Detailed Features & Benefits

Traditional Left-Handed Parlour Body Design

The Westfield WP-400-NTL features a traditional parlour body specifically configured for left-handed musicians. Inspired by the compact acoustic guitars associated with early blues, folk and roots music, its smaller dimensions and narrow waist provide a comfortable playing experience without the bulk of a full-sized dreadnought. The body produces a focused, midrange-rich tone with excellent individual note clarity and a naturally controlled bass response, making it particularly effective for fingerstyle arrangements, acoustic blues and intimate performances.

Solid Top & Mahogany Construction

At the heart of the WP-400-NTL is a solid wood soundboard designed to deliver a naturally responsive and resonant acoustic voice. The mahogany laminate back and sides complement the solid top by contributing warmth, tonal balance and controlled resonance. Together, these materials produce an articulate acoustic sound that responds particularly well to delicate fingerpicking, expressive blues phrasing and relaxed strumming. The combination of traditional construction and quality tonewoods gives the guitar a warm, musical character with excellent note separation.

Comfortable Left-Handed Short-Scale Neck

The WP-400-NTL features an Okume neck with a comfortable 630mm scale length, 43mm nut width and traditional 12th-fret body connection. This shorter scale provides a relaxed playing feel, particularly appealing to musicians who favour intricate fingerstyle arrangements or expressive blues techniques. The Black Richnite fingerboard offers a smooth, durable playing surface, while the traditional dovetail neck joint provides a solid connection between the neck and body. Combined with its dedicated left-handed configuration, these features create a comfortable and accessible acoustic playing experience.

Classic Natural Gloss Finish

The WP-400-NTL 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 distinctive slotted headstock. These classic appointments reinforce the instrument's vintage-inspired character, making it particularly appealing to musicians who appreciate the timeless appearance of early parlour acoustic guitars.

Quality Hardware & Traditional Appointments

The Westfield WP-400-NTL incorporates a selection of thoughtful appointments designed to enhance its playability and overall performance. 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, traditional slotted headstock and carefully selected decorative details combine classic acoustic styling with practical modern construction.

Ideal for Fingerstyle, Blues & Songwriting

Parlour guitars have long been favoured by musicians who appreciate an intimate, responsive acoustic sound. The WP-400-NTL is particularly well suited to left-handed players who enjoy fingerpicking, country blues, folk and singer-songwriter styles, where its focused midrange and excellent individual note definition allow subtle playing dynamics to shine through. Its compact dimensions also make it a practical choice for relaxed playing at home, songwriting sessions and smaller acoustic performances, offering plenty of musical character without the size of a traditional dreadnought.
