NGW - shield your eyes!

Sarge

First off I want to thank @Chalky for his incredibly generous offer to collect and send this up to me, you are a scholar and a gentleman sir, thanks once again!











A very early 1983 Westone Raider II, disgusting colour scheme, hideous shape, bloody lovely!

Neil

Blimey!

How did that not poke through the box?
:-O

mrkb

Wow, that really is awful ;-) you must be proud! I assume it's not for home practice duties.

Sarge

Don't see why not! it's no case queen and pretty light, home and  jam sessions probably.

Words fail me

Wow - taken it to a whole new level. Congrats. My pink and green pgm looks tasteful in comparison

I remember those Raiders very well from the Westone catalogue. Eighties-tastic!

Jalapeno

Be careful or you'll have someone's eye out with that !

If you like it - that's all that matters ! All GAS is good !

Get the spandex pants out of the wardrobe Sarge and you're good to go!

pics?

@Sarge - No problem. You had the gumption to think 'who do I know on the Fretboard who lives near where this is being sold?' Hopefully other folks on here can do the same in future.

@randomhandclaps - The seller was a very nice chap. Even provided a small handmirror for me so I didn't have to look at the guitar directly!

I've given you a "Wow" it's up to you how you interpret it Congratulations dude.

Sarge

Thanks!  my interpretation is, you LOVE it!
