Your eyes do not deceive you: this is a Custom Shop 000 (Serial 2272802) with gorgeous quilted sapele back and sides with a Style 45 Rosette and a Style 45 Inlays. Why? Well, we thought it would look awesome, and there’s no adult supervision at Wildwood to tell us no, so why not? We asked the folks at Martin to deck it out with ALL the premium appointments, too: a thin nitro finish, a VTS Adirondack spruce top, and 100% hide glue construction. Check out a detailed sonic evaluation on our Martin acoustic page to learn more about how these features translated to make this 000 a true sonic titan. Happy #FlatTopFriday everyone.

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.

What happens when a truck carrying Adirondack spruce and a truck carrying koa crash into one another? Well, you get a guitar like this fabulous Froggy Bottom H-12 (we’re not entirely sure if they use the truck-crash method to build guitars, but it’s our best guess). This guitar certainly hits with the force of an large motorized vehicle—even the high e string packs a wallop! It responds to your right hand with immediacy, and the attack is round and springy.
As is often the case with koa-bodied acoustics, this serial has opened up beautifully after having been played, and it has developed a robust overtone presence as a result. On a scale of bright to warm, it sits near the middle with its goes hanging into the warm side. Somehow, despite how full-bodied and complex it sounds, it manages to maintain excellent note separation. For fingerstyle, it works as marvelously as you’d expect, but its talents as a strummer are also surprising and delightful.This 12-fret terror would make an inspiring companion for anyone looking to experience the magic of a great handmade koa guitar, and we have no doubt it will inspire you to embark on all sorts of acoustic adventures!
