Hey Westbone, the Pantera is the first guitar I've owned that has the FR type trem arms, so I know zilch about them. What I cannot find in a search is information on the black finish on the neck. Any guesses on that? Is the PW colour considered to be a true metallic? I'm looking through the Toyota colour chart to pinpoint a code. I just found a page where I've read posts about a fellow called Tom Presley and realised he's the daddy of it all, and that's where you guys know about the Imron and Toyota colour schemes! I'm now storing these info links in an itemised document so that I do not have to be chasing and repeating my questions, well at least try to avoid it. Is it all original or is it a refinish? Did these models sometimes come with a chrome trem bar and collar? Did they come with a chrome wrench-key holder? I would humbly suggest a Kahler behind-the-nut stringlock as the original item is as rare as chickens lips and a little fragile to boot!ĭamian has a very elegant work around for the wang bar and collar which is one I have used myself involving an original FR bar PM him!!Īh so it is your Pantera Westbone! Nicest looking guitar I've seen. The parts are more problematic, though MMk 45s can still be found on eBay though they're getting pricey.

I also reckon a full repray, but personally I'd go for the Pantera red as that Pearl White is a little bland and a Pantera needs to shout out "Look at me, look at me!!"ĭamian's right that headstock may come right with some judicious wet and dry sanding with ever increasing grades of paper and a final polish, and besides making your own water slide decals is easy peasy: look, if I can do it, anyone can! and I'm a renowned cheapskate always looking for a cheaper way! The paint chips used for Westone were, according to information received, those used for Toyota cars so matching shouldn't be too awkward!!Įxpensive is a relative term, and given that you get what you pay for, paint is one area I don't skimp even roughly.

So in the next post I'll place up the pictures and request for your thoughts. I'd be really appreciative if you think you can be of help with those parts. the wrench thing that is screwed to the back of the headstock the tremolo arm and the trem shaft it fits into However now I prefer this Pearl White finish. Leslie West (Mountain) 1987 Westone Pantera guitar advertisement 8 x 11 ad print. I remember falling in love with what I now know as a Candy Red Pantera but I was advised to buy something else. Never had one before and hadn't seen one since the 80s when they were hanging up in a local music store. So I'm asking, perhaps pleading for help, tips, perhaps a couple of needed parts. At heart I am a traditionalist and so I wish to restore it to its original state. The paint job was not preofesisonally done and it didn't look too good, but that doesn't matter. I came across a Westone Pantera that was completed painted with an acrylic paint. This has been an excellent guitar for me, but I've officially got too many guitars, and I can't justify leaving this guitar sitting in its case when it could be in the loving hands of another player or collector.I've been getting some tips from Corsair which I am grateful for but I have finally taken his advaice to put my project up for all to view. This guitar is also equipped with the far-rarer "Bendmaster Deluxe" tremolo, as opposed to the Kahler Dix trem. The neck joint from the Bayonet-set neck feels as smooth as any true 'neck-thru' guitar. This guitar is constructed with a carved maple body, and 25.5", 24-fret maple 'bayonet-set' neck with an ebony finger board. The middle knob is a factory-equipped push-pull coil split, and the lowest knob is a push-pull phase switch. This guitar features a pair of OFC (Oxygen-free copper) humbuckers, and is wired with 2 tone knobs and one volume knob. one of only 96 made between 19 in the japanese Matsumoku factory, this is both the rarest, and highest-end of the "pantera" models.
