Westone Thunder 1 Natural 1984 (Pre-Owned)

Description

This 1984 Westone Thunder 1 Version 3 in natural finish is a superb example of Matsumoku’s mid-’80s craftsmanship. Built in Japan with solid maple and a three-ply maple neck, it delivers a bright, punchy tone with excellent sustain. The dual Hammer I pickups, combined with coil-tap and phase switching, offer an impressive range of tones — from crisp single-coil snap to full-bodied humbucker warmth. Simple, reliable, and full of vintage character, it’s a versatile workhorse that’s ready to perform.
