I had an 89 I found in a mom and pop music store literally un played still had the plastic on the covers,truss rod cover as well.
Anniversary neck plate too.IIRC I paid 150.00 with OHSC.Trem was a bendmaster deluxe very much like a floyd but strung thru the block like a vintage trem.Solid and stayed in tune.
Sold it for way more than I paid.It was a great high quality guitar.Active pick ups too.Sounded killer

My brother-in-law told me last night that after looking at some guitar chord charts on the internet he's decided to stick with bass. So he said he wants to give me the guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How cool is that?!!

I have a Westone and an Electra--great guitars. The one your brother-in-law found is one of the more expensive models...

Heh Sweet, i had a westone electra as well, i think it was dark burgundy, and had a black carbon fiber neck or something. I've browsed ebay before just to see if i could find what it looked like again, but have never seen one.
I remember the Pateras? i think that was westone yeah? those were pretty cool too.

At that time, I don't think CF was affordable at a consumer level.
It may have been Ebanol?
Epiphone from the late 80's had used it also.

It was an electra pretty sure, 1985 to be exact - i was 15 living on the streets and on christmas eve i put a baseball bat thru the store window for it, only put a hole in the window, so i put my arm in and yanked it thru the glass. Lucky for me i didn't chop my arm off (i was wasted) got busted 6 months later, did time and that was the last of my "breaking the law" days.
After all that, the store owner actually forgave me and i felt like dirt and later asked if i could work off the payment for the window painting the shop and sign, and when i moved away he actually gave me the guitar and a case for it, lesson learned and quite humbled me.
