Westone Prestige 250
- Mahogany body capped with Tiger Flame Maple (Including headstock),
- 3-ply mahogany set neck (Heelless),
- ebony fingerboard. The body, neck and headstock are all bound.
- Twin humbuckers with independent volume and Westones own (And as far as I know unique) PEQ tone controls. (Wind it down from the center detent and it's a normal tone control giving apparent bass boost by filtering out the treble so winding it up from center gives a sound like variable coil tap)
There are two (Possibly 3) versions -
Version 1 (1982-3)
Early models have a script logo on the headstock. Available in Sunrise Sunburst and Antique Cremona

Version 2 (1983-4)
'Bird' W logo on the headstock, different lettering style on the truss rod cover. Available in Antique Brown Sunburst or Antique Cremona
Produced from 1982 until 1983/4 (Appears in the 1982/3 and 1983 catalogues but not in the 1984 catalogue or August 1984 pricelist), this model may have been reissued in 1986 (Until 1988) as the Prestige II
