Re: mystery model MA Pantera - $699
Sorry, did i miss something? I don't see anything that identifies this as a Pantera model.
The body style looks more like a later Korean "super strat" and the only thing to suggest Pantera to me is that caramel finish. And a scarf joint?? Very un-Mats.
I'm thinking this is MIK.

Isn't it a Westone Villain, with curly maple finish?
Looks quite nice. Shame about the missing tip of the headstock though.

Back on.
Looks like Korean made with the scarf joint.
Decent woods.

It's a weird one. First surfaced about a year ago on Reverb.

Re: mystery model MA Pantera - $699
The case has tape on it that says "Westone Pantera Custom". Maybe that's a guess or described as such in original sale.
Two questions (team):
- Isn't it missing the fine tuners on the Bendmaster? I just see holes. (The string locks missing, too).
- On the back of the headstock, does it look cracked on the low E? What about those other vertical lines on the back - same?

Re: mystery model MA Pantera - $699
Yes to both - well, the locking plates and bolts from the stringlock are gone -, and while I'm sure that's a Westone neck, I think the body may be a custom build.
Possibly someone got a hold of a wrecked Pantera with a munted body and did this; who knows but it sure ain't a product of Matsumoku from the mid 80s!!
I kinda like it, though...
