'83 Thunder III. WAS A 10 STRING ! (UK)
This one has had an interesting life.
THIS - at first glance - is a rather fine looking 1983 Thunder III finished in Onyx and it seems to in excellent condition. The strange thing is that the owner bought it new and within a few years he decided it would be great to convert it to a 10 string
(as you do!).
20 odd years down the road the seller came to his senses and converted it back to normal. The headstock still needs a bit of work and the 'Westone' logo has gone (I think it was abalone on this model?), but I believe there is still a good guitar to be had from this.
£250 Buy It Now, but it is open to bids, although a reserve price applies.
DAN.

Is there something in the UK water supply that makes people wanna bugger up every Thunder they see?

They certainly seem to have more than their fair share of Barnes Wallises, don't they!! But that T-III , if I was a bit closer, I would be having a very careful think about; it is complete, apart from the bridge, has a carved top and set neck and best of all is an odd pick up configuration!! The extra holes in the headstock just ain't an issue, really....
I do wonder, however, about the nut....
