Treasured British guitar company, Westfield, is set to relaunch this summer beginning with a new collection of acoustic guitars that combine high-end appointments and state-of-the art production methods with affordable prices. The Performer series continues Westfield’s tradition of building guitars that offer astonishing value for money, while the top-of-the-line Artist series is aimed at the more discerning player.
Established in 1989 in Scotland, Westfield saw huge success among players looking for an entry-level instrument with an outstanding build quality. These robust yet refined guitars were even picked up by chart topping musicians such as McFly, Jason Mraz, and Amy Winehouse who wrote a song about her Westfield TF656 acoustic guitar (Cherry from her debut album Frank). The company was recently acquired by iconic music string makers, Rotosound Manufacturing Limited, who have designed a brand new array of guitars from their headquarters in Kent, England.
Performer series
All models feature laminate spruce tops, optional Fishman® Presys II electronics, Graphtech NuBone® saddles and nuts, and are fitted with coated Rotosound® Nexus strings. The Performer series offers a wide choice to players choosing their first acoustic or looking to augment their collection with a new style of guitar.
Artist series
Models feature solid spruce or cedar tops, optional Fishman® Flex electronics, Graphtech NuBone® saddles and nuts, Rotosound® Nexus strings, and a deluxe padded gig bag. The Artist series brings together upgraded tone wood, electronics, and aesthetic enhancements to create the perfect instrument for both professional and up-and-coming musicians.
