20:57 Final Thoughts & Recommendation
Man listen.. I have watched a bunch of reviews on this guitar, and YOU are the only one to actually hit on all of the important areas. I really appreciate you, and the way you touched on the types of things a guitar player actually cares about. Great review, great editing, great sound. Thanks man, I'm ordering one right now.
I have the green model and it plays sooo good. I usually play Jackson but I bought one of these out of curiosity and I have not been disappointed, I've gigged with it and it performed great. This is a well made guitar and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a solid guitar.
Got mine today. Wow, I've been getting ripped off all this time. I just returned a Charvel DK24 because it just wouldn't hold tune. I played the hell out of the Revenge bending the strings to the limit and it held tune very well, considering it has new strings I was impressed. I lowered the action a bit and it's great, no dead frets nothing. I couldn't find one thing wrong with it. And I've always wanted a Destroyer type axe. This thing has already inspired my playing.
For $220. The DK24 cost me $700 used...
I was finally able to order a black one. I contacted the company and asked them to make some more and they did! They contacted me when they were ready and had 4 in stock. I’m glad I ordered one that night because they were sold out the next morning. So pumped for this. I’ve always wanted an explorer type guitar but never wanted to pay the price for the name on the headstock for the ones that are available. So happy with this purchase!
Retro consoles, WoW, and guitars - does the algorithm fucking know me or what?
I got a Revenge yesterday, sounds great but got a few dings in the finish during shipping (I assume). Messaged support and they offered me some of my money back 🤝 guitar still sounds great and it's an even better value!
Great review Jake!! My buddy and I have been looking at this very guitar on Amazon for about a month since he found it just haven't pulled the plug yet. Love the color too. Now that i have seen it outside of the add.Appreciate your honest review. And I'm sure one of us will be purchasing as soon as possible. keep up the excellent work. I just subscribed keep on rock'n brother.!!
Great review, Jake. I'd like to try one of those to see how it works in my situation. The lower bout looks like it has enough room to stay clear of my wheel.
Thanks, man. John...
U just convinced me to buy one dude! Killer playing and video review 🤙🏼
Great video. Thanks for going in depth on this guitar. Like you and probably everyone watching, I saw this guitar on Amazon and saw the price and was very apprehensive, but I think I’m going to buy one after seeing this review.
I checked out the other models and the "V" looks really cool. Who cares about the brand? I don't and never did.
I've heard some good things about the v
Very in-depth analysis. It does sound awesome
Great review!! Thank you very much.
Jake, I really enjoyed your video reviewing this beautiful, West Creek Revenge guitar. The Cerebrus V looks really cool too. I'm gonna pick up the green Revenge soon. God bless you Big Jake!🎸♥️🤘🙂👍
Excellent review!
Great stuff Big Jake, My first time around and that's the best review of a guitar I believe I've seen to date. By far the best demonstration on the pickup along with volume and tone adjustment ever. 2 Thumbs up and a subscribe. :)
Wow pardner, what another an excellent find 😎👍! You're doing well grasshopper 😊!
Very good, honest, and comprehensive review of an axe for those on an extremely tight budget, and it is truly best bang for the buck! I just got mine, and aside from a much needed truss rod adjustment, action and intonation setup, it's a real nice, great looking axe! But, I will change the pickups on mine because I don't really like the stock ones.
i have the red and green explorer and recently got an amber v.I upgraded a few things.a capacitor upgrade really brings these to life
You made a good review video, and I looked and they also have a Flying V that I might try for the same price. Trying to decide on the Amber or the Silver as the finish is also on the neck.
great demo brother. been looking at this exact explorer copy for my grandson. i want to hip you to a guitar i just bought the sawtooth 12 string electric acoustic!!!! frigging wow. i received this beauty on their half off sale 3 months ago. it took me 13 days to get it, it took that long because they put a full set up on it. when received it was 1/2 step low top e string and a fraction flat on the g string. after tuning up I have played this almost every day for three months and have tuned it twice!! the intonation on this beauty is amazing. I know you're a metal head but brother nothing is more beauty full than an electric 12. I've own a 1975 12 string guild, seagull Gibson and a Washburn and actually once on a drug induced coma bought a bought a Taylor (junk) sorry the truth hurts. this instrument market is so great right now these cheap low-end guitars I've been purchasing have been really good for the price point. i challenge you to demo the sawtooth 12 electric they are phenomenal. love your channel. I'm 65 and there is nothing ever going to beat rock and roll baby. rap is a fad, but rock is legend. love your playing keep going sum day maybe the rock gods find favor with the soul you have in the fingers brother.
Big Jake, you have a cool demeanor great advice, cool voice and great guitar skills, enjoyed your playing rock on !!
Thanks Jake!
im a new sub and will share this site with all my axe loving buds.
that thing looks pretty sick!
Very cool after seeing this vid the other day i sent it to my dad he's been wanting to get into playing anyway after he watched this vid he ordered himself one 2 days ago I told him I plan on getting one he ordered me one 5 mins later then yesterday they aren't currently available but I'll be getting mine tomorrow I have had way higher end guitars but this looks nice for the price nice solid modder platform I'll probably change tuners and pickups but yeah great bid man
Small part, but easily skimped on, I was very impressed with the 3 position switch on mine. It's solid like a Switchcraft.
i might have to get me one of these.
I bought the lite blue one , the westcreek DC one and I love it, my band plays classic rock music, I use it sometimes on certain songs, the guitar sounds awesome though my 2 Mesa Boogie’s running stereo, and all I had to do on the guitar setup was to adjust the thrust rod it’s a cool little guitar!
I use my 61 Reissue SG , EVH WolfGang , my other SG with P90 pickups and my Custom Shop Jeff Beck Stratocaster! And I still will grab that Westcreek DC for certain songs!
The shielding paint should be conductive not anti conductive. Great review and playing !
Insane value, solid guitar. I bought a JS32 RR with trem recently but this looks like a better buy for a beginner like me. Personally, I don't mind the brandname and headstock logo either.
Great video man! Wish Amazon still had these.
They still do. They have every color in stock
They're in stock right now with a $20 in off coupon!
I had one on order and got cold feet. Big time regretting it. Hopefully they will make more and will back in stock.
The Leo Jaymz KITS are awesome. No name on the headstock that you can cut yourself. Dope. Try one. I bought the $109 Tele with 2 point trem and humbuckers, and it rocks. Got Nuno to sign it, too! OH and BTW, your comment about the Nickel allergy explains why my hands break out after playing for too long!! holy shit !!
That yellow ml is killer
Thanks. 🤘🎶
😎 cool! I'll have to check um out!
Very cool looking guitar. Very cool. But what is that fretboard made of? Does not look like Rosewood
HELL YEAH PEAVEY ! \m/ \m/ That guitar is awesome also...cool video...
I bought a green one for $219. I suggest anyone who is interested should not hesitate. Buy one. They're excellent guitars. You will not find a better one for that price. I was most impressed by two things: the sound and the frets.
I just got the Green one about 2 weeks ago. It's well worth the money!
But I did change out the God-awful strings for GHS Boomers, Had to adjust the intonation, lower the action, and raise the pickups, I did put different knobs on it. I also added strap Locks but changed to location of the front one to the position of where it would be on most guitars.
Over time I will put better tuning machines on it and probably the bridge. The D string did not intonate fully and ran out of room to go forward anymore. But it is close.
Did Not have to adjust the truss rod and there were no buzzing frets so that was good.
Amazing guitar for Metal! Just be prepared to give it a set up on it right off the bat.
try flipping the saddle around.
@@rvk8991 Great Idea! Thanks!
I just picked up the purple one and I have a feeling the price is gonna shoot up on these things one day
I have the little Peavey Rage , great amp. I have never played a 14 inch radius, how is it compared to a 12 and a 9.5? My Epiphone 12 inch has a horrible flat backed bolt on neck. I broke my shoulder and the nerves in my hand go numb, I have a Tele 50s. Neck U shape 7.25, a Silvertone Strat 9.5 C neck and the Epi and a 12 string acoustic DR-212, that it has a flat back 12inch radius.
Nuts not bone but mine came basically unplayable but me and my dad set it up. Shaved down some frets because the action was screwd but we put in a demarzio de activator and now its a beast along with pro steel strings we slapped on
Also recommend buying new tuners
Can anyone suggest drop-in locking tuners for the Revenge?
I might buy it as a side project to tinker with. I have a set of PRS Tremonti pickups, CTS pots, a few orange drop caps, and a switch craft hand wired switch sitting around looking for a home. The parts would be 2.5x the price of the guitar, so maybe not the best idea. Then again, they are worth much just sitting in my drawer. We'll see.
I purchased the red version of this guitar when they first hit Amazon. My bridge also says Epi*****.
My pickups are just like the ones on my Epiphone Les Paul... PAF Humbuckers (Chrome).
My factory volume knob goes from 0 to 10 at about half a turn... so I have replaced the pots.
Bone nut: yes
The action on mine is a tad higher than I'd like it to be.
The sustain on mine is pretty darn good for a China made guitar.
My review is there along with pics so you can see what mine looks like.
I plan to get Westcreek's green version next.
Is this guitar worth the money? Yes
When you mention body pieces in te electronic cavity. You actually refer to toolmarks from router bit as it was routing the hole. It goes level by level in like 2cm layers deeper and deeper. Bodies arent usually pieces of wood laminated on eachother in multiple layers (except for top). Multi piece body means multiple 4cm pieces glued by sides to cover area big enough for body to fit in. There exist guitars where body is laminated the way you described but it is absolute minority and was done mostly in the past not nowadays.
I want one but not available in ireland.
my next guitar. just got a RACER
Is it like a POS Firefly or better?
How does the neck shape/size feel? Is it smooth or slightly sticky?
Check out the racing model by West Creek
Sounds fine looks great !
It also says that it's got stainless steel frets. Is that true?
Got one, they are well worth 200 bucks, It plays as smooth as my ML from dean no joke.
It plays just like my ibanez gio from the 90's so it's not bad.
want to buy that guitar,but problem i cant find it here in china
You have to admit their model names aren't that bad. Nice bang for the buck axes that's for sure :)
What Gamecube games are you playing?
The headstock logo would look much better if it was in-line and not angled. That kinda disturbes the asthetics.
Currently unavailable on Amazon, must be selling more of them for some reason 😊
I tried one had to send it back. tuners were skipping. garbage hope you have better luck than I did. It also fret buzzed unreal.
ty. new sub here. Much appreciated
im super on board with being really picky about all asthetics of a new guitar. font and name for me, are kind of paramount in a really lame way. if the fonts off, nah. if they name is kinda weak, nah. but, this guitars build quality seems like solid platform to upgrade on with serious pickups, and locking tuners.
Ok, I just bought one. Used your affiliate link. God damn, I have like 25 electric guitars now and I'm not even in a band.
Could you please let me know when the time comes when this cool guitar is back on the market 👍
They are!
Where can I buy one?.Still unavailable from amazon 🤔
@StringsandsoStuff where can I buy one. It's still unavailable on amazon
@@TJM8892 where are you located? I am in Washington State and am able to purchase the white, red, green, and purple..
I'm in Dublin Ireland
Oh boy, if my 15 year old guitar playing grandson sees this video...I may be buying a new guitar real soon!
One question. Did the USPS deliver it? They handle a lot of Amazon's products. If so, I'll have to pass due to my history with them.
I had already purchased the same model and concur with most of what you dwelt on, however, those are low and miniscule frets, and no guitar that is supposed to be good for any kind of rock or HR or blues should have those.
Full size pots in those guitars
Amazon is out of stock......
NO LEFTYS. Very annoying.
It’s a lot less unattractive than the ESP-LTD Explorer copy.
As of today they are not available on Amazon. Just checked.
