Those dog days of Summer are slowly coming to an end, but one this is for certain, this Gibson 50s LP Custom in a Dark Cherry Sunburst is smoking hot! This particular gem (Serial 217740001) is currently available and we thought a little Wednesday thirst trap couldn’t hurt;) Can you dig it?

The 1993Plus sets itself apart from the pack in a variety of ways, but the most important one is the way it feels. Rickenbacker made the neck an eighth of an inch wider at the nut to accommodate players who need wider string spacing for intricate picking patterns, rounded off the neck heel to make it more comfortable to play on the higher frets, and made the neck out of two sturdy pieces of maple instead of one to promote greater stability. They’ve also dropped in three vintage-style toaster pickups to achieve authentic old-school sounds, and added in an x-bracing pattern to bring out a bit more warmth and roundness from the maple body.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that these 1993s look sharp, too! The double-binding on the body really highlights the curves of this iconic shape, and the pearlescent triangle inlays look sharp against the backdrop of the glossy rosewood fretboard. It all adds up to a Rickenbacker that embodies the spirit of Pete Townshend: brash, full of attitude, and ready for any musical adventure that comes its way. Wildwood Guitars is proud to showcase the Rickenbacker 1993Plus for our exceptional customers, and we can’t wait to see how they inspire you to rock out (just promise us that you’ll be nicer to them than Pete was to his!).

When a master craftsman builds an instrument by hand, it imbues the instrument with a special brand of magical mojo that is easy to see, hear, and feel but hard to quantify. They reflect the individual personality of the builder so much that they attain distinctly human quality that makes them feel like an old friend from the moment you pick them up. It’s almost as if they have souls of their own, and nowhere is this soulfulness more evident than in this Gretsch 2023 Masterbuilt ‘57 Duo Jet. Keep your eyes peeled to the New Arrivals page to find out more info on this Black Heavy Relic beauty built by Gonzalo Madrigal (Serial UC23072508).

Attention, all lovers of aesthetic perfection! We are proud to showcase another gem from our dear friends at the Fender Custom Shop. Maybe we’re just excited because it recently arrived on the sparkling shores of Wildwood, but we think the NOS Ocean Turquoise Sparkle finish that Fender cooked up for us is literally the coolest-looking thing ever created in all of human history. Would we put this finish up against the doodles Michelangelo scrawled on the walls and ceilings in the Sistine Chapel? All day long, friend. Jokes aside, this one lit up the shop for about ten minutes as we all gathered around the cases, jostling one another to better ogle its sparkly goodness. Not to mention, the buttery flame on the maple neck for extra style, too! DAYNG! Drop us an email or call the store for more information on this mighty mineral Jazzmaster steed (Serial R11773). Happy #FenderFriday, everyone.
