The pickups sounds awesome and everything is working fine, all original except for the 3-way switch that wasn’t working properly so I replaced it with a new one. It’s a pretty heavy Telecaster with great sustain and nice feel to it. Frets are in great condition and there isn’t a single mark on the back of the neck.

Matsumoku made Arai, Aria, Aria Pro II and Aria Diamond badges, with Aria being their primary badge for a majority of this time frame. Matsumoku produced guitars for major manufacturers Greco, Guyatone and Yamaha. Matsumoku is one of the Japanese manufacturers that did not survive long after the heyday of the 1970’s guitar market despite having a long tradition of quality stringed instrument craftsmanship. Westone Les Paul copy, made in Japan by Matsumoku in 1970’s The pickups were pretty great in the Westone Les Paul too, maybe there was something special about these late 1970’s Matsumoku built Westone guitars. The pickups were pretty great too, not Grey Bobbin pickups like on my Tokai Silver Star SS-36, but still, pretty sweet sounding. You can read more about in my earlier post, Are all Japanese guitars good? I think what I would miss most of the Westone Strat is the Sen ash body, the wood was amazing and without any doubt the heaviest and most solid Strat I have ever seen with a fantastic sustain. There was a huge change in Japanese guitars around 1975, not just the quality but perhaps more about how well they managed to copy the big American brands.Therfor a Greco guitar from 1978 would be better built than one from 1972, not just because the first was made by FujiGen but because it was made after 1975. I’ve always claimed that FujiGen was better than Matsumoku but I start to think that might have been more about when and not so much where. I have to say that the quality was pretty good for being a less known brand from the Matsumoku factory. You can read more about the brand Westone here. Westone built Fender and Gibson copies in the late 1970’s before they started on their own heavy metal influenced creations of the 1980’s that owned the brand it’s name. I have had two Westone guitars, a Strat and a Les Paul copy and I really liked both of them. Oh well, I needed to make room for my new Tokai Silver Star SS-36 so it had to go. It felt kind of sad, I don’t normally miss guitars that I sell, well that’s I lie, I have missed all of the guitars I’ve sold but normally not this much. This weekend my Westone Stratocaster found a new owner. Westone Stratocaster copy, made in Japan by Matsumoku in 1979
