Usually i hate when people throw out trigger words like "rare" and "lawsuit" but in the 8 months that i've been "perusing the aisles" for fine japanese guitars from a bygone era, westbury's are, at least, semi-rare. So this doesn't bother me as much.

Looks like a sweet guitar!! Wish i had ze money for it. Seems high priced but seems like everything is way more expensive just in the last coupla years. Been to the grocery store recently? Anyhow, have a look! We can at least look at it, right? :rofl:

I had a Custom some years ago. Sweet guitar. Had a Standard also. Another sweet guitar. Paid less than $250 for either.

But not $800 sweet. Not with a crack at the heel like that.

Don't know much about Westbury but that's a really sweet looking guitar!

Ordinarily a finish crack in the area of the heel doesn't cause me great concern, but that crack does look suspiciously like it's telegraphing a joint line movement eh? :look:
