westbury deluxe

[hagguy]

up for sale my very rare westbury deluxe
in decent condition for its age
needs a little fretwork but nothing major
sounds great all the usual les paul sustain with a coil
split switch to add some single coil sparkle
as much as i love it it doesnt get used and need to find a new

Bump for a gorgeous vintage JapCrap guitar.

For those that don't know, Westburys were high-end Matsumoku builds, made between 1978 & 1981. I have the bottom-of-the-range Westbury Standard & it's quite simply the best guitar I've ever played.

Anyway spec of this is excellent - all-maple build with set-neck, carved arch-top with German carved edge, Gotoh hardware, DiMarzio Super Distortion & Dual Sound pups.

Lots of guitards rave about these as "Les Paul killers" and they might have a point - mine certainly pi$$es all over the two LPs I've used.

Jon.

cheers jon couldn't put it better myself, i've had gibby les paul standrds before and
i honestley couldn't justify one after having westburys. this deluxe has a serial number on the
headstock which if i'm not mistaken is one of the handmade ones, really love this one but monets tight
and needs must

What are you looking for, I am in Glasgow?, or has it been sold?
