Found this doing an house clearance

Sign in to disble this ad
Helping my mate do an house clearance yesterday,we came across this westfield guitar in a box, the owner said we could take it as it didnt work.
i took it home and cleaned it up and it came out really nice, a few dings and scratches but nothing serious, i plugged it into my amp and it sounded really nice, it needs a new tuning peg and a new set of strings.
I know its a cheap guitar but it was free so is ideal for upgrading for very little outlay.

www.guitarfetish.com is probably the best place to get some new tuners on the cheap.

Hey, thanks for that link. I have a Lyle bass with one missing tuner ferrrule, and it's an odd size. I may have to replace all four tuners to get it working with all tuners matching - and that site does have really good prices.

Here's the bass:


And the tuners,...note missing ferrule on the D string (top right):
