Westfield guitars are a Scottish based guitar brand, owned by P&R Howard (Music) Ltd.

Experts in budget guitars, they produce and sell acoustic, electric and bass guitars. The majority of their electric guitar models are based on the styles of famous brands such as the Fender Stratocaster and Gibson SG and Gibson Les Paul. Westfield bass guitars are copies of Fender bass models.

Westfield guitars were established in 1989 from the owner (and now Managing Director) Paul Howard's garage, turning over £19,000 in the first year. The company has grown to a turnover of £4.6 million in 2005 and now operates out of a warehouse in East Kilbride, Scotland.^[1] They are now the largest distributor of musical instruments in Scotland.^{[citation needed]}
