He performed with this new Westville guitar for the first time in Amsterdam and Rotterdam a few weeks ago.

Looks like he was just talking to Mary Jane?

Lage's picture is from the Westville page. The Prospect looks similar to the Grande though will be a thinline. Lage has the prototype but changed the pickup to a Gibson 57 Classic. Not sure when the production model will be available.

Interesting that a Schottmueller is still cheaper than the comparable westville guitar...

Interesting that a Schottmueller is still cheaper than the comparable westville guitar...

And a million times cooler.

Speaking of cool: when I saw this photo, from Tokyo, of a Westville in the good company of an AI Clarus, a TOOB12J (by Yours Truly) and an incredible vinyl collection, GAS struck like a bolt out of the blue. I wrote to the owner: "Your guitar is no doubt a future classic." Just could not resist sharing the photo. Must resist the GAS, however. Else: here we go again... feeling I'm falling... too close for comfort... wouldn't you...

Ive always wondered about their prices, but could never find them.
How much is the Little Leona?
The Westville guitar has me interested.

The thing is - acquiring a Schottmüller is not a simple "drag guitar into basket" - in my case I had several lenghty conversations with Mr. Schottmüller via phone. After he is convinced that you really, really want the guitar you are then added to a wait list - which is rather full. Current wait time for a little leona is about a year. Oh, and you *have* to pick them up in person, he doesn't ship.

This is the one time I have been lucky regarding gear and living in the EU.
