Wildwoodians, when this limited-edition Brazilian rosewood-equipped ‘59 Les Paul reissue arrived, several members of our Les Paul Department...well, they went a little nuts. When we arrived this morning, three of them were frothing at the mouth with their shirts off dancing around a fire they made out of shipping boxes and two-by-fours chanting “LIMITED RUN OF 50! LIMITED RUN OF 50! PRAISE BE TO MURPHY!” Now that they’ve calmed down after some coffee, they’re merely extolling the virtues of Custom ‘Buckers instead of engaging in cult-like behavior—always a danger when you handle instruments of such terrible eldritch power (speaking of which, when you open the case, a demonic scream comes from the case pouch. DO NOT open the case pouch, and if you do, DO NOT stare into the abyssal blackness inside). Frankly, it’s easy to see why this guitar inspired our LP Department to get buckwild—it delivers an incredible vintage playing experience thanks to its Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and period-correct appointments. If you’d like to learn more about this guitar or one of our many other Les Pauls, please feel free to drop us a line or give us a ring and we’ll read you some of our favorite incantations from the Lesternomicon.

Wildwoodians, I’ve played a lot of Civilization 5, and the best map by far is Terra—it’s where everybody starts on two continents then has to race to find the new world. It rules, especially if you’re not a coward and play on Marathon length. But, this Suhr Modern Terra is a strong contender for the coveted “Things I Like Most That Are Called Terra” award. It plays like Crisco-coated butter, and you can get roughly 1,072,452 tones out of the supremely versatile, inspiring pickups. It’s also quite minty, and the only cosmetic flaw to report is a check in the neck pocket. And that dark forest green finish is mysterious...dangerous...yet exciting, like the promise of battle when you happen upon a barbarian encampment. Come to think of it, you could probably clear out a barbarian camp with just this guitar...anyway, it’s so rad that I’d stop playing Civ to play it, and it also comes with its original hardshell case! Head on over to our Reverb page to check out Modern Terra six-string steed. Have #StartSUHRday everyone.

WHAM! This ‘60 WW Spec LP from the Gibson Custom Shop hits you like an eight-pound hammer made of tone decibels (8.88 lbs to be exact). Any Gibson aficionado seeking a rich, thick-sounding LP will love serial 01783. The resonate steed with a beautiful Slow Iced Tea Fade finish just recently hit the New Arrivals page so make haste and check it out. Happy #MarvelousTopMonday everyone!
Wildwoodians, it’s Tele Tuesday, so we decided to celebrate by putting this awesome NOS Wildwood 10 1951 Nocaster. “But it’s Friday, not Tuesday,” you say. Wrong. Tele Tuesday is every day. Tele Tuesday is a state of mind. Tele Tuesday is eternal. You cannot escape Tele Tuesday. We beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into Tele Tuesday. You might also ask “But how can we celebrate Tele Tuesday with a Nocaster? It’s not even a Tele, technically” to which we respond: Tele Tuesday encompasses All.
It’s quite a clean example, too. It shows some light checking in the finish on the body, and it honestly looks pretty cool—it gives the guitar a subtle vintage vibe. It comes with its original hardshell case with all the goodies, too. All hail Tele Tuesday!
Interest piqued? Drop us DM or check our Serial R122682 on the Wildwood Reverb page. FEAST!

Wildwoodians, when it comes to our ranking of explorers (which we update weekly), we have this gently-used ‘70s model from Gibson’s Original Collection ahead of Richard E. Byrd, Ferdinand Magellan, and Ernest Shackleton (although to be honest, Shackleton is overrated. I mean, he got the Endurance stuck in pack ice—rookie move!). Anyhoo, the point is that this pointy devil puts all of the explorers from your World History textbook to shame. It has a muscular sound with plenty of sizzle thanks to its ‘70s Tribute humbuckers, and the SlimTaper neck is more fast and furious than a Dodge Charger being driven by Ludacris. It’s a lot of fun to play!
Also, it’s in fantastic shape. It has one small divot in the finish by the bridge pickup, and there’s a light check on the bass side of the nut. Other than that, it just shows light playwear from normal use, and it comes with its original case, which shows a bit of wear but is sturdy as all-git-out. Also, we hope any Shackleton stans will forgive us for slandering their boy—we don’t know what comes over us when we start debating the Explorer Power Rankings sometimes. But we do know that this ‘70s model will tickle your eardrums and rock your socks, so don’t miss this chance to snag a killer Gibson at an awesome value!
Head on over to the Wildwood Guitars Reverb page for more details on Serial 218030188. Can you dig it?!?

Wildwoodians, we are proud to showcase the K24ce. With its other high-end appointments like maple binding, a wooden spring vine inlay, and shaded edgeburst finish, the K24ce cuts a stunning figure. It looks elegant and refined, yet it maintains a tasteful, earthy aesthetic. We know the K24CE (Serial 1210282027). Drop us an email or call the store for more details. Happy #FlatTopFriday everyone.

Wildwoodians, we are proud to present the ultimate bird of prey: the Gibson Falcon 5 1x10 combo amp. This is a pretty big deal, because Gibson hasn’t made amps since 1967! This particular model is a tribute to the legendary GA-19RVT Falcon that Gibson only made for one year (1961). It blends the powerful tone and elegant style of the original with modern features that make life easier for the discerning guitarist. With its single-ended Class A circuitry and simple, one-channel design, it’s the definition of a “grip-it-and-rip-it” amp that punches well above its weight class. But, if you want to play at a more neighbor-friendly volume but still get great tone, the Falcon has a power attenuator that can drop the output down to one watt. It also has a killer classic analog tube-driven spring reverb that we find utterly addictive. A ten-inch Jensen Blackbird speaker completes the package by providing touch-sensitivity, three-dimensional highs and mids, and nice tight bass. We’re proud to present this beastly bird of prey, and we have no doubt you’ll love flying the friendly skies with the Falcon.
Wildwoodians, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, it’s not Christmas, or New Years, or Halloween, or even Boxing Day. No, friends, it’s a far more special occasion: IT’S GREG KOCH OUTTAKES VIDEO DAY! Sorry for the all-caps—we get excited! Though you all know Greg as the most savage guitar picker on this side of the Mississippi (and the other side too!), he’s also one of the funniest people in the world. We cordially invite you to head on over to the Wildwood Youtube page and behold him in all his gristlicious glory!
Wildwoodians, this Wood Library Special Semi-Hollow is even smoother that the 1999 Santana hit “Smooth” featuring Rob Thomas, which is really saying something, because “Smooth” is quite smooth, indeed! And wouldn’t you know it...it also happens to have a Santana Yellow paint job! Coincidence? We think not! Connect the dots and open your eyes, people! It’s clearly a conspiracy to create the smoothest, most stylish semi-hollow possible; after all, why else would it come equipped with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and a ten-top? Shhh...we shouldn’t talk about this here, because the walls have ears, and also because Instagram is a public platform. Give us a call on a secure line or drop us a message through the secure dead-drop in the dumpster behind the Arby’s and we’ll tell you all about this guitar and how deep the Rob Thomas/Santana rabbit hole really goes.
