Electra by Westone XV3GR
Summary: This Japanese made Electra by Westone XV3GR is a real player. The mix of pickup configuration and push/pull pots on all three knobs give you a ton of options in how you want the guitar to sound. You can go from single coil spank to crunchy humbucking riffs. It has some wear and tear that can be associated with an instrument that is near 30 years old. Overall, this is a mean, versatile guitar that was built for rock ‘n’ roll.
