Subject: RE: Electric guitar for blues
You need to check Ebay and the second hand shops.
In the 1980s, Matsumoku produced guitars under many names, Aria, Ibanez, and Westone amongst them, which had relatively wide, flat fretboards.
They were for shredders- so they are very easy to play.
They are also desperately unfashionable in this Retro-loving age when everybody has to have a Strat or a Gibson.
So they are very cheap too. Since they are very often fitted with really good pickups- they sound fantastic.
I would not sell my Westone, ever.
But honourable number one son is not going to get a lot of profit out of his inheritance of it!
Cheers
