Wildwoodians, what do you all think is the best Thin Lizzy song about the boys being back in town? The staff consensus is that it’s The Boys Are Back in town, but we’re open to other suggestions—sound off in the comments with your takes on this incredibly important questions. However, one thing we’re sure about is that any Thin Lizzy riff would sound fantastic on this iconic ultra lightly-aged Murphy Lab 1964 SG in Pelham Blue. In fact, you be hard-pressed to find any riff or lick that wouldn’t be translated into rock and roll glory through the Custombuckers on this blue beauty. Check out our Murphy Lab page to see more of this guitar and many more marvelous Murphy Lab creations. If you have any questions about the Murphy Lab, or if you just want to know our thoughts on what the best Thin Lizzy song about breaking out of a jail is, give us a call and we’ll be happy to answer any questions and make a strong, logical argument for Jailbreak.
Wildwoodians, when looking at this beautiful Wildwood 10 Strat with serious Red Hot Chili Peppers vibes, I was struck by the most profound thought ever to cross my cerebellum: what if John Frusciante and John Petrucci started a band together and called it Truchiante? Truly, a question for both philosophers and scientists to debate! For more awful puns and awesome Strats, check out our Wildwood 10 Strat page, and have a great #straturday, Wildwoodians!
Wildwoodians, for this upcoming Black Friday we’re (read this next word in the Sister Christian voice) Moto-in’ with a fresh new highly-limited Wildwood T-Shirt design. Inspired by apparel worn by motorcycle clubs, these shirts are designed to boost the midrange frequencies of your guitar via our proprietary Vintage Tone Fiber Matrix...just kidding! But they do celebrate four decades spent sharing the joy of making music together, and our gratitude to each and every one of you Wildwoodians for making everything we’ve done since 1984 possible. They’re also extremely limited, so when they’re gone, they’re as gone as the second day of the work week in a Lynyrd Skynyrd song. So, without further ado, we invite you to hit the link in our BIO, join the club, and become a Moto-head!
This week we’re revisiting when Andy Wood stopped by the Wildwood Lair to introduce his signature Suhr. He mentions that he loves shredding in the video and as it turns out, we also love it when he shreds!

Wildwoodians, to quote the great Paul Revere, “One if by land, two if by SE.” Lots of historians misquote him as saying “sea,” but in actuality he was just a vocal enthusiast of PRS Guitars. He also didn’t set out initially to alert the Minutemen of British troop movements—he had heard that he could get a great deal on an SE Silver Sky in Lexington and coincidentally noticed the British on the way. But, you don’t have to go all the way to Revolutionary War-era Massachusetts to get the same sort of deal Mr. Revere was after—just head on over to our PRS SE page to see all of the awesome guitars we’re offering at an incredible value as part of our PRS SE Holiday Sale!

A lot of rad guitars come through my desk at Wildwood, but this ‘88 Custom 24 in an exceedingly rare red/black crackle finish is another level of cool. Like, Al Green drinking a Slurpee in the ice fields of Antarctica levels of cool. Though the finish is eye-catching, it’s actually the least exciting part of this guitar, because it is a world-destroyer of a tone machine.
With the three pickups, you get the best of all worlds. The bridge pickup is punchy with tight bass response and highs that sound like a fanged church bell—it does theTele-on-steroids Jimmy Page thing. By contrast, the middle single-coil is bright and sparkly with a bit of a scoop in the mids (think David Gilmour), while the neck pickup is warm and throaty (think SRV). The in between positions nail that classic cluck and quack that we love in S-style guitars, too.
Anyone that appreciates fantastic tone, versatility, and playability will love this guitar, so check it and our other awesome vintage pieces out on our Vintage page. - Trevor AKA The Wildwood Scribe
You’re unlikely to remain solo while playing this ‘89 Schoenberg Soloist, because its sweet, rich tone is guaranteed to draw a crowd! It has a pretty cool story, too: it was voiced by the legendary luthier Dana Bourgeois and assembled by our friends at Martin. With such an incredible pedigree, it’s no surprise that it sounds positively heavenly! It produces a stunning bouquet of beautiful, complex overtones, making even simple open chords sound lusher than a rainforest in the Amazon—appropriate given the Brazilian rosewood back and sides!
We loved this guitar as both a strummer and a fingerstyle machine because of its special blend of richness and articulation. For a full report on its magnificent tone, check out serial 485280 on our Used Acoustic Guitar page. Happy #FlatTopFriday everyone.
