WestCreek GuitarsHIGH VOLTAGE（HV）Heavy Metal Solid Body Electric Guitar (Purple)

The media could not be loaded. Picked this up for fun, thinking I might want to upgrade it as a hobby and maybe paint it at some point. It showed up pretty quickly and was boxed well, no problems there.Out of the box? It was a LOT better than I expected for a $240 guitar. Paint looked great (Matte Green), no blemishes, scratches or dings.The real surprise was when I plugged it in. I tuned it to Drop D and it sounded great! It played great, no problems with the frets, no buzzing, etc. Knobs worked fine, pickups sounded good, I guess I played it for about an hour and was still kind of getting my head around this was a $200-ish guitar. I have $700 - $1200 guitars I was never able to get dialed in and finally settled on an ESP LTD Black Metal Explorer that I play daily. This Westcreek sounds almost as good.If I had one gripe it would be the tuners, but for a hard tail the 1st thing I do is install some locking tuners so not a huge deal and honestly I'm not going to ding this guitar for basic tuners when I really like everything else about it.I included a vid, not the best quality but hopefully it will give you an idea of how the guitar plays / sounds (though I play Tech Metal so your milage may vary)I play thought a Headrush MX-5 plugged into a Headrush FRFR flat monitor.

Been fiddling with my new axe for a few days and I like it so far. First guitar owned from Westcreek and simply impressed with the quality of a $200 guitarLook-the looks on this thing could kill. It gives me Dimebag Razor vibes except without a floating bridge which I personally dislike. Hard tail all the way for me. The paint job is solid, I have yet to see any imperfections on the paint job.Feel - Feels solid and of good quality. Bit of a neck dive if anyone is worried about that. They do include a high quality leather strap (which is a nice touch). Frets feel good and no noticeable sharp ends. Neck looks and measures flat and I have yet to encounter any string buzz.Sound - Sound is very good. Impressed with the stock hot rail humbuckers. Typically this is the first place I do an upgrade but I think I’ll hold onto these. Decent amount of sustain with the stock strings which are D'Addario btw, I believe they are .10-.46, sounds good with drop C.Overall - 10/10 value for the price. Very impressed with Westcreek guitars and plan on doing more business with them down the road.I have since slapped on my D'Addario EXL157 strings (.14-.68) meant for baritone but I’ve had good results on standard length guitars. I may even activize this guitar with a 9-Volt, it’ll be a certified Metal Screamer at that point. I’ll post updates as I have them.

Pro's: The guitar shipped quickly, was not damaged and came with a strap, setup pamphlet, 1/4" guitar cable, and some basic allen /hex tools. The finish was perfect, no neck issues. IE has some neck relief and the overall setup was decent. I purchased the hard-tail version as its easier to maintain. The fret work is fantastic and the inlays were perfect. Light weight guitar and seems decently balanced. Has a great tone and no odd micro phonic feedback. The pickups seem to be higher output and have good tone / sustain. Event the cleans are decent.Cons:The factory tuning machines (tuners) are absolute garbage! I swapped those out as the guitar would not hold any tuning. The factory tuners would clunk and immediately go way out of tune. I replaced with Guyker locking tuners and they work flawlessly. The fretboard and original strings will leave your hands black so a good wipe down with some fretboard cleaner / polish will take care of that as well as better strings. The 4 stars are for the tuning machines and inability to stay in tune out of the box.If you have the means to swap the tuning machines out and do a basic setup (hard-tail is easy) then this is a fantastic guitar! Well worth the money and once setup properly is a player for sure! I think the matte finish is really cool and it has a great appearance and can pull of clean tones / Blues / to drop tuned Metal. I may take this to a gig later this year if it proves to be a workhorse. For now its a great studio work guitar or practice guitar.

I've been looking forever for a purple guitar. Jackpot! This thing is supreme! Superb! I'm so happy with this purchase. I was worried the color would be like Lavender, but it's a nice matte purple, just as advertised. Its not too heavy. Sounds beautiful. $210 is an amazing price. This is not a cheap-o guitar, this baby feels like it costs $600 lol. I'm looking forward to doing more purchases. WestCreek makes some beautiful instruments!

like the body style the matte look gives it own finish look like the matching head stock also picked up the purple high voltage also for a matching pair has the westcreek sound quality build for the price.

Nice design and price but looks to cheap made.I love West Creek guitars but this one I don't

A student of mine purchased this guitar. And to my surprise it was not playable. The nut is too short, too close to the fret board. And to be able to play anything, the bridge had to be raised super high. The neck was straight, the tuning keys are great , electronics are good. The nut being too small was the only issue I found with it. Going to have to return it.

Saweeeeeeet!!!
