: : Hi! I've just bought a Westbury guitar from a local junk shop.I live in Newport,United Kingdom,and collect guitars.This Westbury is a vaguely SG shaped solid,and is a Standard.It has one white single coil pickup at the neck,and a black humbucker,that looks like a DiMarzio,at the bridge.I've looked at the Westbury website,and yhe guitar has the correct logo on the headstock.2 volume controls,and 2 tone,in the usual SG position,and a pickup selector.The middle position of the selector gives an unusual honky sound,and I'm not sure if its coil tapping the humbusker,or combining the two pickups.Its a nice guitar,with a great rock sound,and I'd like an idea how much its worth.E-mail me if you wish.Regards,David Williams

Seems like a late 70s early 80s Standard. The value is difficult to say but at least around € 400 I would say, sometimes they go for more in ebay, depending on the condition.

They were usually equipped with DiMarzio Super Distortions and Westbury branded Schaller m/c heads.

They are also made of solid mahagony with a glued neck.

Nice guitar, keep it well !
