wrestling alone in the "sticks" of the AWA probably did not cover all the bills.

He was still plugging along in a couple of bush league circuits up here in Minnesota as recently as 5 years ago, IIRC... county road houses and VFW's in smaller towns.

His greatest win was when he tapped out our former governor Jesse "The Body" Ventura once upon a time.

Thanks for the info, Iceman!
