<p>[QUOTE="LeftonGuy, post: 22144, member: 149"]I checked it out a bit. Nothing about that model. But it seems Westbrook may have sold the name to the Japanese at some time - maybe the 1970s (sometime after the 1950s-1960s), before that being made in the US (?). It seems the key info to know is if it is plywood and what kind of finish it has. Maybe you can tell if it plywood by examining the sound hole? I don't know how to differentitate the finishes, but polyurethane finish is not good.</p><p><br /></p><p>Searching google for pertinent info is difficult because of the Westbrook Guitar Museum and the man James Westbrook causing lots of conflicts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
