1958 National Westwood

Serial # X94681. Pots date to mid 1957. Before the Westwood became a Resoglass National, the model was a simple, small, solidbody guitar with a short 22" scale length and a single pickup. The metallic copper paint is fairly unusual, but factory original. The guitar is light and small but has a mighty voice thanks to that Valco single-coil pickup. Nothing like any other single coil you've heard, these pickups are dark, fat, and strong. Blues players love them for their growl. Tone and volume controls, tone-bypass switch, gold hardware through out, and completely original save for the tuner buttons. Set-up in shop, this one is gig ready.
With original chipboard case
