It shows virtually zero playwear and has no cosmetic imperfections to report. Basically, it looks perfect! It also comes with its original hardshell case, a certificate of authenticity, and all its case candy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect 10\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears ago, we approached our friends at the Fender Custom Shop with a proposal: would they build us guitars that combined the mojo of a true-to-vintage reissue with modern handfeel and comfy modern ergonomics? They were enthused about the idea, and the Wildwood 10 was born. Thanks to the Custom Shop's incredible craftsmanship and artistry, these guitars look gorgeous, sound killer, and play like butter. Each of these Custom Shop creations features a thin fifties-style nitrocellulose finish, which allows the voice of the resonant hand-selected tonewoods to shine through. They also have hand-wound Custom Shop pickups that are sure to inspire you to reach new heights on your sonic journey. Wildwood 10s feel great in your hands, too. Their modern 10\" radius is suitable for a wide variety of styles and techniques, and their 6105 narrow-tall frets allow you to expend less energy with your left hand, especially when bending strings. To top it all off, they come with a limited edition Dealer Select Wildwood 10 hardshell case and a certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFabulous Fifty-Fives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1955, things were hopping at Fender, and the Telecaster was the hottest new electric guitar in all the land. Rock and roll, rockabilly, and country music were all taking off, and the Fender Telecaster was at the epicenter of it all. Our Wildwood 10 1955 Telecasters are an homage to the Telecasters that rolled off the line and into the hands of thousands of guitar players during the mid-1950s. They feature resonant ash bodies, period-correct neck shapes, hand-wound Custom Shop electronics, and maple necks. But they also feature our dealer-exclusive 10\" radius and narrow-tall 6105 frets for comfortable modern handfeel. So, you get the best of both worlds: all the fabulous fifties Fender tone you can handle AND modern playability. Please keep drooling to a minimum as you browse our many Wildwood 10 1955 Telecasters. We have lots of colors, neck profiles, and relic'd finishes, so we're sure you'll find something to make you salivate!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePickup Rundown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWildwoodians, the Hand-Wound Wildwood 10 Twisted Tele pickups in this guitar are the winners of the most fearsome shootout since the OK Corral! When we were trying to figure out what type of special sauce to put in our Wildwood 10 Tele pickups, the Twisted Tele was an easy choice for a starting point. Standard Twisted Teles have high output for fiery Tele tone, a dash of Strat-y sparkle, and excellent articulation. That sounded like a good base to work from, so we asked our friends at the Custom Shop to send us some underwound versions with AlNiCo II magnets instead of the standard AlNiCo V, and we asked that Fender's resident pickup maestro, Josefina Campos, be the one to wind them. They sent us multiple guitars with different output levels, and the whole staff got together to put them through their paces and compare notes. After a delightful Tele-filled afternoon, we reached a rare unanimous consensus, and these pickups emerged bloodstained from the octagon as the winner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Do They Sound?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow did these pickups unite the notoriously opinionated Wildwood staff? Well, for starters, the lower output makes them wonderfully touch-sensitive and dynamic, allowing you to alter your tone significantly using just your hands. But, they also have plenty of power because of the nature of the Twisted Tele. They're also unbelievably articulate, so they have that iconic woody Tele twang and capture every percussive detail of your right-hand attack. The bobbin for the bridge pickup is also shorter and the neck taller, which warms up the bridge and livens up the neck. Speaking of lively, the Wildwood 10 Twisted Teles have a Strat-like sparkliness, and they're similarly vocal. As a result, the bridge pickup is punchy and has excellent presence with plenty of jangle, chime, and sparkle. But, it still sounds quite round with no ice-pick frequencies or harshness. The neck pickup is sweet, warm, and vocal, yet it also remains open, lively, and dynamic. Teles may be simple guitars, but the amazing thing about them is they always fit in no matter what you're doing musically. In that spirit, we believe the Hand-Wound Wildwood 10 Twisted Tele will allow you to cover just about any musical territory you want to adventure through, and its dynamic, iconic voice will inspire all sorts of musical joy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51203739320595,"sku":"R122732","price":3284.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r122732_lg1.jpg?v=1745631045"},{"product_id":"standard-plus-18","title":"Standard Plus","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Greatness of Suhr\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nThe story of Suhr Guitars begins not with creation but with destruction.

Originally born in 1965, the 4005's powerful, expressive voice, elegant good looks, and supreme playability delighted players for decades before the model was eventually phased out in 1984. This left us at the Wildwood Bass Department and many other semi-hollow bass enthusiasts with a toaster pickup-sized hole in our hearts, but we must weep no longer, for the 4005 has returned! The new 4005V reissue nails the vibe and tone of those vaunted original sixties basses, and its arrival has significantly lessened productivity in the Bass Department (can you blame us?). \n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExpressive and Dynamic\u003c\/h3\u003eWhy have we been neglecting our professional duties in favor of thumping up a storm? Well, the simplest answer is that the semi-hollow construction makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. It imparts a bit of acoustic-style touch-sensitivity so you can shape the sound of the bass using your technique, allowing you to achieve a wide dynamic range. \n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Toast to Toasters!\u003c\/h3\u003eThat semi-hollow construction meshes beautifully with the electronics. There are few things in life better than the tone of a vintage-style Rickenbacker toaster single-coil, and their voices shine beautifully on this instrument. The neck pickup sounds as deep and woody as a hundred-foot-tall upright bass while keeping superb clarity even on the low E. The bridge pickup presents a slightly (but only slightly) mellower, more refined version of the classic clanking, growling biting Rickenbacker sound with some of the sharp edges rounder off. In other words, it thumps and growls beautifully in the soloed pickup positions, which makes the middle position pure magic. Who says you can't have the best of both worlds? \n\n\n\nThe medium scale-length also contributes to the 4005V's tone in an interesting way by giving it a touch more percussive articulation than a 34\" scale along with some more upright-like flavor. Not to mention, it also makes for a supremely slinky handfeel! \n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExpress Yourself\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Rickenbacker 4005V is one of the most inspiring basses we've seen in a long time. Although it's based on an instrument from the sixties, it has a fresh, exciting voice that stands apart from the crowd and blazes a new sonic trail. It's one of those models that just seems to innately inspire the player to be creative and find news means of musical expression. Any bassist looking to explore the sweet world of semi-hollow thud staffs owes it to themselves to take a 4005V for spin and experience its myriad musical charms firsthand.","brand":"Rickenbacker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51213516767507,"sku":"2425712","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/2425712_lg1.jpg?v=1769079538"},{"product_id":"gibson-wildwood-spec-1961-es-335-reissue-3","title":"Wildwood Spec 1961 ES-335 - Gloss","description":"\u003cp\u003eMcCartney and Lennon.

Dave Grohl has been playing Gibson guitars since the Foo Fighter's infancy, and his famous Gibson signature model (itself based on the Trini Lopez signature model) has graced countless stadiums and arenas as the Foos continue their quest to see a million faces and rock them all. Now, the Dave Grohl experience is available at an incredible value thanks to his new signature model from Epiphone! The Epiphone DG-335 captures the essence of what makes Dave's guitars cool and delivers it at a player-friendly price. So, let's brew up a fresh pot and dive in to see what makes it so cool! \n\n\n\nFirst things first: when it comes to Foo Fighters stuff, you've got to nail the color and the shape, and our friends at Epiphone NAILED the look. It has the iconic diamond F-holes, split diamond inlays and 6-in-line headstock,of the original, and the Pelham blue finish is positively resplendent. It's definitely an eye-catching guitar, but it will also capture eardrums because it comes with Dave Grohl's preferred pickups, Gibson Burstbuckers. These pugnacious PAF-inspired humbuckers deliver plenty of muscle, bite, and snarl along with the classic humbucker richness, but they also have an outsanding capacity for warmth, dynamics, and nuance. And, the pleasantly-chunky elliptical C neck profile has an addictive handfeel that makes this guitar almost impossible to put down. To top it off, it comes with a Dave Grohl Epiphone hardshell case. \n\n\n\nWhether you're a Foo fanatic or an appreciator of fine semi-hollow guitars, we're sure you'll agree that the Dave Grohl DG-335 is one of the coolest Epiphone signature models in recent memory, and we're sure it will inspire you to learn to fly!","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51215347777811,"sku":"24071510201","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/24071510201_lg1.jpg?v=1745651097"},{"product_id":"gibson-60s-les-paul-standard-custom-shop-top-93","title":"Original Collection Les Paul Standard '60s Custom Shop Top","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSitting On Top of the World\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWildwoodians, we are loath to contradict AC\/DC, but it is NO LONGER a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll, as long as the top you are seeking is made of exquisite maple. That's right-our friends at Gibson are building souped-up USA Les Pauls with jaw-dropping, outlandishly beautiful tops from the Custom Shop wood vault! If you let out a Ric Flair-esque \"WOOOOOOOOO\" upon learning that information, you're not alone, as there was much yelling, screaming, and open joyous weeping around the shop when we learned Gibson was building these bad boys. You see, a Custom Shop top on a USA instrument is simply unprecedented, and we love firsts here at Wildwood.\n\n\n\nWe also love pickups with serious vintage PAF vibes, sweet finishes, uber-comfy necks, and (of course) gorgeous wood. Naturally, we're as hyped about these guitars as Pete Townshend is about performing windmills during \"Won't Get Fooled Again,\" so let's dive deeper and see what makes the Original Collection Les Paul Standard Custom Shop Top so special!\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCustom Shop Magic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nOf course, the magic of these guitars starts with the top. Though beauty is self-explanatory (take a look to the left of this text and all will be revealed!), let's try to explain it anyway. The tops the Gibson Custom Shop uses may be from the same species of maple as their counterparts, but they're a different breed nonetheless. Though they do meet a sky-high standard for quality figuring, what really sets them apart is their uniqueness. They're like snowflakes, no two exactly the same, each pattern of flame in the grain a sentence in a different musical story. Each one has its own personality and style, so you can find a Les Paul Custom Shop Top that reflects who you are as a player and person, and that is the true magic of Custom Shop maple!\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePugnacious PAF-Style Pickups\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThough the Original Collection Les Paul Custom Shop Top is a guitar of uncommon beauty, there's nothing worse than a pretty face with nothing to say. Thankfully, they come equipped with pickups that help them speak quite eloquently and powerfully: two Wildwood Spec '59 Tribute Humbuckers.\n\n\n\nThese pickups capture the mojo and tone of vintage Gibsons beautifully. They have enough power, brawn and gristle to storm the gates of Valhalla, but they also display outstanding touch-sensitivity and a tremendous capacity for subtlety and nuance. Played clean, they create a beautiful world of warmth and sparkle that's easy to get lost in. Played dirty, they make you feel like you're crushing a 1992 Honda Civic in a monster truck!\n\n\n\nThe bridge pickup is a delight: punchy with plenty of snarl in the midrange, tight, muscle-bound low-end and sizzling-sweet highs. In the neck position, you'll find deep, warm, woody lows along with broad, vocal midrange and singing highs. These are the kinds of sounds that make you remember why you fell in love with Gibsons in the first place, and their capacity for musical inspiration is boundless.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizzling Sixties Style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThis particular Les Paul Standard Custom Shop Top is a '60s-inspired model, which means it comes with some pretty nifty appointments.

Not that his previous signature models didn't rock--far from it--but he specifically needed a high-output, fuel-injected wooden steed that could \"withstand hardcore whammy abuse.\" With the addition of the SSH Plus (John Suhr's all-time favorite high-output humbucker) and the FU-Tone bridge, the fine folks at Suhr made Pete's vision a reality, and it is glorious. Resplendent in its Graphite Metallic finish (it drew oohs and ahs from my coworkers when I opened the case), the Pete Thorn Signature Custom HSS is a high-performance vehicle purpose-built for rock mayhem. \n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor Pete's Sake!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nFirst things first: the SSH Plus in the bridge position is meaner than ten miles in new shoes. It's practically impossible to play a power chord through a distorted amp without snarling a little--it's just nasty! It's uber-articulate, magnificently balanced, expansively open, robust yet clear, and positively rude. It's about as good as it gets for rhythm work, and it makes lead lines sizzle like bacon. \n\n\n\nThat tone complements the more classically-voiced single-coils beautifully. They have a lovely sparkling sweet tone that is bright and bell-like without ever sounding tinny or harsh, and they have a wonderful vocal quack and chirp. It's awesome to go from a gnarly modern humbucker to a sweet, almost David Gilmour-esque vintage tone with the flip of a switch! \n\n\n\nLet's also not forget about the FU-Tone bridge, which helps the Pete Thorn Signature Custom HSS intonate precisely, maximizes stability even when abused, and boosts tone. It has a solid brass block and titanium screws and inserts, so it's built to withstand the zombie apocalypse. And, the D-Tuna helps you flip to dropped tunings on the fly. \n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA High-Performance Machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThe Pete Thorn Signature Custom HSS also plays like Crisco-coated butter, meeting the discerning and demanding taste of Pete Thorn. The soft V profile is uber-comfy, and the compound radiused fretboard allows for easy chording down low and effortless shredding up top--not to mention, it makes it easy to set it up for speed. The jumbo stainless steel frets help in that regard, too, as does the oil-finished neck, which feels righteously smooth. It all adds up to a guitar that feels faster than Usain Bolt chasing an ice cream truck! \n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThorn on the Bayou\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nNo, this guitar has no connection to the Mississippi River Delta--we just can't resist CCR-based puns, even if that one was a stretch. However, it's definitely not a stretch to say that the Pete Thorn Signature Custom HSS is one of the beastliest shred machines ever to grace our shelves!

Lipstick pickups are a desert island sound for me, but they're hard to find, so I was overjoyed to learn that Reverend was bringing back their Spy model. To say I was pumped when I found out we were getting 24 in Wildwood Exclusive sparkle finishes would be the understatement of the century! When the first Spies arrived, I spent a magical day inspecting them, weighing them, measuring their necks, and plugging them in (purely to confirm the electronics were working, of course, just doing my job), and I came to fall in love with them. While I raved about how great they were to my coworkers all day, one particular serial grabbed my heart harder than the rest. As six o'clock rolled around, I pondered the idea of leaving without it, and the thought alone made me sick to my stomach. So, my apologies, Wildwoodians: I am the reason that only 23 of the 24 Spies from this run are available. The last one is in my house, and all I can think about is how badly I want to go home and play it some more. This is all a roundabout way of saying that I'm probably one of the biggest Reverend Spy fans on the planet. I think they're some of the coolest-sounding guitars I've ever laid hands on, and I think everyone should live and let Spy. Let's dive deeper and see why they're such a wellspring of musical creativity and inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e(Lip)Stick the Landing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost, the magic of the Spy lies in its Reverend Power Tube lipstick pickups, which guitar players have revered for their fantastic tone since the sixties, when budget guitars made by Danelectro and Silvertone guitars popularized them. Fun fact: all the lipstick pickups from those Danos were actually made using lipstick tubes, as Nathan Daniel discovered he could get them much cheaper than actual pickup covers. The originals were crude (just an AlNiCo V bar magnet swaddled in cellophane and potting, no fancy polepieces or hi-falutin' bobbins) and just the right amount of rude (as evidenced by Jimmy Page's monster tone on Kashmir). Stevie Ray Vaughan loved him so much that he played a Custom Strat copy with lipsticks, nicknamed \"\"Charley!\"\" The folks at Reverend have significantly refined the lipstick pickup in creating the Power Tubes (in fact, I'd argue that they're the apex of lipstick tone), but the soul and character of the vintage examples are in every fiber of their DNA. Vintage examples can sound a bit weak (some measure in at less than 5k!), so the folks at Reverend overwound these pickups slightly to make sure they have plenty of muscle while keeping everything that made the originals so awesome. The finished product sounds like nothing else out there, and that's what makes them so profoundly inspirational. They have the sparkle, chime, and jangle of a great Rickenbacker, the percussive bite and snarl of a great Tele, and the vocal chirp and quack of a Strat. It all adds up to a sunny, sweet tone with exceptional lushness and three-dimensionality, and superb percussive twang and bite. To my ears, it's a perfect bright electric guitar sound. There are no harsh, strident, icepick frequencies to be found--a common pitfall for bright guitars. It sounds full and rich, but it fits perfectly in a mix, and it's exceptionally articulate with wonderful bell-like clarity. To boot, the vocal Stratiness of it all adds another layer of expressiveness to the equation. All in all, the Reverend Spy is a guitar that sounds completely original. Because you're in new sonic territory, it almost forces you to be creative and find new ideas. As soon as you come in, the inspiration flows like the roaring Colorado River!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to Be Played\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore starting Reverend Guitars, Joe Naylor (the brains behind Reverend designs) worked as a guitar repairman. Over the years, he kept a mental checklist of all the most common guitar ailments and afflictions. Once he started building, he sought to improve his designs to head these issues off at the pass with thoughtful designs meant to improve durability, stability, and playability. For instance, input jacks always go squirrelly, so each Reverend has a four-bolt jack plate instead of a two-bolt, because more bolts means it's less likely to move. The same principle applies to many aspects of this guitar's design. It has a six-bolt neck plate instead of the usual four, so the neck is much less likely to move. It's also at a slight angle, which makes it easier to access the upper frets. Speaking of which, the neck is made of roasted maple, which has a lower moisture content, so it's less likely to move with humidity (and it acts as a wooden tuning fork of sorts, boosting the guitar's sustain and resonance a little bit). For those who love to whammy it up, it has a Wilkinson WVS50 IIK Tremolo, which is as bulletproof and stable as they come. Speaking of tuning stability, the Boneite nut and pin-lock tuners make tuning (and staying in tune) a breeze. To top it off, it has boutique-quality pots and caps, which ensure each guitar has reliable, consistent electronic components. Basically, all of that makes each Reverend supremely reliable, capable of withstanding abuse night in and night out. Reverend's playability matches the sky-high standards it sets in durability and stability. Their necks are a marvel: an uber-comfy medium oval C with a 12\"\" radius and 0.110\"\" wide x 0.050\"\" high frets create a comfortable home for just about any play-style. The flat radius allows for a lower setup and lets you bend strings with low action without the notes choking out and dying. The larger frets also reduce left-hand exertion and make it easier to play precisely, and the overall profile sits squarely in the Goldilocks Zone: not too thick and not too thin. It's a configuration that works well for just about any play style, and it is universally beloved by the Wildwood staff. That's all a long-winded way of saying that this Reverend will be a dependable and helpful companion throughout all your fretboard adventures, making it easier for you to express yourself creatively at every turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRocky Mountain Spy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWildwoodians, everyone's ears hear differently, and everyone's heartstrings have different sympathetic frequencies, so your mileage may vary, but I think a Spy belongs in every guitar player's quiver.

Ever the innovator, Leo Fender decided to tweak the already-legendary Tele tone formula by introducing a rosewood fretboard. This new tonewood's sweet, round-sounding attack provided a delightful new color for discerning players' palettes, and they took the musical world by storm. \n\n\n\nThese Wildwood 10 1959 Telecasters capture the trailblazing magic of those original '59s by pairing resonant tonewoods with Custom Shop electronics and period-correct neck shapes. But, they also have modern 10\" radii and narrow-tall 6105 frets, so they feel as good in your hands as any modern instrument. We have plenty of colors and finishes with varying levels of relic-ing, and several different neck profiles to choose from, so we invite you to take a gander at our selection of Wildwood 10 1959 Telecasters.

When we were trying to figure out what type of special sauce to put in our Wildwood 10 Tele pickups, the Twisted Tele was an easy choice for a starting point. Standard Twisted Teles have high output for fiery Tele tone, a dash of Strat-y sparkle, and excellent articulation. \n\n\n\nThat sounded like a good base to work from, so we asked our friends at the Custom Shop to send us some underwound versions with AlNiCo II magnets instead of the standard AlNiCo V, and we asked that Fender's resident pickup maestro, Josefina Campos, be the one to wind them. They sent us multiple guitars with different output levels, and the whole staff got together to put them through their paces and compare notes. After a delightful Tele-filled afternoon, we reached a rare unanimous consensus, and these pickups emerged bloodstained from the octagon as the winner. \n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Do They Sound?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nHow did these pickups unite the notoriously opinionated Wildwood staff? Well, for starters, the lower output makes them wonderfully touch-sensitive and dynamic, allowing you to alter your tone significantly using just your hands. But, they also have plenty of power because of the nature of the Twisted Tele. They're also unbelievably articulate, so they have that iconic woody Tele twang and capture every percussive detail of your right-hand attack. The bobbin for the bridge pickup is also shorter and the neck taller, which warms up the bridge and livens up the neck. Speaking of lively, the Wildwood 10 Twisted Teles have a Strat-like sparkliness, and they're similarly vocal. \n\n\n\nAs a result, the bridge pickup is punchy and has excellent presence with plenty of jangle, chime, and sparkle. But, it still sounds quite round with no ice-pick frequencies or harshness. The neck pickup is sweet, warm, and vocal, yet it also remains open, lively, and dynamic. \n\n\n\nTeles may be simple guitars, but the amazing thing about them is they always fit in no matter what you're doing musically. In that spirit, we believe the Hand-Wound Wildwood 10 Twisted Tele will allow you to cover just about any musical territory you want to adventure through, and its dynamic, iconic voice will inspire all sorts of musical joy.","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52573470785811,"sku":"R148555","price":3775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r148555_lg1.jpg?v=1776830352"},{"product_id":"fender-ultra-luxe-50s-telecaster-us25030563","title":"American Ultra Luxe Vintage '50s Telecaster","description":"\u003cp\u003eRepresenting the pinnacle of innovation and craftsmanship, Fender American Ultra Luxe sets the benchmark for premium electric instruments.

Though the Les Paul Standard wore many finishes in the ensuing years, all of those original fifties Les Pauls established a gold standard of excellence. Now, Gibson USA pays tribute to those fantastic fifties Gibsons with an inspired entry in their Original Collection: the Les Paul Standard '50s model, available in nitrocellulose lacquer Goldtop, Cherry Sunburst, and Tobacco Burst finishes.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Fifties Formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThe Les Paul Standard '50s follows the tried-and-true Les Paul formula for excellence to a T. A maple cap adorns a mahogany body to continue one of the most legendary tonewood relationships in the history of lutherie. Mahogany produces a warm, midrange-forward tone with a bit of natural compression, while maple adds in extra treble cut and enhances articulation. Together, they give these fifties-inspired beasts a robust, full voice with incredible sustain.\n\n\n\nGibson has also outfitted the Les Paul Standard '50s model with a gloriously chunky rounded neck profile just like its vintage forebears. If you like your necks on the bigger side, it doesn't get much better than this! And, just like a fifties Les Paul, it wears a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, which allows for maximum resonance.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003e'Bucker Brigade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nTwo of Gibson's stellar Burstbucker pickups build upon the inspiring foundation laid by the tonewoods. Burstbuckers take their inspiration from the famous \"Patent Applied For\" (or \"PAF\") pickups designed by Seth Lover for Gibson in 1955. They do an excellent job of recreating the vintage magic of the originals.\n\n\n\nSpecifically, the Les Paul Standard '50s features a slightly-underwound Burstbucker 1 in the neck position and a hotter Burstbucker 2 in the bridge.

It's open, loud and three-dimensional, and you can hear its personality with no electricity involved. Through an amp, the magic comes from the way the pickups complement one another. The bridge pickup is pure rock and roll brutality, with a beautiful snarl in the midrange, wonderfully open, sparkly highs, and muscular low-end that practically forces your facial muscles to contract into a stank face when you hit the low E. Through a crunchy amp, it's rhythm guitar nirvana, and it works beautifully for stinging, sizzling leads, too. \n\n\n\nBy contrast, the neck pickup is thick, warm, and righteously smooth. The midrange is broad and vocal, the lows are deep and woody, and the highs are glassy and sweet. In the middle position, they go together like macaroni and cheese, and they fill the entire sonic spectrum for a massive sound capable of leveling skyscrapers and felling ancient eldritch beasts. \n\n\n\nI will likely scream, cry, and\/or throw up when this Dunable finds its forever home and I have to watch it leave on the truck.

Once they pick out some good-sounding wood, the master luthiers at the Gibson Custom Shop attach everything together using hot hide glue.

That means that these pretty golden girls sing loud and proud even when unplugged! \n\n\n\nWhen you do plug in, you will be amazed at how well the natural acoustic voice of these instruments translates to huge electrified tone. Each one comes equipped with Custom Shop Alnico 3 P-90s that seem to capture all our favorite parts of old pickups. Warm, woody low end, touch-sensitive midrange that can sing, punch or bite depending on your mood, and lush, chiming high-end.

This means that they have slightly more focused, defined tonal character as opposed to the broader sound of the Falcon, but the main effect has to do with ergonomics. Gretsch Falcons really are the Cadillacs of hollowbodies, and, like their vehicular counterparts, Falcons are really big! Our Falcon Juniors still have a big personality, but because they come in a smaller package, they are a little easier on the back, arms, and shoulders.

The fine people at TV Jones have done a bang-up job of replicating the classic sound of the original 1960s Super’Trons, and we think they give these Falcon Juniors a whole ‘nother flavor of killer Gretsch tone. They use steel blades instead of poles, so they have extra inductance, which translates to fuller, punchier tone across the whole harmonic spectrum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s also a little bit easier to get Super’Trons to break up, as they are tremendously touch-sensitive. When you pick hard while playing into an amp set near the edge of its headroom, you are rewarded with the sort of glorious crunch, jangle and growl that rock and roll dreams are made of, yet the sound remains clear and articulate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy contrast, when you ease off with your right hand you get all the quack, blooming high overtones, and low-end warmth you’ll ever need!

However, their magic lies in their ability to appeal to everyone, regardless of style or taste. For instance, we have one staff member who primarily plays acoustic fingerstyle jazz. I, on the other hand, tend to play aggressive, punk-inflected indie music that borrows heavily from country and folk (translation: I play alt-country, poorly).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite our stylistic differences, both of us LOVE the sound of Falcon Juniors.

Since its introduction, it has become one of the most popular acoustic guitars ever made and has been the choice of countless players across generations and genres. Much of the Hummingbird’s appeal lies in its versatility. No matter how you attack this flat-top, it pumps out rich, deep tones and is equally at home strumming first-position chords as it is taking the spotlight for picking lead lines. The Hummingbird Standard is more than capable of nailing down the rhythm in the hands of a rock ’n’ roll sideman or accompanying the most nuanced performance under the fingers of today’s alternative singer-songwriter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Gibson Hummingbird Standard is handcrafted with care in Bozeman, Montana, by Gibson’s expert acoustic luthiers and features a square shoulder body crafted using solid mahogany for the back and sides. The top is solid Sitka spruce and is reinforced with scalloped X-bracing. Both the top and back are framed with multi-ply binding. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Hummingbird Standard’s mahogany neck is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint using hot hide glue and features a comfortable Rounded profile. The neck is equipped with a bound rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. The belly-up bridge is also crafted from rosewood. This ’bird has a TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins. The smooth, self-lubricating TUSQ nut, in partnership with high-quality Grover Rotomatic tuners, ensures solid tuning stability. The Hummingbird Standard features the iconic Hummingbird graphics on the pickguard, which is one of the design elements that have made this model instantly recognizable, even to many non-guitarists. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Hummingbird has long been a favorite of performing and recording musicians, so the Hummingbird Standard comes craftory-equipped with L.R. Baggs VTC electronics, which feature an under-saddle piezo pickup and active preamp. The volume and tone controls are discreetly mounted at the edge of the soundhole, making them readily accessible to the player while remaining all but invisible to the audience. The inclusion of high-quality electronics means the Hummingbird Standard is stage studio-ready from the moment you take it out of the included hardshell case. The Hummingbird Standard is available in both right and left-handed versions. Isn’t it time you discovered for yourself why so many players love the Hummingbird?

When we were trying to figure out what type of special sauce to put in our Wildwood 10 Tele pickups, the Twisted Tele was an easy choice for a starting point. Standard Twisted Teles have high output for fiery Tele tone, a dash of Strat-y sparkle, and excellent articulation. \n\n\n\nThat sounded like a good base to work from, so we asked our friends at the Custom Shop to send us some underwound versions with AlNiCo II magnets instead of the standard AlNiCo V, and we asked that Fender's resident pickup maestro, Josefina Campos, be the one to wind them. They sent us multiple guitars with different output levels, and the whole staff got together to put them through their paces and compare notes.

Well, for starters, the lower output makes them wonderfully touch-sensitive and dynamic, allowing you to alter your tone significantly using just your hands. But, they also have plenty of power because of the nature of the Twisted Tele. They're also unbelievably articulate, so they have that iconic woody Tele twang and capture every percussive detail of your right-hand attack. The bobbin for the bridge pickup is also shorter and the neck taller, which warms up the bridge and livens up the neck. Speaking of lively, the Wildwood 10 Twisted Teles have a Strat-like sparkliness, and they're similarly vocal. \n\n\n\nAs a result, the bridge pickup is punchy and has excellent presence with plenty of jangle, chime, and sparkle. But, it still sounds quite round with no ice-pick frequencies or harshness. The neck pickup is sweet, warm, and vocal, yet it also remains open, lively, and dynamic. \n\n\n\nTeles may be simple guitars, but the amazing thing about them is they always fit in no matter what you're doing musically. In that spirit, we believe the Hand-Wound Wildwood 10 Twisted Tele will allow you to cover just about any musical territory you want to adventure through, and its dynamic, iconic voice will inspire all sorts of musical joy.","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53981022617875,"sku":"R148748","price":4450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r148748_lg1.jpg?v=1775567276"},{"product_id":"r147271-wildwood-10-1959-telecaster-nos","title":"Wildwood 10 1959 Telecaster - NOS","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect 10\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nYears ago, we approached our friends at the Fender Custom Shop with a proposal: would they build us guitars that combined the mojo of a true-to-vintage reissue with modern handfeel and comfy modern ergonomics?

Though the Stratocaster became a runaway hit after hitmakers like Buddy Holly toted them on stage, Leo Fender's tireless commitment to excellence led him to introduce a number of improvements to the Stratocaster's design. In a quest to cater to players' demands, he introduced a soft V-shaped neck profile, and he started building some of the bodies out of alder. Our Wildwood 10 1957 Stratocasters pay homage to Leo Fender's relentless work ethic by replicating the glories of the original heavenly '57s. We have a wide variety of finishes with various types of relic-ing and lots of neck profiles, so we're sure you'll be able to find a '57 that speaks to you.

Here's a quick rundown of what makes them tick. They're slightly underwound, which gives them exceptional dynamic response and touch sensitivity. You can really alter your sound based on how hard you're hitting, which makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. However, they are wound with thicker wire like Fender did in the sixties, which gives them a little more power and guts despite being underwound. As a result, their voice is similar to vintage Strat pickups we love with lots of bell-like chime and vocal response, but with a little extra warmth and muscle. \n\n\n\nAlthough they are not exactly the same as a real vintage example, we think they capture the magic sound of a great vintage Strat, giving you access to the iconic sound that shaped countless classic records. We have no doubt they will make your heartstrings resonate!","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53981022716179,"sku":"R147756","price":4825.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r147756_lg1.jpg?v=1775175519"},{"product_id":"20496065-l-00-special-launch-4-7-satin-ebony","title":"Modern Collection L-00 Special","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGibson’s most popular small-bodied acoustic model gets the Special treatment\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFirst introduced in 1932, the L-00 has remained the most well-known and popular small-body acoustic model in Gibson’s illustrious history.

In a quest to cater to players' demands, he introduced a soft V-shaped neck profile, and he started building some of the bodies out of alder. Our Wildwood 10 1957 Stratocasters pay homage to Leo Fender's relentless work ethic by replicating the glories of the original heavenly '57s. We have a wide variety of finishes with various types of relic-ing and lots of neck profiles, so we're sure you'll be able to find a '57 that speaks to you. We invite you to browse our selection and experience the myriad delights the Wildwood 10 1957 Stratocaster has to offer.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePickup Rundown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWe believe that the Wildwood 10 Strat pickups our friends at Fender wind for us are some of the finest single-coils in the world. Here's a quick rundown of what makes them tick. They're slightly underwound, which gives them exceptional dynamic response and touch sensitivity. You can really alter your sound based on how hard you're hitting, which makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. However, they are wound with thicker wire like Fender did in the sixties, which gives them a little more power and guts despite being underwound. As a result, their voice is similar to vintage Strat pickups we love with lots of bell-like chime and vocal response, but with a little extra warmth and muscle. \n\n\n\nAlthough they are not exactly the same as a real vintage example, we think they capture the magic sound of a great vintage Strat, giving you access to the iconic sound that shaped countless classic records. We have no doubt they will make your heartstrings resonate!","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53987662528787,"sku":"R148419","price":4825.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r148419_lg1.jpg?v=1775567251"},{"product_id":"3042614-standard-series-om-28e","title":"Standard Series OM-28E","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Martin OM-28E is one of the most iconic models in Martin’s lineup, trusted by generations of players for its balanced tone, timeless style, and unmatched versatility.

Frankly, the guitar on the track sounds sort of like an actual mountain: gigantic, imposing, and made of pure rock. The guitar that produced this monolithic tone was none other than a Les Paul Junior: a no-frills one-pickup student model guitar, of all things.\n\n\n\nWhen Gibson introduced the Junior in 1954, it was a runaway success; in fact, it outsold the Les Paul Standard by a wide margin in 1959! The Junior's widespread popularity meant you could pick one up easily and cheaply in second-hand shops. So, after guitarists in the know like Leslie West started using them, an amazing reversal happened: suddenly, guitar masters were seeking out student model guitars!\n\n\n\nThe Les Paul Junior boom continued with the advent of punk rock. It was a perfect marriage: the Junior's stripped-down aesthetic, raw, aggressive tone, and wallet-friendly price point made them a perfect vessel for the anarchic sounds of players like Mick Jones and Johnny Thunders.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Secret Weapon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nNowadays, the Les Paul Junior is a permanent fixture in the landscape of modern music. Just about every session guy has one in his quiver for those tracks that need a little extra rawness and aggression, and you'd be surprised how many players often associated with other guitars reach for Juniors when they need that secret sauce. For instance, J Mascis is known for playing Jazzmasters, but he used a Junior to record almost every rhythm track on most Dinosaur Jr. albums.\n\n\n\nEveryone should experience the magic of a Les Paul Junior at some point, so we are quite excited to showcase a slightly nastier selection from Gibson's Original Collection: the Les Paul Junior, a guitar that continues the rough-and-tumble legacy of its vintage forebears.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Source of the Sauce\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nSo, what is the source of the Original Collection Les Paul Junior's incredible power? How does a humble former student model have so much muscle? Well, Wildwoodians, the answer has three key components: wood, wire, and hardware.\n\n\n\nThe Les Paul Junior's body is made out of high-quality, resonant mahogany. As a general rule, mahogany has a warm, punchy, midrange-forward sound with a natural tendency towards round, musical compression. All in all, mahogany-bodied electric guitars sound warm, clear, and well-mannered when played acoustically.\n\n\n\nBy contrast, P-90 pickups have a brash, bold personality. Their midrange snarls, bites, and punches, their highs are full of rich bell-like overtones, and their lows are meaty and muscular. The mahogany body rounds off the harsh edges of the P-90 sound ever so slightly, which allows the Junior to sound aggressive yet pleasant no matter how much gain you pile on. Through a clean amp, it sounds lush and full without any ugly spiky frequencies.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan We Take it To the Bridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nSure, the Junior might lack a neck pickup, but its single dog-ear P-90 sounds so full and is so versatile that you won't really miss having a second pickup. It sounds rich enough that single-note lines have plenty of mass and depth, and it is fearsome as a rock rhythm machine. Through a clean amp, it has plenty of jangle, chime, and warmth. And, in a pinch, the P-90 in these puppies will do a pretty good impersonation of a neck pickup if you roll the tone all the way off. It's the sort of sound that will work in any genre from blues to rock to metal to country.\n\n\n\nPart of the reason why the bridge pickup in these Juniors sounds so good is the design of the bridge itself. The Original Collection Les Paul Junior features a wraparound tailpiece, a piece of hardware that is utterly genius in its simplicity. Wraparound tailpieces improve sustain and resonance because they are beefy and because there is more contact between string and bridge. Of course, this does make it a little harder to intonate. But, most players are perfectly happy to trade a little bit of precision for bigger sound. And anyway, you can always bend it 'til it sounds good!\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePure Rock and Roll\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThe Les Paul Junior from the Gibson Original Collection is the distilled essence of rock and roll. It's lean, it's mean, and it is a tone machine. We invite you to take one of these monstrous guitars for a spin and experience their myriad sonic delights. Once you do, we're sure you'll be overcome by the urge to put your elbow on all your amp's knobs, turn them all to ten, and let 'er rip.
