Mini Strat - Let's fix it and gift it!😃
Saw these on Amazon and was wondering about the quality.
@@sole__doubt the quality is great IMO. This thing plays great out of the box!
Westcreek is hit or miss, really. The only one I ordered had the dreaded lifted-frets issue where the high-E string would get caught under a fret. Seems to be a common complaint with their guitars, but luckily Amazon has a great return policy. Just make sure you check those fret ends before your return window closes.
@jrstinkfish I always do man, and that's an easy fix with a fret Hammer and some #10 super glue 👍
Checking Amazon every day for their return lol. I want one.
@@markypro57 yup me too! Hahaha love these. They are my go to. Haven't found anything out there yet under $1000 that can beat these 🤯 crazy!
@@j-man9457 if I see them before you do, I'll let you know.
I just got the Floyd Rose single PU version with the kill switch in green. It's a metal machine. Had to do basic setup and a sting change only.... it's killer!
@@DeeKays-i3j right on man! Yeah I'm impressed! 👍
I paid $4400 for my DEAN USA Dimeslime and it is worth every penny. Absolutley amazing and heavy lots of wood there.
@@bee663 Wow! That's crazy! I'll never be good enough to justify spending that much on a guitar! If I were a metal guy, this 350$ High Voltage, 6.8lbs rocker would be all I need for sure! Keep rockin' that DEAN man! Enjoy!
From chicken pickin' to metal lickin you are a prodigy & make any guitar sound great!
@@brickmeister2128 ahhh Jeezzzz man! You are way too kind! It's like the saying goes jack of all trades but master of none! Hahaha that's me, I dabble haha! Much appreciated. Keep rockin'!
My daughter, you might remember her from the contest video, would LOVE that guitar. Not my style either but she would dig that. She loves the Dean Dimebag guitars, but we can't afford those. Maybe this one at some point though. Money is tight, but this one might at least be doable at some point.
@@Hockeytown19 hey Yeah man I sure do remember you both! How have you been? Yeah man these are great guitars! Very surprised with this one. Only 349 CAD. Probably less that that in the US?! The dimebag stuff is ridiculously expensive and no where near worth the asking price. I just fixed and set up my buddy's dimebag in another video and I think the West Creek is better at a fraction of the price! 😁
@@Hockeytown19 hey Send me a quick e-mail to the address of your contest entry for the give away I did last year!
Money for Nothin' sounded tight on that, that's a wicked guitar for a decent price!
@@Nosferdamus thanks man! Yeah it's fantastic and I haven't even set it up yet! Very cool! 😎
You really rocked the💩outta that Axe mate.! I have the same exact model, but mine is purple and it’s awesome!! Westcreek is putting out some killer guitars lately and so is Firefly. When this model came out I said it was almost a replica of the Washburn “Culprit” and apparently you feel like it is as well. I could have bought a Culprit 6 yrs. ago and instead I bought 2 different Dimebag Washburn models. I grabbed the Dime V and the Dime 332EC Camo and I wish I had just bought the Culprit. My fiancé told me, at the time, that sometimes less is more and she was right. I could have bought it for $500 from Music Go Round and J-man… there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t kick myself in the arse for not listening to my friend and fiancé!! I think you should keep it and do an in-depth video on it (TRAIN). Thanks for showing us your new Ace mate and until next time…. Stay safe, Stay metal, and don’t forget to Riff.?!🔥💯🤘🏻👊🏻🎸🔥⭐️👑
@@TheGhostLad1 hahaha thanks man! Yeah this guitar is fantastic right out of the box! It's not a Tele but I like it! Keep rockin'
Nice! 🎸🤘

@stephanpeters3875 don't worry man! If something sucks, you'll know hahaha! But it has to be a performance issue, not shape or color. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean someone else won't... 😁
quess what they are no longer available ... snooze ya lose
@@shifty2327 I know. I have been waiting to get another one! Hopefully they will reappear in 2025!
If I were an electric guitarist I could not bring myself to be seen in public with that shape of guitar.To me it says "I'm trying too hard." Sounds ok though..........................
@@russellharris5072 hahaha! Try Hard! That's funny! Yup not my style either but it does what it's supposed to do, and does it well for under 400$ CAD, and straight out of the box to boot! Very impressive despite the shape!
Looks like I might be able to play That in my recliner. After all I am the Armchair Rock n Roll Warrior!😂
@@buck7477 yup! That upper rear point should rest nicely on the arm rest hahaha!
You said you paid $300 CA for your EART. Now they are $499 unless they temporarily drop the price to $399. Now they have a new model T-style guitar, the NK-T at $569 CA. There might be more differences that I can't detect other than different colours, different pickups (with no specifics given), a rosewood fretboard and solid mahogany book-matched bodies with no maple veneers. If they have the NK-T one sale for $469 maybe I will bite but $569 is starting to get up there with no guaranteed resell value. What do you think?
@@Bliggick the NK-C1 I think was 369 when I bought it with a 50$ off coupon. Then I put like 250$ into it just to get it how I liked it and the Musi came like that stock! I would not buy an EART again for what they are asking... The new Teles are over 600 after taxes here and I'm not pulling the trigger on that price for an EART. Other than color, looks like the only difference is a Toasted maple neck rather than the caramelized one that was on my NK-C1...
Too bad M Musi is not around now. I fear the same could happen to WestCreek because they are out of stock of so many of their popular models.@@j-man9457
You need to gig with one of those... LOL Just to get a reaction... Maybe dress up in some leathers as well.
@@Acreustic hahaha! I ordered some Spandex on Amazon today! 🤘
@@j-man9457 LOL - Make sure you have it all set for some CCR when you are live.. LOL.. Too Funny!
I didn`t see or hear anything wrong with that. I think you were really enjoying it. Go ahead admit it. Haaa
@@barackmycat9448 I did! And in the vid I did say if this were my style of guitar I'd definitely have one!
Would love to hear it after a good set-up. looks like an outstanding value.
@@Bruh-jt4gv hey Thanks! It's pretty darn good out of the box but could definitely use a few tweaks for sure! 😁
Holy smokes, J-Man! I'm really interested in checking out a WestCreek guitar. Not this guitar, because no one should do a review of it after THAT performance! I thought I was at a concert for a second or two. Jeez, man, why aren't you doing live shows on the tubes? Great, great, great stuff. Thanks, J!
@@TonJager haha man you are way too kind! Haven't played 80s rock since, well, the 80s lol! But I had to do the drop D stuff for the sake of this guitar lol! Thanks for the kind words... No live TH-cam shows for this guy lol!
These look killer.. They have a purple version that looks great!
@@zombiemontage yeah man... Only 2 colors available here in Canada at the moment!
@j-man9457 Heck yeah. I'd love to see how that body style looks in a deep crimson red. Nice to see Westcreek doing something different with those CNC machines other than just Strat and LP copies!
@zombiemontage yeah man 100%. All they have to do is tweak their factory set up QC and they will be a contender for the best selling Budget guitar brand out there! 😁
Great drop D playing!
@@allenmahan9393 oh thanks man I don't really play that stuff but had to try for the sake of this guitar lol! Sorry if I butchered some of that! 🤪

@@allenmahan9393 well the LP is a totally different guitar, so it should sound different for sure! This sounds nothing like any LP I've ever played! 🤘
Just checked Amazon (UK), same model only £219.

@@j-man9457 have you ever messed about with a first act 222 adam levin series HH guitar? i scored a used one for just about a hundy on marketplace... needs some love but i think i scored a gem!
Holy Moly for a ountry picker you sure can play the heavy stuff. i have a Westcreek Revenge, which is very good for the price paid. Not into this X-shape but I like the Revenge explorer shape a lot. Good initial demo - I like those pickups on this - you said they were very mid ranged but I was getting top end too. Good metal guitar if that's what someone wants on a budget. Westcreek seem pretty good to me on the whole. Cheers
@@robjones7725 hey thanks! Yeah 100% WestCreek has some very nicely priced offerings!
I'd love to have a go on the FR version of this model! 🙂
@@1revwilly yeah looks cool for sure but I prefer a good hard tail! 😉

@@jimmyz2098 hey Buddy! Always great to hear from you! 🙂 This thing, properly set up would be killer! Pretty darn good out of the box as is! All good hear man! How are things in your neck of the woods? All good? Still Rockin?
Woah there, put that guitar down until you get that Spandex, and a 80’s Hair Wig Hat💥 You Nailed it! Did you provide ear plugs for the Family?? 💥💥💪💪💪👍👍
@@guitarzan0515 hahaha! The Family was out shopping so it was time to plug in! 🤘
You get much better tone out of these if you are wearing a spandex leopard spotted body suit. The spandex interacts with the pickups somehow. Someone tried to explain it to me, it has to do with some properties of the atoms in spandex reacting with the pickup magnets or something, I'm not that great with theoretical physics.
@@stephanpeters3875 oh yeah for sure man! Mine are in the mail! The static electricity produced from the guitar rubbing on the spandex apparently produces an additional influx of electrons increasing the shielding properties by exponentially grounding the guitar which eliminates all unwanted noise leaving you with nothing but TONE! 🤘😜 LMAO! 🤣
Love everything but the olive drab colour. It's an aggressive guitar made for heavy rock. Nice picking, J! Showed off its versatility, which is surprising for a metal beast guitar. Hope your friend keeps it just so there's a part 2!
@@calbrockocat8728 I hear ya about the color, but you know it grows on ya! Although Drab, it's a head turner for sure! Yeah not bad at all out of the box! With a good set up this would be absolutely killer!

I just bought a IV Junior pro for $550 used, but never used. Its a 2019 and will use for a small pub gigging with a two and 3 piece band. No bass player, so hope it does the trick. Might need to throw an EQ on my board as well to beef it up a tad. Great video, and great playing. She takes pedals super well.
@@axemanfishing2703 cool man! Volume wise you'll have no issues whatsoever. These are loud! Yeah since there's only 1 knob an EQ pedal is a good Idea. Yes works well with pedals! Thanks!
soloing wont show up a problem. playing an actual well known tune might.
I bought a three pack of P-90 spacers of different thicknesses on Reverb and it was cheap and I ended up using them all on three different guitars and got those pickup heights just where I wanted them. I've got a Westcreek DC and it really is a gem. Purely for cosmetic reasons I put witch hat knobs with thumb bleeders on and I have on order oval white button tuners to make it look more Gibby.
@@Bliggick ahhh cool man! Yeah those spacers really improve the sound when you get that pickup in its sweet spot! 😀
cosmetic issues are common but if it pays good so what
@@bikeman1x11 because this guitar was advertised as used like new. It wasn't. And the price difference from new wasn't low enough to justify keeping it. I asked for a partial refund if I kept it, they said no so I sent it back...
@@j-man9457 even new you have to expect some issues on a 200$ guitar
@bikeman1x11 issues yes... Bad frets, cheap components, crappy tuners, poorly cut nut... Stuff you find on any guitar not just cheap ones... But chips in the paint, dents in the neck, a small chunk missing on the head stock? No... Not used like new in my definition... I have an IYV here and it's prestine. It needed set up work but the factory finish is very good. This guitar was abused by the first owner then sent back.
@@j-man9457 thats damage and defects so you were right to send back- speck under finsh etc are part of th course
Great Player.
@@malcolmbrown153 yeah man it is a great playing guitar for sure!
you know, even though the seam on the top veneer is not centered between the D and G strings, I had a Gibson Xplorer Pro from the first run with the binding, block inlays, figured top, similar specs to this, but it cost like 20x as much...and the seam in the figured top was not centered either! I couldn't afford to keep that guitar, but if things aren't gonna be 100% precise, I'd rather only pay $200 for it instead of $3500.
@@JamesJLaRue yeah man 100%
The tech info is much appreciated. The biggest take-away for me is your using it as a country axe; whereas I'm a David Gilmour player and wonder if this Eart qualifies. But then you let some blues and rock emanate from it, and we'll, it qualifies for everything. I recently sold a Strandberg Boden ($1,745+tx). I saw this Eart for $300 used but perfect... purple...and it was like...$300?! No brainer! Great review, Dude! Wish I was as good as you. Peace, Bro'.

Oh cool, I got a 2nd hand guitar that has an out of phase 2nd position. It's good to know all I have to do is swap the wires on the bridge pickup to fix it.
@@AtacamaHumanoid well actually not all Bridge pups will work when swapping the wires. This one did, but if not, you simply swap the neck pup wires and you should be good.
I just installed the Gotoh saddles on my Squire Classic Vibe 50's tele. I got them from Amazon Canada. They didn't come in a package like yours, but in a clear plastic bag with a sticker on them. I put them on, got the intonation almost perfect. But my problem is, they are wider then the oem barrels that came on the guitar, and it has pushed the low E string almost out to the edge of the fretboard. I'm either going to have to file them down to the same width as the stock ones, or put the stock ones back on. Your thoughts?
@@NLRider-i1m is the low E string more inward? If so just crack loose the neck mounting screws a bit and you may be able to align your neck by pulling it towards the base side slightly and re-tightening the screws. Also, make sure the saddles are practically touching each other. If not loosen the E & B strings and push the saddle inward and re-tune. These are notched and should be spaced for a typical ashtray bridge. Wondering if you got a knock off set or if bridge or neck alignment are just a little off 🤔
@@j-man9457 The next bridge alignment could be off a bit, but didn't notice it with the stock saddles. The stock saddles are 20.5mm. The "gotoh" saddles are 21.5 mm. There is another Gotoh set on Amazon in the proper packaging with a width listed at 20.5mm. I'm sending back my first set and ordering the other set.
@gregrose6915 ahhh yup that would do it! Let me know how it goes! 🙂
