Fuck. I would have bought these in a heartbeat if they were on the 25.5" guitars. I much prefer these to the blue/black/white/etc finishes.

Yeah, but the Jamesport is super nice and full scale and not super expensive. Not as good of a deal as the $299 price some got, but $420 is a killer deal still from the $899 normal price.....

Oh and these do feel like $899 guitars. Mine is amazing.

Just found this thread. I bought the Westbury in Tobacco Burst back at the end of Nov when it was dropped to $370 at Sam Ash. I price-matched and got mine from Musician's Friend. Being in Nov, was able to get the hard shell case "free" from Supro. Easy to do, but did have to pay shipping which was $22 in my case. No problem, case is definitely on the cheap side, but the fit is good and it is fine for medium duty.
Had no issues with the Westbury. Indonesian made, the fit and finish is more than decent. Easy to play, the satin neck might be the smoothest neck I've ever felt. Easy playing, quite comfortable to me. Not sure how good the electronics are, but it sounds surprisingly good. Pups are a big plus.
All in all, quite a nice deal. I'd call it an impulse buy, as I would resell it if not that impressed, but it is a keeper.

I am just now finding this thread..... To fill in a small gap or to clarify, I designed the "S" and goldfoil cover for Supro and I oversaw the construction of the internals. They are as close to mine as can be. The gold foil is an aesthetic to an otherwise completely faithful to the original pickup and they are fantastic! They are warm and twangy which are two qualities hard to find in the same pickup.

I hope people snatch these up not because I'm involved but because they are a great guitar.
