Westbury Guitar Serial Number
Hi, Iam also looking for info on Westbury guitars, I have one - a small, sculpted solid body, dark brown with twin Di-marzio humbuckers, the usual tone and volume for each one and the old either one, tother or both crossover switch. There is also a row of three gold (colour) toggle switches that seem to do things with the tone but I'm not sure what. The only writing on it is Westbury and custom (on the truss rod cover) and a serial number which is 109057. Any other info gratefully accepted. I can supply a photo if I had an address. : Hi, Iam also looking for info on Westbury guitars, I have one - a small, sculpted solid body, dark brown with twin Di-marzio humbuckers, the usual tone and volume for each one and the old either one, tother or both crossover switch.

G'day anyone, I have a 1980 Westbury custom which I use all the time. Great guitar! If anyone out there knows of one going I'd like very much to know.
Good playing to y'all, mick mepham. I have 2 of them. Theyre great guitars made by the Uni-Cord Corp. Only 3 years.
The one you have I believe is called a Westbury Performer. They the first ones made by the skeleton crew left behind here in Westbury NY when Uni-Vox moved to Japan.
Yours is more than likely a 1978 or early 1979, they're also the raress t of all the Westbury guitars. Hang on to it. Keep it original and in just a few years from now you'll have a very pricey piece. They were part of the Jim Marshall (Marshall Amps) subsidieary corporations which he helped get started back in the late 60's and 70's.
I also have a couple LesPauls, a 650G 1976 Kramer, 2 Strats, a Delta King BB30 Oscar Schmidt, all great axes but none play or sound like that Westbury. Right now theyre worth about $600 - $1000 in mint shape. Soon because of the re-issue in 2016, of the same axe you have (the RS-22) the price is going to go through the roof.
I know what I'm talking about. When Gibson re-issued the 61 SG what happend?
When they re-issued the 57 Gold Top What happend? Telecharger emulateur super nintendo pour ps3. When Fender re-issued the 52 Telecaster what happend? The Westbury's were already rare, and great playing as you well know. Watch what happens in the next few years. I already know people who would love to have one of mine, but that ain't gonna happen, not without some serious cake. Mark my word, and watch the price go up and up and up and.
Well you get the picture right? Good luck to ya, Doc Wayne in Rosedale MD. I have a very similar guitar with neck through the body (Maple I think) The three toggle switches are phase switces and change the polarity of the pickup. You're right in that it affects the tonality quite a bit. I got the guitar when I was a about 14 and have used it off and on for years.
Great sounding guitar. I've had it refretted a couple of times and always got great comments on it.: Hi, Iam also looking for info on Westbury guitars, I have one - a small, sculpted solid body, dark brown with twin Di-marzio humbuckers, the usual tone and volume for each one and the old either one, tother or both crossover switch.
