Out of the box it looked flawless, tuned it up and it's damn near perfectly intonated. Has pretty decent sound as is but I do plan on having EMG HZH4 pickups installed. Not a lot of room in the cavity so I'm going the passive route. Looks like it came with D'addario strings since the ball ends are color coded. I'm impressed over all for a guitar in the $220 range. Very solid body, great weight to it. Love that it's not a bolt on neck. Fretboard and Frets feel great too.Really reminds me of the camo hetfield snakebyte so I call this my Fakebyte lol 😆

If you want an explorer style under 400 then this is an excellent option. Nothing was wrong with this instrument out of the box. Tuned down for shipping, set the strings to standard and hooked it up to a Fender super champ 2 (with warehouse veteran 20 watt) to try out some different voicings etc.The neck is natural/dry I’d say. Pretty standard neck pick up at this level. The bridge pickup is “heavy metal” a bit hot which makes the middle position quite useful. Bridge is excellent for chording and soloing. I was planning to have some SD invaders installed but there’s no rush on that from my ears.It’s a gain master but also decent clean. I got this to riff with gain and it will do that in spades. I also like that the sound and feel is quite different from my other metal makers, a Dunable Asteroid DE and Schecter Riggs FRS Ultra.In terms of value, I also have an IYV 300 (green LP) and an older Epi special I in tv yellow.All 3 are great values, the wood of the IYV is quite good but I replaced pickups and all hardware on that plus a pro setup. Now it rocks.This is a better “rocker” out of the box and it is set up quite nicely.The epi is basswood, looks great, amazing rosewood fretboard, and very underrated stock pickups (700T/650R).All 3 are great $200 guitars and obviously my faves but for the Revenge - it’s quite nice, rocks well, decent hardware, unique neck feel. Pretty chunky - more gibby style than Ibanez.Packed well. No blemishes.Update: With G.C. offering a free install promo I did put in some white SD Invaders. Stock p.u.s definitely based on these. Look at the huge magnets. I’d say they capture about 80% of the invaders but invader neck more paf like and bridge more articulate. I also added an Eyemaster pedal. Wow what a great combo.Invaders add perhaps some clarity but require an amp treble boost to “breathe”.Stocks actually more balanced in middle position. I like them so much I’m thinking of getting a warlock body to put them in.To conclude: with the invaders some custom knobs and an eyemaster pedal going into a superchamp with gain at 10 voiced with mesa boogie (my fave by far with the eye master) or Vox 30 or Marshall this thing can sound pro ready. I Ike the tuners and bridge enough to leave alone.

Reçu en début d'après midi, j'ai joué dessus pendant 6h environ dans la journée pour formuler un avis.Première chose faite en la recevant (juste après avoir testé sur ampli si elle fonctionnait correctement) :- Changement de cordes- Un coup d'huile sur la touche (elle était très très sèche)Ensuite c'est parti, la guitare est très belle (la couleur est un peu plus sombre que sur les photos du site) et très équilibrée (la tête du manche ne plonge pas dès qu'on le lâche).Le manche est très confortable, les micros sont plus que corrects (mais manquent un peu de puissance et de caractère) par contre arrive rapidement le premier défaut : Les mécaniques. C'est un peu dommage au vu de la qualité du reste de la guitare mais il sera obligatoire de les changer dans le future, on peut tourner un quart de tour avant d'entendre une différence au niveau de l'accordage.Mais bon, un jeu de mécaniques correct est aux alentours de 50€, ce qui en fait toujours une guitare à moins de 300€, et pour posséder plusieurs guitare de cette gamme de prix, celle ci est largement au dessus.Je la mettrais au même niveau que ma LTD Viper qui coute deux fois le prix de cette Westcreek.A ne peut être pas conseiller à quelqu'un qui voudrait apprendre la guitare, mais plutôt à quelqu'un qui cherche une deuxième guitare avec un style plutôt sympa.

Ich war anfäglich skeptisch das eine Gitarre in diesem Preisbereich etwas taugt und dachte was solls als Dekoration passt es doch ich war echt angenehm überrascht .Diese Gitarre war schon optimal eingestellt und sie lässt sich super spielen .Die Gitarrenseiten sind allerdings klanglich nicht die besten die habe ich durch Seiten von Daddario ersetzt und diese Gitarre ist klanglich und von der Bedienbarkeit klasse.Die Verarbeitung ist gut das Preisleistungsverhältnis stimmt

Llevo un mes usando la guitarra y puedo decir que no he quedado decepcionado. Muy cómoda de tocar. Solo tuve ligeros problemas de afinación los primeros días pero me imagino que por lo nuevo de las cuerdas, fuera de eso no he tenido ningún problema. El diseño me gustó mucho, es un poco más pequeña que una ESP Explorer pero igual de bonita. Súper recomendada.

Thanks westcreek for this absolutely cracking guitar. Nothing bad to say about it. Got the purple lizard revenge, looks, sounds and plays amazing. Didn't change strings got a bit of black of them but soon came off as have been playing it loads. Chunky neck which I love, pickups sound great to me ime no expert but they sound very pleasing to my ears whatever I throw at them. Switches are all good quality no cutting out or muffling at all.Very low action and great setup straight out of the box. Thanks kindly

Out of the box, all I had to do was change strings, tune up and the guitar played great, it really did. The strings it comes with were terrible and dirty. Once I took them off, I wiped down the fretboard, cleaned the neck a little bit etc. Put the new set of strings on and was good to go.I was expecting to have to do a little home-guitar-set up or if it was really rough, a pro set up. But I did not have some of the experiences others buying this guitar have had. YMMV. Maybe I got lucky, maybe the company is doing a better job recently. I did not have to adjust the bridge/action. I did not have to adjust pickups. There were no intonation problems. Volume and tone pots were clean and worked well. Frets are great. No issues with the nut. I even went up a gauge in strings (9-46) and the channels in the nut were still just fine.I really put this guitar through its paces the first weekend I had it with a long jam session. In my rig, at volume and compared to my other primary guitars; this guitar is going to need a new pickup (s) So that's what I did. I already ordered a new bridge pickup for 100 bucks. Even after installation, I am only going to be into this guitar for about $300 bucks. CAN"T BEAT IT IMO. I could have bought a p/u set for 200 but since that would double the cost of the guitar and I hardly ever use the neck p/u anyways, I went bridge only.I had my eye on this guitar because it looks sick! and the Price was an eye opener and an eye-brow raiser at the same time. I read all of the reviews here; did some further research and kept watching it. Finally pulled the trigger on Amazon Prime day when there was a coupon available. That made the price under 200.I would say this is a great beginner guitar; or a great secondary guitar if you are an intermediate player. Especially vs paying several hundred dollars to over 1000 dollars for even an Epiphone Explorer. And you can't find Ibanez Destroyers hardly at all.
