Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar – Metallic Blue

The Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar in Metallic Blue 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 metallic blue finish, the YFD-10 Metallic Blue 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.

Stunning Metallic Blue Finish Westwood YFD-10

The metallic blue finish on the Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar is one of the most visually striking and eye catching electric guitar colour choices available. Bold, vibrant and premium looking, the metallic blue finish gives the YFD-10 a dazzling stage presence that catches light beautifully under stage lighting and looks stunning in photographs. The metallic sheen adds depth and dimension to the blue colour making it look far more premium than standard solid colour finishes. The combination of the metallic blue body with ivory binding and 3 ply B/W/B pickguard creates a visually impressive contrast that gives the YFD-10 Metallic Blue a truly unique and premium appearance on any stage.

Alder Body for Balanced Tone

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 metallic blue finish on the Alder body enhances the visual premium quality of the instrument while the Alder wood ensures professional tonal performance.

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. The metallic blue YFD-10 looks as premium as it sounds.

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 Metallic Blue 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 provides exceptional stability, improved moisture resistance and a smooth fast playing feel compared to standard maple necks. The warm natural roasted maple aesthetic contrasts beautifully with the metallic blue body creating a visually striking combination. 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 that complements the ALNICO pickup tone beautifully.

ABS Ivory Style Binding

The ABS ivory style binding on the Westwood YFD-10 Metallic Blue creates a beautiful and striking contrast against the metallic blue body — giving the guitar a refined premium appearance that looks high-end and sophisticated on any stage.

3 Ply B/W/B Pickguard

The 3 ply black white black pickguard adds a classic premium visual contrast against the metallic blue finish giving the Westwood YFD-10 Metallic Blue a coordinated and refined appearance that is completely unique and eye catching 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 premium coordinated appearance with the metallic blue body.

Road Dog 9-42 Strings

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