Description

The Westbury is an updated reissue of the Supro electric solidbody guitar. 1960’s-style alder beveled-edge Ozark body shape, enhanced with an ultra-fast satin-finished 25.5″ scale set neck. Rosewood fretboard, Tune-o-matic bridge, and wave tailpiece. The unique Gold Foil pickups found in the Supro Westbury are faithful reproductions of the original magnetics developed for Valco by Ralph Keller in the early 1950s. These pickups, have a big, broadband sound with remarkably low noise for a single-coil design.
The humbucker-sized Gold Foil bridge pickup found in the Westbury is slightly overwound, while the neck pickup is reverse-wound in order to provide fully hum-cancelling sound when the two pickups are combined in the middle position of the 3-way switch. Nice, low action that plays GREAT all the way up the neck.
