I'm doing an assignment about rock of ages, hope you don't mind me putting this in it as an example of how people used red electric guitars in the 80s and how much they rocked!
I have the same kind of Westone but in blue. It's one of my very favourite, if not my favourite guitar. I'm thinking of installing an Evertune bridge to it. Swapped the bridge pickup for Duncan Distortion, and it sounds so nice for old school metal. Body is also nicely contoured and comfortable. Sustain is great thanks to full maple body. I think I payd about 150€ for it 7 years ago. What a bargain!
I bought a red westone electric guitar from London during my short trip to UK in summer 1987 at 24 year age. At that time, it cost me £250. I choose it because I could only afford it at that time otherwise I had desired to buy yamaha or ibanez. Later on I sold it after a year because it didn't come up to my expectations.

@@nuke8425 If you are talking about this guitar in particular, I have one. It's a good nice solid guitar that has like no fret buzzing. Feels solid. It is an odd ball though. It feels like no other guitar you have ever played before. I guess with where your strumming hand sits it's different. Very good at clean tones the entire guitar is maple......Hope this helps. Cons? Not good at metal IMO. Cool guitar though
@@nuke8425 I have a spectrum, very nice guitar but heavy. The neck is faultless with no buzz, sustain is good for a bolt on neck. Think of it as a chunky strat with a crisp biting tone. The neck pickup is particularly nice. They are worth way more than the price they usually sell for.
Noice! So '80s right there! Reminds me of me back then, I was 14 in '84. Nice playing man.

I’m looking at one at the moment. Would you mind explaining the pros and cons of this guitar?

You can put any guage string on a westone 🎸 guitar rail Road tracks if you like.
