Anyone interested in my 1986 Westone Spectrum ST? In great condition. there are few minor dinks. One one the front, one on the back and one on the headstock.

Can post or deliver in Lancashire area for fuel.

Uh oh.

Sorry guys, you're too cryptic for me. Anything you want to say in actual words about this?

Sorry Crumplezone.
I assumed Westbone's smilie face meant that he had contacted you in order to purchase it as he does rather often.

My reply was a tongue in cheek response to that, knowing that he would refurbish it, make it a great guitar, then sell it off because he doesn't like Spectrums that much.

No he's not contacted me.

Then I have no idea what's going on either.

Thought it was a very good idea to change that crap pickup at the bridge.

Had an ST with Dark Star pickups in both positions, 'king hot!

Nice guitar there... ...still have it?

Uh oh!

I reckon, you know, that one of these STs would be a great wee testbed for pickups, equipped with quick fit electrical connectors!!

And just to elaborate on that thought a bit, I have a Telecaster set in my ST and it really is mega - there is not too much it cannot do with the application of a bit of outboard tweaking. I had a set of Kent Armstrong P90s in it before that, and they also sounded pretty damn good and before that a set of midrange value humbuckers from an Matt-era, non-MMK Aria Pro II, which also sounded excellent!

Being maple construction, they may not take too well to the ultra high value modern style humbuckers but I do think they'd do pretty much everything else with aplomb!

... and your one still has the Switchmaster knobs!!

I only ever use the bridge pickup, so I only replaced that one.

Now sold sorry!
