Review: A metal monster that punches way above it's weight class! - 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.
Review: Gorgeous guitar! - I've been collecting guitars for decades now and currently have about 30. I watched the YouTube reviews and read a lot of desertcart reviews, before deciding on this guitar. Wow! The finish is stunning and difficult to capture on a camera (I may supplement this review later with some video footage). The guitar arrived quickly, extremely well packaged and with zero pain flaws. I initially restrung the guitar, due to having favorite strings and checked the neck relief. The neck is dead flat and only needed very minimal relief. As hard as I tried to find a high fret or fret sprout, none of that was present. As in previous reviews I've read, there are full size pots (potentiometers) installed, good wiring, soldering joints and I didn't experience any ground noise type issues. The sound quality is really good as well. Both the stock neck are full sounding and my purchased guitar didn't have microphone pickups (yes!). The turners were actually really good. I had planned on replacing them, however, in my case it wasn't really necessary. I originally wanted to mount this guitar as a show piece in my home, where it could be esthetically enjoyed by others. Now, I know that I'll need to buy a second WestCreek CERBERUS for that purpose. I showed my girlfriend this guitar and she said, "that is my guitar, I will learn how to play it". So maybe I'll need to purchase two more of these guitars, so I'll have one to gift, one to play and one to proudly display. Honestly, this guitar is too durable to just mount on the wall like a painting, however; for the exceptional price point - this is definitely a possibility.

**Q: Is the "amber" a metallic finish (i.e., copper / bronze blend) or is it more of a solid brown / tan burst?  Hard to tell from pics...**
A: The surface of the guitar body is smooth, Amber normal naked eye appearance is glossy finish, not matte finish, with no obvious graininess.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful guitar, idiotic jack placement
*by S***B on September 23, 2023*

Having not purchased a guitar in quite a while, I wanted something to new to renew my interest in playing, as I'd fallen a bit out of love with the guitar the past few years. I've got (slightly) more expensive guitars, but when I saw this, I just had to try it out since the price was so good and it just looks so cool. I have to say ... even without saying "for the price," this is a very good guitar. Now, "for the price" it almost seems impossible, but I guess it's getting cheaper and cheaper to make these things now. Build quality is very good. There are some flaws in the finish -- nothing major, and nothing I'd return a guitar at this price over, and probably not anything I'd return a guitar for 3x the price over. It looks so much better in person (I have the silver and black model). If you've fallen in love with the look, you'll still be in love when it arrives. The pickups are ... meh, typical cheap guitar pickups, a bit microphonic, maybe a bit hotter than they can really handle. Change them out. The tuners are fine-to-good, change them if you feel like it, but i don't think it'll be necessary and I'm leaving mine for now. The one thing I'll need to have worked on is some of the frets -- the bottom edges of a few need filing, causing the high E to sometimes get caught on the fret end. Other than those couple of frets, the rest seem fine. Weight distribution is good -- I was very surprised to see zero neck dive. Knobs and pickup switch can stay for now. If there is one big glaring inexplicable flaw to this guitar ... it's the jack. Why they put it where they put, or why they didn't make it angled and recessed if they had to put it there, is beyond me. If you plan to play this guitar sitting down most of the time, make a new plan or get a different guitar. Unless you use the thinnest of angled jacks, it's going to dig right into your thigh without mercy. I wavered on whether this was a dealbreaker or not, and decided it wasn't for me "for the price." I have to believe no one at the company tried playing this sitting down while plugged in. So ... "for the price" rating is 4 stars. Ignoring for the price, maybe 3.5 stars, knocking off for the pickups, fret ends, and jack placement. Still, I keep going back to it, it is fun to play, and man, if you're into pointy "metal" guitars, this thing is just fun to even *look* at. Summary: Beautiful guitar, low price, fun to play, needs some work if you want it to be one of your faves.
