1980´s Westbury Custom mod W2302G tobacco sunburst MIJ

Very Good condition, 7/10, Made in Japan. 

The Custom Series was modeled on the Univox Westbury Performer from 1976, made by Matsumoku. It was a swell top guitar with a maple body, two symmetric cut aways, a glue on neck, carved top, German carve around the edge and shallow scallops in the cutaways. The head was shaped similar to an Aria and had an inlaid "W" logo, the fretboard was bound ebony with Les Paul stryle crown inlays. The guitar had a wide, flat bridge and a stop tail. There were two humbuckers, with a voulme and tone each and a 3 way switch located behind the stop tail. 

The guitar had a 6 position varitone with 18 possible sound selections. The selector could put either pickup in single coil, double coil, single out-of-phase, or double out-of-phase modes, 2pc original DiMarzio Dual Sound pickups, 3 mini switches, 1pc 3-way switch, 4 knobs, all original parts, some scratches and dents, and lacquer missing the body edge on the back, no case.

The Westbury Custom was available in an Antique Sunburst or a Tobacco Sunburst finish and manufactured from 1978-82. This is top of the line of these guitars which include the Standard and the Deluxe. The 6-position pick-up programmer (when wired to the original pickups) switches from dual coil, single coil and in/out of phase functions. 

Other features: Triple tortoise shell body with binding. Canadian hard rock maple (arch-top) body and neck. A bound 5 piece neck and head piece. Ebony fingerboard with Mother Of Pearl position markers. Super heavy-duty close-ratio tuning machines. Extra long travel adjustable bridge"
