    Default Unknown guitar

    Hope someone can help i've been looking at a guitar I wish to buy, but cant work out what make or model it is. It says westield on the headstock, but i'm not sure if this has been stuck on by someone. If anyone can guide me as to if it is a westfield and what model it is I would be grateful. Unfortunately I have no information about this guitar only a couple of pics.

    Looks like a typical westfield type guitar, you might want to have a look at Hamer's XT range as well though as they do a lot of variants on that style guitar and pretty much came up with the maple top les paul Jr design really.......

    Just to let you know it is definately a Westfield. It definately is not a prs copy headstock, pickups and other differences. It is of the les paul styling though that much i have found out

    Default Not quite

    Sorry not an E4500 headstock......fretboard on this one is dot inlay whereas the E4500 is not. I thought that at 1st.....and the pick ups and bridge set up is slightly different and the switch layout.........the idea of it being a doublecut lespaul copy seems the closest so far, but I can't find any info on westfield ever making one like this. Thanks for all the ideas so far though. Tough one to crack this.

    Definately not the prs copy one, look at the control layout and upper horn. Tbh tho, at those prices it wont really matter who made it, its not going to be "perfect", probably nothing a good tech and setup couldnt cure though......
