Westone Prestige 250
Mahogany body capped with Tiger
Flame Maple (Including headstock), 3-ply mahogany set neck (Heelless),
ebony fingerboard. The body, neck and headstock are all bound.
Twin humbuckers with independent
volume and Westones own (And as far as I know unique) PEQ tone
controls.
(Wind it down from the center detent and it's a normal tone control
giving apparent bass boost by filtering out the treble so winding
it up from center
gives a sound like variable coil tap)
There are two (Possibly 3)
versions -
Version 1 (1982-3)
Early models have a script logo on the headstock. Available in Sunrise
Sunburst and Antique Cremona
Thanks
to Martin (Wallman) for these photos
Version 2 (1983-4)
'Bird' W logo on the headstock,
different lettering style on the truss rod cover. Available in Antique
Brown Sunburst or Antique Cremona
Produced from 1982 until 1983/4 (Appears in the 1982/3
and 1983 catalogues but not in the 1984 catalogue or August 1984
pricelist), this model may
have been reissued in 1986 (Until 1988) as the Prestige
II
