In the darkest depths of the Murphy Lab, an evil creature filled with dark Iommic energy stirred from its centuries-long slumber, awakened by an arcane ritual performed by Gibson’s Tone Wizards. The creature lurched from its resting place, sniffed the air, pointed its nose west, and left a trail of sonic destruction across the US before it finally reached its destination: Wildwood Guitars. Ever since it arrived, it’s been dark and rainy, and there have been all sorts of odd noises emanating from empty places in the shop. Our shipping manager also swears he saw a ghost playing Stairway to Heaven on it when he came in early in the morning. We’re getting a little bit freaked out, so, if you have the number of a paranormal investigator, or if you’d like more information about this otherworldly Murphy Lab SG, give us a call or drop us an email. Also, let us know in the comments which three guitar players would be your ghostbusting dream team—wrong answers only.

Wildwoodians, we have dubbed this lovely PRS CE24 in Eriza Verde Smokeburst Richard Dent. Why does it deserve to share a moniker with one of a Hall-of-Fame defensive end and Super Bowl XX MVP with career 137.5 sacks? Well, because it’s just as pugnacious, big, and mean as the former Super Bowl Shuffler, but it’s a bit battered, just as Dent was in the season where he won a Super Bowl with the 49ers (people forget he was on the ‘94 Niners team that won it all). The injury is, well, a dent. It’s right by the input jack, and it’s about as wide and half as long as a pointer finger. It’s noticeable but not super glaring, and the guitar is still structurally sound.
Speaking of sound, the 85/15 humbuckers in this guitar sound fantastic! They sit somewhere near the middle on a scale of vintage to modern, and they give you the best of both worlds. They have the sweetness of a vintage pickup, but they sound richer with deeper lows and sparklier high-end, and they have outstanding clarity, articulation and balance. So, you can really ladle on the gain without any mush or mud creeping in. It’s the sort of humbucking sound that fits like a glove in almost any musical context except for polka, and it might even work there, too!
If you don’t mind that this guitar has a little war wound from battling in the trenches, you can snag a truly pugnacious player’s guitar at an awesome value here. I have no doubt Richard Dent will be your MVP too if you give him a chance (link in our story).

Not to cast shade on July 5th-31st or 1st-3rd, but the best day of July is definitely today! We hope you all have a fantastic Fourth, and that you eat lots of good food and crank lots of good music—perhaps some CCR? Our shop phones will be stowed away today, but, as always, our online store is open for business, so you can still set yourself up with an awesome Gibson Custom Shop LP in various patriotic finishes;) Have fun, be safe, and keep on rockin’ in the free world, Wildwoodians!

Wildwoodians, do you hear that? That terrible, terrible rumble? No, it’s not a low-grade earthquake, although the ground is shaking. No, the answer is far more frightening. An ancient leviathan—one from 1965, to be exact—has risen from its slumber and emerged from the deepest, darkest depths of Thunder Valley to wreak havoc, chaos, and destruction! However, if one were to tame this eldritch beast, one could wage war with titans and battle the warriors of Valhalla (although you may need an SVT with a fridge cabinet for the latter task). Seriously, this ‘65 Precision Bass is so cool that it invites all sorts of hyperbolic language. And, believe it or not, it has only had one owner since 1972! This bass is a true vintage treasure, so give us a call or drop us a line if you want to know more about the source of its dark powers. Also, if you had to fight a viking using a guitar or bass, what model would you use? Drop your wrong answers in the comments.

Wildwoodians, if you love Jazzmaster, then we’re birds of a feather! We’ve been getting in a bunch with matching headstocks, we think they’re pretty awesome! To get an idea of the depth, width, and height of their awesomeness, head on over to our Fender Custom Shop Jazzmaster page and take a gander (meaning look, not a flock of geese. Speaking of terms for groups of animals, did you know that a group of turkeys is called a rafter? We learned a few weeks ago when a rafter walked through our parking lot. Thank you for reading this nonsensical parenthetical about birds and language). If you have any questions, we’ll flock to our phones and inboxes to answer your calls and missives, and we’re happy to tell you all about our various bird sightings, too!

It’s not every day you see a guitar that combines the articulation of a J-style guitar, the responsiveness of a T-style semi-hollow, and the soul of a vintage humbucker-equipped single-cut, so it sounds quite fresh and inspiring—perhaps why I immediately started writing a song when I picked it up. If you’re looking for inspiration, check this Castedosa Marianna Semi-Hollow out (Serial 094), as I have no doubt it will get your creativity flowing, too!
