A real understated look - I think this is a different custom, probably a BC Rich judging by the headstock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molecule Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I had a couple of Westone Thunders in the late 80's, here are a couple of photos of the Thunder IIIA fretless. I sold it when I moved on to a five string Status S2 fretless, which I still have. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
