paul h Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Just taken delivery of a Westfield E400 LP junior copy. P90, set neck and mahogany body for £100 Thought I would do a bit of recording with it, so for those interested what a £100 guitar sounds like...

BigRedX Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 That's nice! Second hand I assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul h Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1382532161' post='2253249'] That's nice! Second hand I assume? [/quote] Thanks Brand spanking new! Found it on the "bay" £50 cheaper than anywhere else. I thought it was worth a shot for that price. First impressions are excellent although the action is quite high. It needs a day or two to acclimate before I start tinkering with it. I can't see any reason why I won't get it playing to my taste in a few minutes or less. EDIT: It also needs a polish Edited October 23, 2013 by paul h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Nice, you looking to give it an upgrade and setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Set up yes...upgrade I am undecided on. It sounds pretty good to me so as long as it stays in tune I will probably leave it alone.

GarethFlatlands Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Well if it aint broke! I'd consider a new nut as they look like plastic on the ones I saw on e-bay and I just don't like 'em. I'd be interested to hear how the pickups sound, might be worth considering as a backup guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 That looks nice Paul, and great that they used a compensated bridge like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 £100? Blimey! Good result; I do love P90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It will be used mainly as a recording guitar. It's not staying in tune particularly well so I think a new nut might well be on the cards!

[/quote] Yeah, the bridge does make a difference over other LPJ copies I've played. (Nice photo don't you think? ) [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1382715175' post='2255859'] £100? Blimey! Good result; I do love P90s. [/quote] I'm a recent convert after struggling to get a sound I like out of single coils but nor really liking humbuckers for clean tones.

paul h Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Thanks I'm really pleased with it as just a good, simple, rock guitar. Needs tuning between every take but I can live with that for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
