I really like the design of this Westone Corsair Classic, it looks almost as if a Fender Stratocaster has been given the Gibson Junior treatment. Or perhaps a slightly offset version of Fender's Lead series guitars.
Of course this is one of the Sid Poole designed Prestige-series Westones built in the UK by the makers of the Status Graphite bass. It's virtually identical to the Westone Cutlass which differs only in pickup configuration.
This guitar is currently listed on eBay UK with a wholly reasonable Buy It Now price of £400. Alas, the seller specifies collection in person, which is quite a bummer if the prospective buyer is not within easy travelling distance of Swindon in Wiltshire, and is also peculiar given that the guitar comes in a hard case which looks like it'd easily provide adequate protection against the rigours of being sent by courier.
