He readily identified factory origin on a variety of instruments, and he made it plain that Kasuga was the builder of pretty much all the semi-hollow-body Electras and the MPC guitars, as previously suggested here. Most fascinatingly, Tom cleared up a lot of the “Uncle Mat” stuff that’s been circulating among collectors of Japanese guitars in the past decade. He also brought some never-before-seen sales and marketing materials.

Louis Music, was free to tell us all sorts of things about which we’d only theorized prior to Saturday. Tom, fresh off a 15-year nondisclosure agreement with St. Still, to walk into a studio in Evansville, Indiana and hear the man holding forth about that critical decade of 1975-1985 was, to put it mildly, magical. He’d confirmed with the event organizer that he’d at least stop by. Electra” and the man behind everything from the Modular Powered Circuit to the 18-way switching on the Westone Spectrum FX, would be able to attend. Whatever the reasons for my absence in the past three years - travel to other places, mostly, but also some annoyance about the decision to relocate the event to the South - I was thrilled to return this year. Was it really four years ago when I went to the first ElectraFest in a Transit Connect? Yes, it was, and the story can be found in part one and part two on TTAC. Two new finishes are listed – Crackle Red and Crackle Mist costing $375.What a stellar weekend this was! ElectraFest 2014 was something to remember for the rest of my life, primarily because I met the fellow who, unknown to either of us at the time, set me down the road to being something vaguely like a guitarist. New prices (Oct 1989 US pricelist) were $350 for Black, Red, or White. The WE1400 first appears in the 1989 ‘New Horizons’ catalogue, also appears in the 1990 catalogue.Īvailable in Black (WE1400BK) Red (WE1400RD) or White (WE1400WH) with Chrome hardware and black knobs Only appears in the Jan 1988 US price list at $299 Specs We currently have no images of this guitar, in real life, so if you own this and wish to donate an image or two, please get in contact here! Thank you.

The control knobs are certainly not ‘original Westone spec’ but other than that, it appears in good condition, and very similar to an Aria Pro II “The Cat” If you purchased it from this link then we would love to hear a sound sample, or see the insides, or whatever you can share with us! This guitar appeared on Reverb this month and looks like a lovely condition example.
Volume and Tone Control, with a coil tap push/pull.Humbucker pickups of unknown type, but likely similar to other Spectrum models of the same age, the Magnaflux IV.It is also VERY similar to the Aria Pro II ‘The Cat’ that used Matsumoku parts and built in the Samick Korean factory. It may either have been discontinued or may not have been available in the UK. This model does not appear in the August 1988 UK pricelist. Last appears in the Jan 1988 US pricelist, this time as the Spectrum Basic. Three different names for the same guitar!įirst appeared in the August 1986 US pricelist as the Spectrum SpecialĪppears in the April and Sept 1987 US pricelists as the Spectrum I Matsumoku to Jan 1987, 1986-88 Description We wouldn’t say the example on the left has been modified… more like “ruined”: Slaughtered?
