Hello fellow forum members!!! I have just purchased a brand new (for me) used 2001 Westerly Guild F-47MCE. I got this guitar mainly because I am starting to play some open mic's locally and this guitar has just a beautiful on board Fishman blend pre-amp. This guitar sounds wonderful plugged in or unplugged. I was playing it plugged into my AER Compact 60, and found that low volume on the guitar, and higher volume on the amp is the best way to go for this combo. Very accurate sound production. I slide the blend about 65% undersaddle, 35% mic and then balance the trebles and bass and am ready to go! I find this guitar just stunningly beautiful, and it is a joy to play. For some reason, the action on this guitar is the lowest of any of my guitars and still no buzzing!! The specs on this recomment 10's guage strings for some reason, but I have 12's on it (because I'm used to that) and it plays wonderfully. Here are some pics......
