Vintage Westbury Standard Electric Guitar Natural Japan w/ Hardshell Case

Beautiful wood grain, distinctive double-cutaway styling, and vintage Japanese character! This Westbury Standard offers a compelling combination of set-neck construction, dual humbuckers, and classic four-knob controls, complete with a Westbury-branded hardshell case.

Dating approximately to 1979–1982, this guitar is in very good vintage condition. Its warm, transparent brown finish shows off the wood grain, while cream pickup bobbins, chrome hardware, and the distinctive Westbury headstock give it an unmistakable period look.

The sculpted body edges and double cutaways complement a comfortable, familiar 24¾-inch scale. Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, along with a three-way selector, provide plenty of flexibility for shaping your sound.
