Detailed Features & Benefits

Traditional Left-Handed Folk Cutaway Body Design

The Westfield WF-400-NTCEL features a traditional folk body inspired by classic 000 and auditorium-style acoustic guitars, specifically configured for left-handed players. Its comfortable proportions provide a more manageable playing experience than larger dreadnought instruments, while delivering a balanced acoustic sound with articulate midrange frequencies, clear treble and controlled bass response. The single cutaway improves access to the upper frets, giving players additional freedom for melodic arrangements, lead passages and more adventurous chord voicings. This combination of comfortable dimensions and tonal versatility makes the WF-400-NTCEL particularly appealing to fingerstyle musicians and singer-songwriters.

Solid Top & Mahogany Construction

At the heart of the WF-400-NTCEL is a solid wood soundboard designed to provide a naturally responsive and resonant acoustic voice. Its mahogany laminate back and sides complement the top by contributing warmth, tonal balance and controlled resonance. Together, these materials produce an expressive acoustic sound that responds well to delicate fingerpicking, melodic arrangements and relaxed strumming. The folk body design helps individual notes remain clear and well defined, making the guitar particularly suitable for styles that require articulation and dynamic control.

Fishman Sonitone Electronics

The WF-400-NTCEL is equipped with a Fishman Sonitone pickup system, allowing players to reproduce the instrument's acoustic character through an amplifier, mixing desk or compatible PA system. Designed for straightforward amplified performance, the integrated electronics provide a practical solution for musicians performing live or recording through external equipment. The combination of the guitar's balanced folk body and Fishman electronics makes it particularly versatile, allowing players to move easily between unplugged practice sessions and amplified performances.

Comfortable Left-Handed Neck & Cutaway

The WF-400-NTCEL features an Okume neck with a comfortable C-shaped profile, providing a familiar and accessible playing experience for left-handed musicians. Its 648mm scale length and 43mm nut width accommodate a wide variety of playing techniques, including open chords, barre chords, fingerpicking and melodic arrangements. The traditional dovetail neck joint and 14th-fret body connection combine classic acoustic construction with practical upper-fret access, while the Black Richnite fingerboard provides a smooth, durable playing surface. The addition of a single cutaway makes the guitar particularly suitable for players who regularly explore higher-register notes.

Elegant Natural Gloss Finish

The WF-400-NTCEL features an attractive Natural Gloss finish that highlights the guitar's traditional acoustic styling and natural wood grain. Its understated appearance is complemented by decorative mahogany binding, contrasting black-and-white detailing and a traditional solid headstock. These classic appointments give the guitar a refined appearance suitable for both casual playing and live performance, combining timeless acoustic aesthetics with practical modern construction.

Quality Hardware & Traditional Appointments

The Westfield WF-400-NTCEL incorporates a selection of quality components designed to enhance its overall playing experience. A Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle help provide consistent string contact and clear note definition, while chrome Der Jung tuning machines offer dependable tuning adjustment. The Black Richnite bridge and fingerboard provide durable playing surfaces, while the adjustable two-way truss rod allows neck relief to be maintained as required. These practical appointments complement the instrument's traditional design and versatile playing characteristics.

Ideal for Fingerstyle, Folk & Live Performance

Folk-style electro-acoustic guitars are particularly popular among musicians who appreciate tonal balance, comfort and clear individual note definition. The WF-400-NTCEL is well suited to left-handed players who enjoy fingerstyle, folk, acoustic blues, country, pop and singer-songwriter music.
