For over 20 years, Westcreek Guitars® has been crafting some of the finest electric guitars available today. Our team of luthiers and musicians takes pride in building guitars that aren’t just works of art, but instruments that feel like an extension of your own body when you strap them on and plug them in.
Our Story
Westcreek Guitars® was founded in 2001 by Alex West and Greg Creek, two friends who shared a passion for guitar building and a desire to create instruments that lived up to the classics they grew up idolizing. Alex and Greg started building guitars in their garage on the weekends, slowly gaining a reputation among local musicians for quality and attention to detail.
As word spread, Alex and Greg moved their workshop out of the garage and into a small commercial space, where they began production on their first model, the Racer. Blending innovative design with vintage aesthetics, the Racer quickly gained a cult following, attracting artists who were looking for a guitar that was both road-ready and full of mojo.
Bolstered by the success of the Racer, Alex and Greg continued expanding their lineup, adding models like the hard-rocking Revenge and the versatile 333. While the company grew, Alex and Greg never lost sight of their original vision – to build guitars that inspired. Each Westcreek instrument is still meticulously crafted by hand, combining bleeding-edge technology with old-world attention to detail.
Today, Westcreek Guitars® offers a full range of guitars and basses suited for any genre or playing style. We’ve come a long way since those garage days, but we still bleed sawdust, sweat, and dedication into every guitar we produce. Our passion comes through in the tone and feel of each Westcreek instrument. We invite you to experience it for yourself. Plug in, strap on, and get ready to play!
Our Guitars
Every Westcreek Guitar® model blends cutting-edge design with vintage mojo to produce instruments ideal for the modern musician. While our guitars cover a wide range of styles and genres, a few key elements define the Westcreek experience:
Innovative Electronics
Our guitars harness the latest circuitry and electronic components to dial in tones unmatched by any production instrument. We were one of the first manufacturers to utilize powerful ceramic pickups across our lineup. These hotrod pickups deliver massive output while retaining exceptional clarity.
Many Westcreek models also incorporate advanced switching and wiring systems that allow for an incredible range of tones from a single instrument. Our Racer uses a sophisticated 5-way switching system in conjunction with a master volume and tone control that makes accessing any sound you can imagine just a flick of a switch away.
Custom Shop Quality
Each Westcreek guitar is built using techniques borrowed from high-end custom shops – but without the prohibitive price tag. Instead of automated assembly, our team meticulously hand-fits each component. Bodies and necks are hand-carved and finished in durable nitrocellulose lacquer. Fretwork is immaculately performed for silky playability.
Little luxuries like rolled fingerboard edges, hand-rubbed oil finishes on our necks, and beveled body contours make playing a Westcreek guitar feel like you’re playing a lifelong friend. All this care results in road-ready guitars endowed with mojo you simply can’t get from a mass-produced instrument.
Killer Style
Of course, it’s not just what’s under the hood that makes a Westcreek Guitar® special. We build instruments that turn heads as soon as you strap them on. Custom designed hardware, eye-popping finishes, and sleek body shapes give Westcreek guitars an unmistakable swagger.
Models like the Racer serve up muscular offset silhouettes with stripped-down attitude. The Revenge turns the visual menace up to 11, with its distinct “shark fin” headstock and vine inlay. Whether you crave understated class or brazen flash, our lineup has the look you need.
Our Most Popular Guitars
Let’s take a more in-depth look at a few of the most sought-after guitars in the Westcreek arsenal:
Racer
The guitar that started it all, the Racer remains one of our most popular models. Its offset double cutaway alder body delivers a thick, resonant tone, while the C-shaped maple neck enables ultra-fast lead work.
Three of our proprietary smoking-hot Cerberus humbuckers serve up bountiful harmonics and singing sustain. Between the powerful pickups and advanced switching system, an infinite palette of tones is at your fingertips.
Striking looks courtesy of the Racer’s metallic nitro finish and custom-machined aluminum pickguard make this guitar a true showstopper. Offered with either a 25.5″ or 24.75″ scale length, this versatile instrument covers everything from blistering rock to twangy blues.
The Racer has been the go-to axe for artists like Tyler Bryant, Jared James Nichols, and Ryan Beaver. It’s equally at home on the biggest festival stages or in small, sweaty clubs. If you crave tone, playability, and charisma, this is your guitar.
Revenge
With its distinctive “shark fin” headstock and wicked tones, the Revenge leaves no doubt as to its intentions. The Revenge was designed for aggressive players seeking the ultimate metal machine. Its mahogany body and arched maple top deliver a thick, dark sound that snarls with attitude.
Dual Cerberus humbuckers serve up the Revenge’s crushing distortion. Paired with a Floyd Rose-licensed locking tremolo, this guitar unleashes divebombs, squeals, and lightening fast riffage. Subtle touches like custom Pearloid shark fin inlays on the ebony fretboard and black hardware give the Revenge its sinister style.
Bands like Truth In Chaos and AfterLight have used the Revenge to fuel their aural assaults. If you crave cutting tone and vampiric looks, the Revenge is your perfect partner in crime.
333
For those seeking maximum tonal range from a single instrument, look no further than the 333. This sleek dual humbucker axe harnesses a 5-way pickup selector switch that provides access to seven distinct pickup configurations.
Want searing leads? Switch to the bridge humbucker. Glass clean tones? Tap the neck pickup. Or blend the two pickups to unleash that signature humbucker “chunk.” A push-pull coil tap even lets you split the humbuckers for snappy single coil tones.
With its distinctive inline 3×3 headstock and classy gold hardware, the 333 has a refined look on stage. An alder body with a thin satin finish keeps the weight down for marathon gigs. Intonation and tuning stability are rock solid thanks to the Graph Tech nut and Wilkinson tremolo.
Whether you need a versatile backup guitar or want a “desert island” axe, the 333 fits the bill. It’s the choice of pros like Chris Schweizer and Zach Myers. The 333 may be our most versatile guitar – but thanks to its great feel and dynamic range, it always sounds amazing.
The Westcreek Difference
What truly sets Westcreek Guitars® apart? Here are a few key things we think you’ll notice when you pick up one of our instruments:
Tuning Stability
Staying in tune is crucial – nothing kills a performance faster than a guitar that won’t hold its tuning. That’s why we go the extra mile, hand-fitting Graph Tech nuts on all our guitars for rock-solid tuning stability. Our tremolo systems are meticulously set up and lubricated as well. You can dive bomb and wail away without worrying about tuning issues.
Playability
Our expert luthiers ensure every Westcreek Guitar® plays like butter right out of the case. We pay attention to details like rolled fretboard edges, properly cut nut slots, and fretwork that eliminates buzz and sing. Custom neck shapes provide hours of fatigue-free playing. Go ahead and test our guitars against the competition – the Westcreek difference in feel and playability is clear.
Road Ready
Guitars built to be rock stars. We only use road-tested hardware, hand-selected tonewoods, and finishes that can withstand years of gigging.
