Here's a dirty old Workingman with the rarer 'Bird' logo on the headstock:

Doesn't have a case, but the neck and pickups are worth the starting bid (if you ask me...), not that I would ever encourage chopping up a guitar.

Same seller also has this Westone Spectrum with the 'Rising Sun' flag paint job:

I'm not sure if this is a factory paint job, but it looks like it. X189 was this a option in 1986? Anyway I think it looks pretty cool, although he wants 3 bills for it, which may be a little optimistic.

Yep, sure was and boy, that looks in great nick!! $300 may be a little over priced, but not much as that would be the first flag finish I've seen in 4 years...
