I can't figure out what model that is but no matter - 5-10 minutes away - so offer sent. Anyone know what that model is? Some kind of Spectrum??

Looks like a MIK Spectrum GT WE6400 but others around here know this line much better than I do.

But it has open pickups and looks like only 2 knobs. I can't seem to find a match. Corsair or Iceman will probably know at a glance.

Sold to someone that isn't me. :cry:

Sorry I missed that one dudes. The listing has already been pulled when I clicked the link. Anyone poke around here to find a match or similar make?...

http://www.westoneguitars.net/guitars/

Several of the MIK Spectrums did have only 2 control knobs similar to the Series I and IA models. Did it have any other odd characteristics? (reverse headstock, script logo, etc.)

**EDIT** Is this the one in that earlier link?...

That is not the same guitar. I can still see the listing if I pick the link in the first post. That guitar has a reverse headstock and no script logo, only W followed by Westone. Headstock has locking nut and triangle shaped truss rod cover. The body looks similar to the other guitar.

The pic went with the listing but I thought it had three pots but was missing one knob.

Something goofy is going on with my phone as your pics are not showing up in your last post Ron. I'll pm you my email address and mebbe you could send them to me?

From the sound of it I am going to guess a Spectrum II or perhaps a Corsair. If I can see these pictures it would obviously help.

**EDIT** Forget the pm Ron... I pulled your Photobucket album off the .img links instead and took a look directly from there. It is a variant of an xa1330 as seen here...

http://www.westoneguitars.net/guitars/s ... ctrum-iii/

The earlier models in that line like that black one were not known to have reversed headstocks but things did occur bass-ackwards at times just like in the Electra days. Either that or a former owner got a MIK Spectrum reversed neck and put it on. What were they asking for it on CL?
