Westfield Review: E4000 (les paul style)

History:

Purchase: I bought this guitar from Sound Control (England) for £99. It was my starter guitar, so i was not looking to spend much, it also offered the style i wanted.

What I Like About This Westfield E4000 (les paul style): It was very reasonably priced, looks good and most of all sounds pretty good. I am not expert, so i asked my friend who had been playing for many years and he said it played nice. In the shop we tried it in white and he said it did not feel as nice as the vintage sunburst (which i have)

What I Do NOT Like About The Westfield E4000 (les paul style): I played a pacifica and that was much easier to play on as the fret board was not as wide. So it is quite hard to play, but feels comfortable. It also is pretty heavy. When you sit with it round your neck you sometimes want to just chuck it off it hurts so much

Westfield E4000 (les paul style) Quality Rating: The quality is suprisingly good for the price and when looking at it you would not believe the price. Before buying i compared its finish with a squire. The squire was rough and messy, the westfield smart and well made.

Review Summary: Its good for the price, but as they say "you only get what you pay for". I have nothing much to compare this guitar with as its my 1st, but after playing a pacifica for a few weeks then this i must say its slightly harder. The weight is also pretty anoying. But as the looks go and as a starter, its good for me, and probably for you. When buying, try and swindle as much out of the salesman as possible. This includes, a strap, or lead as much as possible! because you could go elsewhere with your cash and buy one of many starters from another store.

Rating of this Westfield product: 4
