The Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar in Walnut 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 bold high gloss walnut finish, the YFD-10 Walnut 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.

Bold High Gloss Walnut Finish Westwood YFD-10

The high gloss walnut finish on the Westwood YFD-10 Electric Guitar is one of the most iconic and powerful electric guitar colour choices available. Clean, aggressive and timeless, the walnut finish gives the YFD-10 a bold professional appearance that looks stunning under stage lights and in photographs. The combination of the walnut body with ivory binding and 3 ply B/W/B pickguard creates a striking contrast that gives the YFD-10 Walnut a premium and refined look that stands apart from ordinary walnut guitars.

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.

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 walnut 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.

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. 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.

ABS Ivory Style Binding

The ABS ivory style binding on the Westwood YFD-10 Walnut adds a premium visual detail that sets it apart from standard walnut electric guitars. The ivory binding creates a stunning contrast against the walnut body giving the YFD-10 a refined and high-end appearance.

3 Ply B/W/B Pickguard

The 3 ply walnut, white, walnut pickguard complements the walnut body finish perfectly giving the Westwood YFD-10 Walnut a coordinated and premium 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.

Road Dog 9-42 Strings

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