Wow this is bad... Prestige 250

Not for the faint of heart.       


CLICK HERE!


Can't believe it.  In the man's defense, he had this thing hacked years ago when little was known of the Westone quality. 

Actually makes me angry to see.  I REALLY hope the seller has changed since his ignorant days of years past.   

Other than the 2 massive craters on the and the missing original bridge it looks quite good.  Might be the best chance of getting one over there in the colonies.
I can see the point of doing this to an anonymous cheap guitar but if I ever hear of anyone doing this today I WILL hunt them down and kill them - slowly - with a spoon.

Why a spoon, cousin?

To parphrase Alan Rickman in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves - because it will take longer.

That's it! 

Because it's dull, you twit, it will HURT MORE!

Thats the one I was trying to remember

Sitar?!
Bloody hell.

I would check out the flame but I cant seem to see past the massive holes some    drilled in it

Maybe it could be further improved by installing a single coil tele pick-up in the neck position. I think theres a guitar expert in the UK doing such modifications     especially on westones

I was reading up on 'guitar sitars' after seeing this & it did reckon that most use lipstick pickups, so you could be onto something there...

You lost me. How does putting a lipstick pickup in the neck position help with hiding those three body holes below the bridge??

Rest easy, Barry - it was a none-too-serious reference to the fabled guitar butcher of eBay & his penchant for sticking lipsticks in places they don't belong, but we definitely don't need to go down that road again...

  Yeah, someone needs to buy it and send it to him for "modification". 

Think of the wonders that could follow!!!         

And Barry, they're talking about a lipstick being a good fit for a sitar sound.  Nothing will truly save this poor Prestige. 

HOWEVER... you could install a piezo pickup under its bridge and use the lower section of stings as an electric harp.   

Best thing to do - stick a Bigsby on there & no-one would even notice the extra holes...

I might just buy that sitar bridge from him and do that mod to mine!   Aaaaaarrrggghhhhhhhh     

I wonder what his reserve is?

What's all the fuss? That's a fine looking guitar!







Bloody purists.........

Yep.  You get an electric guitar and an electric harp all in one.   

In fact, just stick with the harp - who needs a guitar...?!  

Ok, Prestige 250 for sale, Harp wanted (and a pair of those boots!)...  I've already decide who is going to teach me,,,

Love to be a Harp  strapped!....too those two......  

me in darkest Africa...

Ah, yes. Brain fart. Sorry.

Must be the friggin' cold here! Sumthin' like -23C with the wind chill at the moment.
Bloody Polar Vortex. Al Gore can bite me.

I'd say keep your stick well away from the ice...

It was down to 1 degree in the UK the other day - I stayed in...
