Westone Paduak I
F810081
The previous owner of this had it from new, gigged relentlessly with it until life took over. It's missing its brass knobs currently, but we'll put that right as soon as we can.
F810081 is an early model of Paduak with the regular Matsumoku neck plate, not the later Westone embossed plate. Not exactly a one-trick-pony - the F-450 humbucker is splittable, and the active boost gives a proper boost even when in single mode.
The Brochure stated "greatly increased output" for the active circuit. They weren't kidding. It's no secret I am borderline obsessed with Paduaks. Not without reason I reckon.
