Good luck and kep us up to date with some pics!Īlthough I certainly wouldn't argue the sense in your comments (and indeed, I quite agree with many - especially from a financial viewpoint!), I would like to make the following points for consideration:
ELECTRA WESTONE GUITAR PRICE UPGRADE
Even used or low end stuff you can find on eBay would be an upgrade on a Westone. In any event, I wouldn't spend much on the parts. My best advice is to decide what your intentions are first: polish or practice. the one I'm currently learning refinishing on is plywood. Something to look out for on these cheap guitars is the cheap materials they used.
The ax clearly isn't a high end model, so if you screw it up, there's no big loss there either. You won't have a major financial investment, so that won't be a great loss. In fact, I'm currently doing this exact thing with my current project. If, however, you're looking to get your feet wet with refinishing & rebuilding, or to practice your technique, this would be a great place to start. I always thought Westones were at least on par with Squire or low end Peavey & Ibanez guitars. The basic quality is enough to turn it into a decent instrument. That being said, I have a Westone bass, and it's a fine instrument. The basic materials you have to work with, the neck & body, aren't high end enough. If you're looking to turn a pawn shop special into an ax comparable to a $10,000 custom, or even a high quality off the rack ax, it just isn't happening. The main consideration is what you want to get out of it.
