cleaning...

[sackett19]

So, I have had my westone for 10 years now, but I have just found this forum... better late than never!

Anyways, I appreciate the advice for cleaning the bridge! I will be doing that soon. Also, my pickups are corroded as well. Does anyone have any advice to bring them back to health?

Hello Sacketts and Welcome!

I'm glad that you have found the advice for cleaning your bridge to be useful. As for the pickups, try gently scraping away the excess rust from the pole pieces with a small flat screwdriver. Another tip for cleaning the pole pieces up, carefully wrap a small piece of sandpaper tightly over the end of a cotton bud and rub this gently over them to remove any excess dirt and rust. Wipe the whole thing over with a clean, slightly damp cloth.

I hope this helps and please put some photos up in the Members Westones forum when you've done!

This one seems available : http://instrument-musique.vivastreet.fr/vente-instruments-musique+la-roche-sur-yon-85000/westone-thunder-i-a/9458372

Since the dollar is climbing , 250 euros is not too much imho

The guitar is 80km near my home, so it should be easy to check it is you like

Hi All,

If anyone is interested, a local Music Shop has a Thunder II for sale. Apart 30 years of odd scrapes, the only thing that is missing is the back plates ( Can be bought from Westone Spare ). Although two of the knobs are brass as they should be, one is a plastic Strat clone.

The colour is pearlised white, an extremely light yellow with the fixed neck. All yours, apparently, for £200.

Happy Hunting, Steve
