Wildwoodians, we’re proud to present the Rickenbacker 480XC, a limited edition guitar released for Rickenbacker’s 90th Anniversary that has some of the most mouthwatering flavors of Rick tone ever to waft from the Wildwood Tone Kitchen. It’s also a tribute to one of the criminally underrated guitars from Rickenbacker’s back catalog, as they only made the original 480s from 1973 to 1984. Taking its design cues from the classic 4000 bass, the 480 cuts a sharp profile sure to turn heads before you even plug in!

Although neck-through construction gives the 480XC immense sustain and resonance, the overwound hot toaster pickups are the secret to the 480XC’s sauce. By overwinding them, the tone wizards at Rickenbacker have achieved something far greater than more output. Hot toasters just have more of everything: more midrange growl and bite, more overtones, more sizzle, more low-end, and more sparkle.

Check the 480XC along with our other slick Ricks on our Rickenbacker page!

In the pantheon of all the stank faces ever made while evaluating guitars at Wildwood, the ones our resident guitar evaluator made while playing this guitar are among the worst/best. It’s appropriate that it’s a black Strat, too, because it definitely fits the David Gilmour mold of Strats: bright but with nary an icepick in sight, vocal, and downright snarly. The lows are beefy, the highs are sizzling with tons of harmonic content, and the mids have The Quack.

All in all, this Strat is a monster. If you’re looking for a vintage-spec Strat at a player-friendly price, we have no doubt it will make you stank face like you’ve never stank faced before! Check it out along with our other awesome pre-owned pieces on our Used Guitars page.

In this week’s #TBT, we’re revisiting an interview between Paul Reed Smith & David Grissom. These two legends stopped by Wildwood Guitars all the way back in 2011 to have a chat and share some riffs. This is part 1 of a 4 part interview on our channel. Enjoy!
