Westone Concord II electric guitar. {{ for courier options, see further below }}
Made in Japan. Made in the esteemed Matsumoku factory. 'Westone' was the factory's own in-house brand.
Made in circa 1981/1982. so over 40 years old. Vintage.
This is the original design iteration or version of this particular guitar model, the Concord II, which was introduced in 1981.
The 'script' style logo on the headstock indicates 1981 or 1982, because the headstock logo design changed in 1982/83. Also indicative of date, the output jack is located on the scratchplate rather than on the side of the body.
There is a serial number on neck plate. It indicates 1982, I believe.

CONDITION:
This guitar is in fantastic overall condition for its age. Very little use only.
This guitar is in all original condition, with all its original parts and hardware, including pickups, tuners, brass bridge, brass nut, and scratchplate/pickguard.
except, I'm going to change the 5-way pickup selector switch because it's not working properly (but I'll include the original one). And I've added copper shielding tape to the underside of pickguard/scratchplate. Otherwise, it's entirely in all original condition.
HISTORY:
I am the second owner of this guitar. I bought it directly from the original owner in about 2017. Light home use only throughout its life by both owners.
