Full Hollow "Aruba Crest"

The Westville "Aruba" is a model we designed in tribute to the legendary jazz guitarist Jim Hall. The guitar was inspired by the work and legacy of the master luthier James L. D'Aquisto.

It really captures the feel and sound of the traditional jazz "box" combined with that special Westville spirit which all our instruments posses. 

The guitar is equipped with a figured Hard Maple/Spruce laminate top, figured Hard Maple laminate back, and figured solid Hard Maple sides.

It also features a one-piece hard maple neck with an ebony fingerboard. It also features a one-piece hard maple neck with an ebony fingerboard. Its shape is a "C" foundation with a slight "V" profile and has the perfect thickness which feels very comfortable from the first touch.

The neck's playability is perfectly even from the 1st to the 20th fret which really gives the player an immense advantage for creative exploration and fully usable range of the whole instrument. 

We highly recommend the Westville "Aruba" for those players who are rooted in the traditional jazz guitar sound of the great vintage instruments but also demand the highest grade of comfort, playability, and beautiful/modern design.

The "Aruba Crest" model features the same specifications and construction as our main "Aruba" models but it is equipped with our signature "Westville Crest" pickup which is our take on the Charlie Christian type guitar pickups.

"It has open yet fat sound and microphonic property. And the fact that the sound quality is inspired by the vintage single coil’s like the CC, the DeArmond Dynasonic and DeArmond 1100." - Jesse van Ruller -
