Westone Spectrum LX (X198)

 

I went to my local shop to browse, I knew the owner and he asked me to demo an amp for someone as it was a busy day, I picked up this gutar off the hanger ...

 

Needless to say the amp didnt get sold, but I ended up with the guitar ! 

 

The only difference between the Spectrum FX and LX is the neck - bolt-on on the LX, set on the FXSolid Maple body,Hard Maple neck,Rosewood fingerboard with graphite nut 25.5 inch scale, 22 frets.

 

Pickups - two Magnaflux II UBC (Neck and bridge) and one Magnaflux IV (Mid)Master volume control (Push/pull for coil tap), two tone controls (Push/pull for mid pickup on/off and bridge pickup phase reverse)Bendmaster FT trem with FT string lock.
