His a nice guy, he saw a niche in the guitar market in ebay's early days, and became very successful to exploit it. I handled a lot of Wesley guitars as the local schools were using them during their 'rock school' period. Every one of them was well made and at the high end of what was coming out of China at the time.
The 335 clones were pretty good, some of the best I'd seen. The headstock had a striking Ibanez shape, the necks were slightly chunky and the finish and detail were more in keeping with a Korean made guitar.
There were thousands sold, and its some testament that you don't often see them up for sale. I theorise that most guitarists at some point had a Wesley in their collection, and that one day; the free-ads, ebay and gumtree would be saturated with used Wesley's for sale. That doesn't seem to be the case.
I know many of the early 'correct' headstock shape Wesley strats were bought, broken and sold as parts for thrice the initial cost. So there are as many parts-casters made from Wesley guitars as there are Wesley guitars.
I did get asked a few times if I made these, those people also got told to piss off.
I worked on a few and didn't rate them at all, and I am not against a cheapy

I never handled any of the later Wesley's, but the many I did were really well built.
I've had 2 Wesley guitars over the years - a 335-ish clone (which felt and played great) and a Telecaster (same - still got that one).
I've seen (and heard) of others which aren't so good, but my personal experience has been very positive.
