As I am soon to retire this will become a project for me...fix it up, clean it up and then play the bejeezus out of it!

Yes please, start a new thread under Members' Westones, this space is just for introductions really.

I'm sure the members here will help with any questions you have with your "project".

Hi.

New member - long time fan.

My Westone story - in short - It was 1994and our highschool band just godt permission to play for the whole school. Exited as my 18 year old self was, i skipped the next class and went straight to the local guitar store and bought a a guitar that i had starred at so many times.. A westone Dynasty in cremewhite with red pinstribing.. we rocked that school, loud and proud... a couple of years later i decided in my stupidious youth to sand down the finish and paint it black and purple.. poor job but i loved it nonetheless.. a few years later i sold it.. Many times i have thought about that guitar and wished that i never sold it.(or painted it :-) ). As fortune may have it, a Dynasty came up for sale on facebook marketplace - an hour from where i live in Denmark... stripped from paint in naked wooden finish.. could it be? i contacted the seller and told him my story.. i cried when he said that there was remains of purple paint in the cavities... a week ago i bought my old guitar back.. or whats left of it.. but that will get sorted.. hope to catch a lot of information from this forum.. thx

 

Hi Dennis and welcome! What a happy story!

The chances of reuniting with an old guitar are very slim, but we have heard a story or two over the years from members who have been lucky enough to have that happen.

She looks to be in decent condition too.

We love a good resto story here so please, when you're ready, start a new post in the Members' Westones forum and keep us in the loop as to how your project is going.

Awesome! I hope to reconnect with my first Westie someday. Can't wait to see the progress you make on it!
