Is this Westone a "Dana" model?
Do you suspect this guitar on Reverb is a Dana Sutcliffe model because it has the "Dana" style head?

Re: Is this Westone a "Dana" model?
to me, the body of the guitar on the Reverb listing looks more like a Steve Lynch Signature Corsair model. the Sign Of The Times catalog does not mention a humbucker version of that model. i can't read German so no idea if the Reverb listing mentions the DSR5 that would be on a Steve Lynch as mentioned in the catalog.
seems like this is one from the category of "specifications subject to change without notice"

But look at the headstock of that guitar on Reverb compared to this verified Steve lynch Signature:

Very different headstocks

Mystery solved!
Found this exact guitar from Reverb categorized as a "mystery guitar" similar to but not the Steve lynch signature:
http://www.westone.info/uk10.html
From that article:
---------------------------
"Thanks to Alister for the pictures of his guitar. It seems to be a close relative of the Steve Lynch signature Corsair but there are a few differences.
The body colour, contours, binding and Kahler Spyder trem are the same as on the signature Corsair, but the pickups are H/H instead of H/S/S with a single 3 way switch instead of separate switches for each pickup.
The headstock is different - this headstock style appeared only on the Dana models but this headstock is reversed. The available catalogues do not show any model with a reversed Dana style headstock."

I appreciate you saying so @Westbone. :p
Tom Presley is active in one of the Facebook Westone forums & he explained exactly what this guitar is.
Tom Presley said it was a transitional model when manufacturing moved from Matsumoku in Japan to Cory & Saehan in Korea. This explains why it uses a headstock similar to a "Dana" style while it's body resembled a Steve Lynch signature Corsair.
However, it's not a Steve Lynch signature.
Tom's summary: "This was a standard production guitar by Cort in Korea with assistance from Saint Louis Music & Toshi."
