The cheaper segment guitars are OK but not THAT great, at least not for experienced players.

I've got one. Same reverse silverburst color scheme (and reverse headstock). It kicks ass. The only problem I noticed was my fretting hand was getting some odd black paint residue from handling/playing it the first time, or two. No tuning issues....intonation was really close to right on when I checked it. The pickups in mine sounded better than that one. It didn't have the flexible neck/headstock issue either. It's a keeper.

I too have purchased this guitar. It has been really good so far believe it or not. I have changed to thick gauge strings. They are 12s I believe also.

@ItFigures89 6 месяцев назад

I've got this exact guitar and I've swapped the hardware and tuners to chrome, and changed the pickups, so I can't comment to your issues regarding grounding, etc (I believe it relates to the black painted hardware not being conductive paint). But the frets and neck I received are probably the best part of the one I got and they don't seem to have the issues that yours does. I wouldn't discourage anyone from buying one of these, but we all know what we're getting into bed with when we buy a sub $250 guitar. A little tlc and an upgrade or two and you'll have a guitar that can directly compete with a Jackson KV in my opinion. Sorry you got a lemon, but the video was very informative and unbiased and I think a return on that particular example is probably the right thing to do. The longevity of that guitar with a neck like that is not promising.

@TaylorDanley 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, I didn't feel comfortable stepping up the string gauges on it. It's probably fine, but why risk it

@tjsogmc 6 месяцев назад

I've found that on these budget guitars that even though the neck is straight, the truss rod can be loose. A loose truss rod will cause a "flopy" neck. I always give the nut a twist to be sure it's seated.

@I.M.Guitar-Nerd 6 месяцев назад

I bought the Double Cut P90 from WestCreek and the frets were a nightmare! They had the same rounded ends but they were all uneven and didn't come anywhere close to the edge of the fretboard. You would get a almost right fret on the 12th and the 11th fret would be shorter and the 13th would be longer, it was like that for every single fret.

Mine took about a week to acclimate, threw some 10's on it and it shreds. After watching this I had to check my neck and headstock which are both pretty solid compared to what you got. Very strange.

@BTL400 6 месяцев назад

That guitar reminds me of my second electric guitar ever. It had a floyd rose that would not hold the strings in the saddles. The frets were not set in the neck so my high E string would get caught under them. It was a total wreck of a guitar that actually damaged my technique for soloing and riffing and that took years to overcome.

@edwinstovall3334 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for giving us the feedback from your luthier friend. Also thanks for letting us know about the headstock flexing. My opinion is that that neck was REALLY bad; no one would have been able to do anything about it. Not a big deal for my usual bolt-ons, but very bad for a set neck. I'll keep waiting.

@MikeS4628 6 месяцев назад

Just FYI, if you want to try a Harley Benton and don't want to order it from over seas, they have an official Reverb shop. The prices are basically the prices on Thomann plus shipping but there's no long wait and they have been super responsive and helpful with me. Mine had a back input jack but I had to diagnose the issue. (Draning active battery in days) They offered to replace, refund or give me money back if I take it to a tech. Since I diagnosed the problem and it was a sub $10 fix I just fixed it. They did attempt to help resolve the issue though. They were very responsive and friendly to communicate with. So that might be the way to try a HB.

On the Revenge they're stainless steel. you can tell by comparing one of your guitars with this one. they use full size pots, decent tuners and quality switches. it's also the same price. They also have conductive shielding paint.

@joeyvanostrand3655 6 месяцев назад

I have one of the Revenge Explorers. The build quality on mine is EXCELLENT! Great if not perfect fret work, the purple finish is killer, although not to my liking the neck is monsterous. It's like grabbing a bat. But it's very playable. I put a graphtec nut and string saver saddles on it. I also replaced the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan PAF JOE. The stock pickups were actually okay. I could have lived with them. I highly recommend the guitar. For less than an extra $150 it's on par with any Epiphone

@alexacojo 6 месяцев назад

I've tried some of these Westcreek guitars and they are hit or miss, depending on your luck I guess. I've ordered several of the Revenge EX model, two of the Racer (SG copy) and two of these Cerbeus V guitars. The Revenge models are awesome, they have the thickest guitar body that I've seen on an Explorer type, the necks are on the thick side (22 mm at the second fret), they have long neck tenon and medium jumbo frets. The Racer and Cerbeus guitars had to go back. They all had some level of twist on the neck, and that's definitely a big no, especially on a new guitar. One thing to add, all of these three Westcreek models, they balance very well when playing standing up, with no neck dive, even the racer SG model.

@timburgdorf4838 6 месяцев назад

I bought one of these about a month ago. i had to do a little bridge and nut work to due to the way larger gauge stings didn't sit right and kept popping off the grooves . added new Tuning keys, set intonation and let sit for a day just to see if it would stay in tune. I was highly surprised that it was just a hair out of tune. i had no blemishes, neck was solid, pickups were descent. It makes me wonder if there are some quality control issues, or batch issues. i have seen some reviews that had no issues out of the box, and some that had many issues...(maybe i got lucky that lazy Larry the luthier wasn't working that day- Larry the one lazy dude at work and there is always one)

@thomasalderman2399 6 месяцев назад

I have a Westcreek Cerebus. I was wondering why I cant keep it in tune. I blamed it on the tuners. But now I watch your video, I tried the bend trick and Damn!! I see what you are saying. It's too late for me to send back. I'll try better tuners see if it helps. It is a good guitar for the money. Yes on the grounding issue, it was the input on mine. I soldered a wire on a washer,tightened the input nut. Soldered the wire to vol. pot. Quiet as a mouse.Thanks man.

Fair review. I could live with the frets - meaning that some thin superglue and a bit of clamping could get all of them seated correctly and I'd have to do a fret level and crown job on it. Almost expected for a "cheapest guitar on ..." Low cost fix. The fact that some stores Plek their high(er) end stock shows that even big manufacturers struggle for perfect frets in their production. The grounding - and I think someone mentioned it below - may be due to the black hardware. The paint isn't conductive. I think Glen over at SpectreSound encountered that with a Harley Benton. Also easily fixable - although it may look a bit ugly after you've scratched paint off of the bridge etc - relicing? Also low cost fix. Same with nut and tuners - when you buy that cheap you are expecting to fix that as part of the upgrade process. Mid cost upgrade, but common. What I could not live with is the flexy neck - that is an unfixable problem and you are right to return it.

Man, Westcreek keeps putting out badass guitars. I'm pretty sure yours was just a dud that got through QC. I purchased the Westcreek Revenge model a year ago and its still going 100%, even with factory electronics and hardware (which is saying a lot because I'm always modding something on my guitars. This one might only get strap locks).

@plecogod 6 месяцев назад

They look like stainless steel frets to me, those are the same rounded ball end frets I got recently on two Firefly's. Fortunately none of the frets on mine were coming off the fretboard or had any fret buzz whatsoever. I find it odd that you could actually bend a maple neck, even if it was a thinner "shred neck". My guess is that the real issue is coming from a poorly cut nut. I would also take off the strings and put a towel over the frets with issues and lightly tap them a few times them with a rubber mallet. That might seat them back in place. In the end, that guitar looks pretty sick and for the price makes a great mod guitar, or at the very least would be a good budget guitar with a proper setup.

Honestly a lot of these really cheap guitars are not so bad. I generally upgrade the pickups and maybe the tuners. Generally when I upgrade the pickups it sounds and feels like a totally different guitar and it's fire. I got unlucky only one time buying a Schechter 7 string, it just constantly went out of tune the wood they used must have been the cheapest you could possibly use, and the strings would constantly need to be set up so I don't have to press so hard while playing.

the neck wood is probably young so it has lot's of moisture so it will move witch you don't want

I got a $450 Ibanez guitar a year and a half ago and the upper frets always sound terrible.

It's a brave new world. As a boomer who started playing in the 60's, there were all manner of cheapo electric guitars available for $50 or so in pawn shops. Some of the necks were so bad you could never get them intonated. Some of the bridges too were a bad joke. Setting them up so the strings weren't half a mile above the frets was an odyssey.
