What do we think of this? Looks pretty nice to me.

From my understanding from the Westone forums these are indeed nice guitars. They seem to be more like the workingman models of the Maple Pro's basic but tough and sound nice.

And then there's this Vantage which I bet is pretty nice too - the only thing missing is a bound neck. I think this may be a birch top.

Hobster over at the Westone forums is trying to contact the seller to meet and get his hands on that Rainbow. They are both in Eugene, OR.

Most everyone over at Westone does like those Rainbow models, especially when they can find them in the CoffeeBurst finishes.

These are great guitars, i love mine! I've contacted the owner but haven't had a response yet which is kind of a bummer because this is a pretty small town. I'll try my best to check her out and give anyone who is interested the low down. These have great tone, MMK 75's that sound sweet and clean, and great craftsmanship. Usually 400-500 bucks and worth every penny.

Thanks hobster - suspicions confirmed. I can't grab it but I hope someone else here does.
