Description

Step into the realm of legendary craftsmanship with the Westone Prestige 250, a distinguished member of the solid body electric guitar lineage. Originally crafted in the renowned Matsumoku factory in Japan during the mid-1980s, this guitar embodies a fusion of exquisite design and impeccable build quality. Its heelless set neck design offers seamless playability, allowing your fingers to dance effortlessly across the frets.

The Prestige 250’s body combines the warmth of mahogany with the striking beauty of a tiger flame maple top, creating a visual and auditory masterpiece. The dual Super Twin II alnico II humbuckers deliver a clear, breathy tone with a wide midrange, providing outstanding string separation and clarity. This sonic versatility is further enhanced by the innovative 'PEQ' passive equalizer system, which cleverly splits the pickups into a single coil sound, adding treble and attack without the need for a battery.

Attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the engraved gold tuners to the unique eagle logo adorning the headstock. Whether you're performing on stage or recording in a studio, the Westone Prestige 250 promises an exceptional playing experience characterized by its rich tones and striking aesthetics. This guitar is not just an instrument; it's a piece of musical history that continues to inspire and captivate musicians around the world.

Critic Reviews

Westone Prestige guitars (12T Oct 84)

muzines.co.uk

Westone's Prestige 250 series impresses with its traditional craftsmanship, boasting excellent sustain and cosmetic upgrades. However, the tremolo system leaves much to be desired, with tuning stability issues and a cumbersome string retainer. Despite the flawed tone controls, the guitars offer a robust build and vibrant finish, appealing to heavy rock enthusiasts.
