Found a Westone Concorde II...

Hey guys,

this baby came to me by magic. Does anyone of you happen to know more of the history of this model and what it's worth? It's in a bad shape but still plays ok.

I'd like to post two pictures in my dropbox but it doesn't work. Maybe if one of you shoots me an message I can provide him with the links so he/she can post it.

Thank you!

A Concord 2 in good condition is worth about £120 to £150. One in poor condition is worth between £30 and £80.

Or alternatively, its worth what someone is willing to pay.

Hoax

Hello Seph,
Concord II Info here

Here are the pics from Seph.

dibs.   

No, just wanna know what it's worth, if anything. No intendo for selling or trading, sorry.  But thanks!

Hehe no problem seph, are you gonna restore it or just play the bejeezus out of it?

I don't know yet. I just changed the strings to see how much live is still there. What I noticed is the screws on the top plate - never saw that before and didn't know what to do with it. First the high E-String had some noise with it, I then loosened the string and put it below the screw on the top plate and now it's fine. I don't know what would be the correct way to use these screws? They are obviously necessary...on the picture the strings are the old ones, I basically but the new ones like that. But I don't know if they went around the screw once or just below it. I just have them below.

You got it right, the strings sit in the groove undernea the the string tree/retainer.
the string tree is used to both stop the strings popping out of the nut by increasing the strings angle while adding pressure to the nut, and to help give all the strings the same angle from the nut to the tuners.

google it.

Do you mean these? If so the strings go below, there are little grooves that they rest in.

Damian give me that guitar!

Sold it, two years ago..Concord III is a much better guitar. Better pups.

Am I right in saying the only difference between the II and III is brass knobs, pups and maple board?

+ gold hardwear. One piece trem. All 2's are hardtail, apparently they also came with maple boards.

Ahh ok, cheers.
never seen a maple II old shape.
obvs my '84 II is trem and maple.

Nice, thank you guys. So my concorde is basically worth nothing?  Good2know.

Let's have a photo then Pete.

The two photos above are from me.

Seph, if you're in the UK its worth nothing....so I'll give you a token gesture if you ever want to sell.....if you're out of my reach it's worth much more    

Damian get yerself to specsavers mate.

Can't see fresh air.. 

Duh.....1st page mate....2 pics

your old man eyes finally starting to give up the ghost damian?

 

Your one you muppet

which one?  '82 or 84?

Both

'82  old pic, new model correct knobs added, also pig irons.


'84, again an old pic, new pot and fitted and ironstones installed.

I live in germany, so more or less out of your reach.

Damn!

I'd love a blue one to partner the red.......

Why is mine with a Humbucker? Seems rather rare? Didn't find a 2nd one on the internet with a humbucker. All singlecoil like above

well, the original bridge single coil is terrible, so someone has butchered  modded it with a HB

Are you sure? It doesn't look custom.

I'm 100% on that.

you're right though, it looks more custard than custom  

Here's a III's pups

Sold this glittery one on also.

Yep indeed a Concord II T Pete.

Like the red one... 

I just picked up this II for $300 US shipped, there is another on eBay for $700 US.

Excellent!  Looks very tidy indeed.

I hope so, I got the back pictures from him and they look great as well.
