Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar – Army Green

The Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar in Army Green is a premium ST style electric guitar built for guitarists who demand more from their instrument. Featuring an Alder body, roasted maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, ALNICO SSH pickup configuration with push-pull coil tap, ABS ivory style binding and stunning Army Green high gloss finish, the YFD-10 steps up from entry level electric guitars with premium ALNICO pickups, coil tap functionality and refined aesthetics that look and sound impressive on any stage or in any studio.

Alder Body for Balanced Tone Westwood YFD-10

The Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar features an Alder body in classic ST shape — one of the most popular and respected body woods in electric guitar making. Alder delivers a beautifully balanced tone with clear highs, punchy mids and tight controlled lows that works equally well for clean playing and driven tones. The high gloss Army Green finish on the Alder body gives the YFD-10 a bold military inspired appearance that stands out on any stage.

Premium ALNICO SSH Pickup Configuration

The biggest upgrade on the Westwood YFD-10 over standard budget electric guitars is the ALNICO pickup configuration. The YFD-10 features S ALNICO open style neck pickup, S ALNICO open style middle pickup and H ALNICO die-cast style bridge pickup with metal black die-cast cover. ALNICO pickups use Aluminium Nickel Cobalt magnets that produce a warmer more musical and more dynamic tone compared to standard ceramic pickups — delivering the classic vintage single coil clarity and warmth that serious guitarists prefer.

Push-Pull Coil Tap for Maximum Versatility

The Westwood YFD-10 features a push-pull 5 switch control system with coil tap functionality. The push-pull coil tap on the bridge humbucker allows you to split the humbucker into a single coil at the pull of the tone knob — giving you single coil brightness and clarity in addition to full humbucker power in one guitar. This doubles your tonal options and makes the YFD-10 one of the most versatile electric guitars available in this price range in India.

Roasted Maple Neck for Premium Feel and Stability

The roasted maple neck on the Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar provides exceptional stability, improved moisture resistance and a smooth fast playing feel compared to standard maple necks. Roasted maple is a premium neck material that gives the YFD-10 a warm natural aesthetic with enhanced durability and a smooth comfortable playing feel. The natural satin finish on the back of the neck ensures fast smooth playing without any stickiness during extended sessions.

Rosewood Fingerboard with Dot Inlays

The rosewood fingerboard features 22 frets with dot inlay standard style fretboard markers and matching dot side inlays for easy position reference during playing. Rosewood delivers a warm smooth tone character and comfortable playing surface across all 22 frets — a classic and premium fingerboard material that complements the ALNICO pickup tone beautifully.

ABS Ivory Style Binding

The ABS ivory style binding on the Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar adds a premium visual detail that sets it apart from standard budget electric guitars. The ivory binding around the body edges gives the YFD-10 a refined and professional appearance that looks high-end and sophisticated against the Army Green finish.

3 Ply B/W/B Pickguard

The 3 ply black white black pickguard adds a classic and premium visual contrast against the Army Green finish giving the Westwood YFD-10 a refined and striking appearance on any stage.

ST Standard Tremolo Bridge

The ST standard tremolo bridge allows expressive pitch vibrato and whammy bar techniques while maintaining reliable intonation and string stability. The tremolo bar features black coating with black knob for a perfectly coordinated appearance with the metal black round knobs and black die-cast bridge pickup cover.

Metal Black Round Knobs

Premium metal black round knobs provide smooth and precise volume and tone control adjustment during playing with a premium coordinated appearance that matches the overall black hardware theme of the YFD-10.

Road Dog 9-42 Strings

The Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar comes factory fitted with Road Dog 9-42 strings for light comfortable playability and responsive tone straight out of the box.

Two Way Truss Rod

The two way adjustable truss rod allows precise neck relief adjustment for optimal playability and action height in any climate or humidity condition.

Metal Plate Neck Joint with Westwood Branding

The metal plate neck joint with Westwood branding provides a secure and stable neck connection for excellent sustain and resonance transfer from neck to body.

Army Green High Gloss Finish

The Army Green high gloss finish on the Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar is a bold and unique colour choice that gives the guitar a strong military inspired aesthetic. Combined with the ivory binding, 3 ply pickguard and black hardware the Army Green YFD-10 has a complete and coordinated premium appearance that looks impressive on any stage.
