WestCreek CERBERUS Solid Body Elektrische gitaar, V heavy metal Electric Guitar, mahonie body, afgeronde uiteinde frets, bone noot, palissander fretbord, rechterhand (CB-2 Oranje)

This is my third west creek guitar and it is wonderful, just like my Racer and my 333. It had a little fret buzz but adjusting the truss rod fixed that. The frets are amazing with ball ends, no sharp edges whatsoever. I have guitars that cost much more with frets that weren’t this nice. If you aren’t a brand snob, you will love West Creek guitars.

Incredible deal! At $219, with the $40 off coupon, this guitar outplays some of my much more expensive LTD, Jackson, and Dean guitars. I really like the shape of this V and the reverse headstock looks killer. The reverse silverburst paint looks great and the paint lines are clean around the binding and headstock and the rosewood fretboard is very dark and well polished. It does indeed have a bone nut, they just painted it black, you can see the white of the bone coming through at the corners and the nut slots on my copy are cut perfect. The frets do appear to be stainless steel, comparing them to my nickel fretted guitars, and are nicely polished and level with no buzzing or dead notes. I recommend changing the strings immediately, as the ones that come on the guitar(9-42) are not very good and will leave black on your fingers, I put Dunlop heavy cores on mine(10-48) and they are much better for this 24.75 scale length. The stock pickups sound ok, but I relaced the bridge one with a Seymour Duncan Nazgul, much better with crushing tone, I plan on putting a Sentient in the neck position. The bridge and tailpiece are of decent quality and the tuners are actually really good, so no upgrade needed. The guitar is light, at about 6lbs even, and it balances pretty well with no neck dive. As others have noted, the jack is on the inside of the lower fin, I play standing up so it doesn't bother me, but it could be uncomfortable sitting down without a 90 degree cable. I will also add, that I didn't have the grounding issues or microphonic pickups on my copy, the wiring was good. These guitars are great for beginners that want to learn guitar without breaking the bank, or experienced players that may want to upgrade the pickups and still come out way ahead budget wise.I thought I would add a review for the Cerberus CB-3, since I got it right after I wrote the review for the silver one. To start off, it looks amazing, the pictures I took don't do it justice! The red they used for the fade is a deep candy apple red metallic and looks exactly like the promo picks, in hand.The CB-3 differs from the original Cerberus in the following ways: it comes with a genuine Floyd Rose Special with locking nut, it has 24 frets, the neck is a 25.5" scale length, and it weighs a bit more at closer to 7 lbs. The neck appears to be similar thickness and shape to the hardtail version and the bridge pickup sounds a bit better than the one that came with the silver version. Both guitars needed to have a slight truss rod adjustment, as the necks had too little relief, easily fixed by loosening the truss rod a half turn.The CB-3 came set up with .10-.46 strings and played very well once the truss rod was adjusted. The action was set at 1.75mm on the bass side and 1.5mm on the treble from the factory. They decided to mount the Floyd slightly above the body instead of recessing it into the cavity, because of this the neck has a slight angle to the body as compared alot of other guitars with Floyds where the neck is parallel to the top of the body. Mounting the Floyd in this way doesn't seem to affect playability, but I thought I would mention it. The Floyd stays in tune once the strings and the tension springs are broken in. On the back the CB-3 has the same control cavity as the silver one and the plate for the Floyd is not recessed into the body, but it does have slots the plate for adjusting the spring tension.Overall, this is another great release from Westcreek. The CB-3 looks and plays like a much more expensive guitar and feels solid, a really awesome value. I ebonized the fretboard with stain and I got a Floyd Rose hardware upgrade kit with the red anodized stainless steel screws, locks, and retainers. I plan on upgrading the pickups later to Seymour Duncan, though the stock ones don't sound bad.

Fantastic

I took a chance on this WestCreek Cerberus CB-2 and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be. The guitar looks incredible; build quality highlights attention to detail with an outstanding fit and finish. A quick tuning of the strings and it plays like a dream for such a reasonably priced guitar. Low action, easy to fret and nothing buzzing (fretting out) where it shouldn't be. The electronics work just fine with little-to-no additional noise added. Also the guitar is really light-weight. I would say lighter than an SG for sure. While situated on myself with a strap I noticed the guitar doesn't suffer from neck-dive at all, it is well balanced and very comfortable to "wear" due to it's lowered weight. Moving around while playing and/or performing stage theatrics with this guitar is effortless due to its reduced bulk and smaller size. All around this is a great guitar for a reasonably decent price and worth your time to look into if you enjoy the "V" styling. The only change I would recommend right off the bat is to restring this beauty with your preferred choice of strings. The strings that came on the guitar left my hand dirty. And not in a good way.
