It is likely that a previous owner had the neck oversprayed to prevent it from receiving any more play wear. The overspray on the top was likely a repair from when the bridge moved scratched the finish. All this finish work took place some time ago. When we put the guitar under the blacklight, the overspray was yellow in color like the original lacquer. A previous owner added a Bigbsby, and another owner put the original G tailpiece put back on, leaving a couple of holes where the vibrato unit sat on the top. \n\n\n\nMusical instruments made from certain types of wood may be restricted for export from the U.S. under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

Together, they hatched a nefarious scheme codenamed \"Project Parallel Universe\" to take the guitar world by storm. Using dark, arcane technologies, they combined beloved electric guitar shapes and shaped them into hybrids of terrifying rock and roll power.  They made them bigger, faster and stronger. They didn't think about the consequences of their actions. Now, like a horde of monsters emerging from a wormhole connected to a parallel universe, the products of their evil experiments are finding their way to guitar stores across America. Wildwood Guitars is proud to showcase these creatures from another dimension, and we hope you find their out-of-this-world styling and unexpected sounds as inspiring as we do! \n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHybrid Moments\u003c\/h3\u003eIs it a Strat or a Tele? We believe that the answer is a resounding \"neither!\" The new Strat-Tele Hybrid from Fender's Parallel Universe series is the first of an entirely new breed that is just as inspiring as the two designs it draws its influence from. \n\n\n\nFender used ash as the building block for these guitars in order to give the player powerful lows and bold trebles and plopped in some bright, spanky Custom Shop '69 Strat pickups. This has proved quite an effective combination, as it gives the player all the chime and quack of a Strat along with the snap and twang of a Tele. \n\n\n\nThough this guitar's hybridized design has given it a unique and powerful voice, one mustn't lose sight of the many ergonomic benefits this creature from a Parallel Universe offers! It marries the classic Tele body shape with the comfortable contours of a Strat, which makes for a comfortable, luxurious playing experience. \n\n\n\nSpeaking of luxurious, the Deep \"C\" neck profile is as accommodating as the maître d' at a five-star restaurant, and players of all styles will feel at home with the fretboard's modern 9.5\" radius. The expressive two-point synchronized tremolo system and the bone nut allow for superb tuning stability, too, so you can rest assured that you'll stay locked to A440hz when the addictive feel of this guitar sucks you into a two-hour practice session. \n\n\n\nWildwood Guitars is proud to present these magnificent hybrid creations, and we invite you to fall in love with a whole new breed of Fender guitars!","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51177201107219,"sku":"US17100289","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/us17100289_lg1.jpg?v=1745587745"},{"product_id":"1991-rickenbacker-355jl-john-lennon-limited-edition","title":"1991 Rickenbacker 355JL John Lennon Limited Edition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTicket to Chime\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWildwoodians, we've got your ticket to chime right here: a 1991 Rickenbacker 355JL John Lennon. Limited to only 2000 pieces, this run of Rickys were a tribute to John Lennon's original 325, but with a twist. Unlike Lennon's three-quarter-scale original, the 355JL has a 24.75\" scale length to accommodate players more used to traditional long-scale instruments. As a result, it is highly comfortable to play!\n\n\n\nSonically, it's an absolute joy. The three vintage toaster pickups in this bad boy nail the classic Rickenbacker chime and jangle. Close your eyes and crank up your amp and you might feel like you've been transported to a small club in Hamburg in 1962. The bridge pickup has tons of sparkle and bite, the middle pickup is sweeter with a broader midrange response, and the neck pickup is righteously smooth and warm with a lovely sunny high end. It's also supremely touch-sensitive! It sounds warm and glassy when you play softly, then the glass breaks in the best possible way when you dig in.\n\n\n\nThough it nails the classic jangle of the British Invasion, this guitar can also rock quite hard. Just for funsies, I plugged it into a pinned dirty channel, and it absolutely roared--easily the best rock tone I've gotten in some time! So, while this guitar may be a bit of a collector's item, don't get it twisted: it's a sonic powerhouse that's awfully difficult to put down.\n\n\n\nThe aesthetic details are all there, too. In fact, Rickenbacker busted out some original tooling to make sure the nameplate, pickguard, and headstock were all as accurate as can be. \n\n\n\nAll in all, this 355JL is glorious example of Rickenbacker style and tone, and once you harness its power, we have no doubt chime will be on your side.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition of Instrument\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nThis beautiful '91 Ricky 355JL is in fantastic shape.

Jimmy's new Tele only wore its stock white blonde finish for a little while before Syd Barret inspired him to affix eight mirrors to the body. Later, he would repaint his '59 with a sweet dragon design, and it would be his main stage and studio guitar for the rest of his time with the Yardbirds and for Led Zeppelin's first record.

Each Mirror Telecaster has a resonant ash body with a fifties-style nitrocellulose lacquer finish. As many Wildwoodians know, nitro finishes allow the wood to breathe and resonate like a vintage guitar. An electric guitar's tone comes primarily from the pickups, but this extra bit of resonance helps push things over the top into total sonic nirvana. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking of pickups, the Jimmy Page Custom '59 single-coils in this beast are jawdropping. The neck pickup is mellow, warm, and vocal, but those descriptors don't quite do it justice. Many Tele neck pickups can sound muted or boxy, but this one is open and three-dimensional. Its throaty, vocal timbre is quite inspiring for smooth lead playing, and the bottom end is quite round and beefy! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy contrast, the bridge pickup is much ruder.

You can string it through the body for a more standard Tele feel and sound if you want, but something magical happens when you top-load it. Top-loading reduces string tension, which results in a more articulate, percussive attack and a warmer overall timbre.

But, because the Mirror Telecaster has less string tension, you can rip fast leads and do big bends just as easily as you can on a 9.5\" radius. And, playing chords is easier to boot!

What makes this Strat so remarkable is its ability to sound ferocious without any ugly frequencies sticking out. It's the textbook definition of a punchy Strat.

The low-end is Goldilocks-approved, too. It always sounds robust and full, but it never forgets its manners. This fearsome Fessler also showcases excellent note separation.

Fender's new Acoustasonic Telecaster certainly is! Designed by the same fellow who came up with the idea for the Taylor T5z, the Acoustasonic Telecaster is one of the most versatile, innovative, and inspiring guitars to come out in the last decade. With its state-of-the-art Acoustic Engine (an AMAZING pickup system borne of a collaborative effort between Fender and Fishman) and Fender's Stringed Instrument Resonance System (SIRS), players are able to experience a wide variety of spectacular acoustic sounds with a mere flick of the wrist. And, should you desire more gristle, the Acoustasonic Telecaster comes equipped with an electric guitar pickup that roars with the best of them!\n\n\n\nWhether you're a couch picker, a hard-gigging road dog, or a studio wizard, you'll find a lot to love about the Acoustasonic Telecaster. So, let's take a closer look and see what makes it so special!\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNow I'm a Believer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nI have to admit, I felt a mixture of excitement and skepticism when the first batch of Acoustasonic Teles arrived. My taste in acoustic guitars leans to the traditionalist side of things, but I'm pragmatic enough to enjoy innovative new designs, and the buzz about these guitars was approaching fever pitch. Could they compete with big-bodied acoustics? Could they hang with electrics? Could they truly deliver the goods? I hoped so, but I had a few nagging doubts.\n\n\n\nIt took only a few minutes for me to see the light and become a believer. Certainly, their innovative electronics are responsible for much of the Acoustasonic's delights but before I get into that, I want to stress just how well they function as straight-up acoustic guitars. After I tuned one of these bad boys up for the first time, I started playing a couple of licks, and pretty soon half an hour had passed and I hadn't even plugged the amp in!\n\n\n\nWhen I finally got around to amplifying myself, I was absolutely blown away by Fender and Fishman's Acoustic Engine. It truly changes the game for plugged-in acoustic sounds, so let's take a deeper dive and see how it makes the Acoustasonic Telecaster the most dangerous Swiss Army knife out there.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Little Acoustic Engine That Could\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nA few years back, Fishman developed a DI pedal called the Aura that solved a problem that has vexed acoustic players for decades: how do you make an acoustic guitar sound natural when you're playing live? Fishman's answer was to take samples of legendary acoustic guitars recorded with nice mics and develop what they call \"images\" of the guitars. They used these images to create algorithms that cause the input signal to mimic the sonic characteristics of each venerated acoustic. Basically, the pedal did two things: it could make a plugged-in D-18 sound like a mic'd up D-18 (which is a HUGE difference), or it could make that same D-18 sound like, say, an L-00.\n\n\n\nFender spent countless hours working with Fishman to take this Aura technology to new levels of greatness. The pickup system has three elements: a magnetic noiseless Fender single coil that provides the electric voices, an undersaddle Fishman pickup that provides most of the acoustic tone, and the Fishman Acoustasonic Enhancer, a pickup used on several settings that follows the top's movement for to allow for greater dynamic response. Best of all, these pickups don't even require a battery to work! You can charge the pickups using a regular mini USB cable, and one four-hour charge will net you about 20 hours of play time.\n\n\n\nFrom there, the signal hits the Acoustic Engine, which gives you ten unique acoustic images to pick from. That may seem like a lot, but Fender and Fishman have done a marvelous job of making the Acoustic Engine easy to use. Let's take a look under the hood and see what inspiring tones we can find!\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA V-10 of Tone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nBefore we get started, let's address the question that is almost certainly bursting forth from your brain: how do you toggle between so many tones with such simple controls? Well, think of the Acoustic Engine as a V-10 engine: a complex machine, certainly, but all the driver has to worry about is putting the key in the ignition. Accessing the ten different tones requires only two knobs and a 5-way switch, and it couldn't be simpler. The knob closest to the soundhole is for volume, and the other one is called the \"Mod\" knob. It interacts with the five-way switch to give you more options.\n\n\n\nFor instance, position 5 (what would be the neck position on a Strat) with the mod knob rolled off sounds like a dreadnought with a Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides. When you spin the mod knob all the way back in the other direction, the Acoustasonic Telecaster sounds like a grand auditorium guitar with an Alpine Spruce top and rosewood back and sides. With the mod knob in the middle, it sounds like a blend of the two images (in other words, like a supremely focused D-28).\n\n\n\nHere's a quick guide to all the sonic landscapes the Acoustic Engine can carry you off to:\n\n\n\nPosition 5, Mod Knob Rolled Off: This one sounds like a dreadnought with a Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides. As I mentioned, this is meant to pay homage to the great Martin D-28. It sounds full-bodied and rich but mannered and clear, with plenty of satisfying bass response and sparkly highs.\n\n\n\nPosition 5, Mod Knob Full-On: With the mod knob full-on, it sounds like a Grand Auditorium with rosewood back and sides and an Alpine Spruce top: essentially, like a Taylor 814ce. Plenty of lush high-end overtones bloom above a warm, woody midrange and tight lows here!\n\n\n\nPosition 4, Mod Knob Rolled Off: There's no direct comparison to make for this image of a small-bodied acoustic with an Engelmann spruce top and maple back and sides, but it sounds killer: clear, transparent, and chime-y, with the clarity and fast decay maple is known for.\n\n\n\nPosition 4, Mod Knob Full-On: Here, the Acoustic Engine takes a trip to D-18 City. It emulates a dread with a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, and it does an excellent job. You can hear plenty of woody, broad midrange after the initial woody, percussive attack. The highs are open and the lows are muscular, and you can hear the fundamental assert itself with authority.\n\n\n\nPosition 3, Mod Knob Rolled Off: Here. The Acoustic Engine ratchets up the power in order to sound like a dreadnought with a spruce top and Brazilian rosewood back and sides. Brazilian rosewood is a holy grail tonewood, and its inimitable essence is tough to capture, but the Acoustic Engine does a marvelous job of recreating its warm, piano-like lows and glassy highs. It sounds like a woody, clear vintage D-28!\n\n\n\nPosition 3, Mod Knob Full-On: With the mod knob on full in position three, the Acoustasonic Telecaster still sounds like a dread with a spruce top and rosewood back and sides. However, it adds in the body pickup, which makes it sound livelier with more chime and sparkle in the high end and more boom in the lows. This is also a great position for players who use percussive slapping and tapping techniques in their acoustic playing, because the body pickup captures those sounds quite well.\n\n\n\nPosition 2, Mod Knob Rolled Off: This one is another dreadnought with a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, and it does a similarly excellent job of capturing the magic of this classic tonewood combination.\n\n\n\nPosition 2, Mod Knob Full-On: When you add more mod in position two, it blends in the Noiseless electric guitar pickup. With the mod knob full-on, electric and acoustic are evenly balanced. This is an excellent choice for anyone looking to broaden their sound for solo or full-band gigs.\n\n\n\nPosition 1, Mod Knob Rolled Off: This position full of classic Tele bridge position tone. You can find plenty of twang, sparkle, jangle, and bite here! Big chords are thick and satisfying but they stay clear, and single-note lines cut through the mix like a laser.\n\n\n\nPosition 1, Mod Knob Full-On: With the mod knob full on, the Acoustic Engine puts a little bit of extra gristle to your signal. This semi-overdriven tone has more sustain and girthiness, and it provides righteous rock vibes.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAlmost a Spitting Image\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nBefore we go any further, it's important to address a question that is no doubt bubbling forth from your consciousness: how close does the Acoustic Engine get to the sound of the instruments it pays homage to? I'll put it this way: the Acoustasonic Tele isn't going to make you want to sell your Taylor 814ce, or your D-18, or your Telecaster. But, it sounds close enough that each image can still compel you to lose yourself in the music, and that's what counts. It certainly doesn't feel like you're playing a Thinline acoustic, that's for sure! It'll never sound quite as rich as a vintage D-28, but it's not supposed to. It's supposed to be a Swiss Army knife that provides lots of spectacular flavors of acoustic tone in one box, and it accomplishes that with great aplomb.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDangerously Playable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nBut, the Acoustic Engine isn't the only thing that makes these instruments exceptional. The Acoustasonic Telecaster is also addictive sans electricity for two reasons: spectacular handfeel and the Stringed Instrument Resonance System. The handfeel part is easy to explain: it comes equipped with a modern deep C-shaped neck profile similar to the one you'd find on a production model USA-made Fender electric. It has a 12\" radius, which allows for low setups and easy bending, and narrow-tall frets. Narrow-tall frets are wonderful because they make bending easier and generally allow you to expend less effort with your left-hand.\n\n\n\nIn the end, it feels like you're playing an electric guitar with thicker strings. You have to work for it (the Acoustasonic Tele does come equipped with 12-gauge strings), but you can still perform big bends and all your other typical electric guitar moves. It really is an acoustic that feels like an electric-a godsend for players doing long acoustic gigs!\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThank you SIRS, May I Have Another?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nFender's Stringed Instrument Resonance System is an impressive feat of design that allows the Acoustasonic Telecaster to project enough to compete with other acoustic instruments in an unplugged jam. The design is genius. Fender's luthiers hollow out a solid piece of mahogany using a CNC machine for maximum precision, but they leave a lip on upon which they fix the solid spruce top. Because this lip offers so much stability and support, they don't need to use much bracing-just two transverse braces. The lighter the bracing, the more responsive the guitar is. And, its all-solid wood construction gives it a sweet, woody, midrange-forward tone, and the light bracing makes it quite dynamic and articulate.\n\n\n\nBut, it doesn't lose volume due to its light bracing because the soundhole port essentially functions as a speaker horn. So, while the Acoustasonic Tele's resonance may not compete with that of a dreadnought, it will certainly cut through enough to be heard if you're jamming unplugged. And, it will still capture the nuances and details of your playing faithfully.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Inspiration Machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nI've been struggling to find a way to summarize my thoughts on the Acoustasonic Telecaster. I've spent my whole eight-hour day writing about it thus far, and I have lots of important Big Ideas about how it will revolutionize live acoustic performance and make life easier in the studio. But I think the best encapsulation of the Acoustasonic Tele's merits is much simpler. I've been playing this guitar all day today (y'know, I've gotta do my due diligence and properly research my subject), and I've had about ten new ideas for riffs pop out of my hands. That right there is the magic of this guitar: it is an unstoppable inspiration-creating machine!\n\n\n\nSo, is it an acoustic or an electric? Who cares! It's a wonderful machine that will surely inspire all sorts of new ideas in your playing, and it's supremely practical for live and studio use. Wildwood Guitars is proud to showcase such an innovative instrument, and we know the Acoustasonic Telecaster will inspire you to reach new heights on your fretboard journey.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51184636297491,"sku":"US193389","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/us193389_lg1.jpg?v=1745598915"},{"product_id":"wildwood-spec-1959-flying-v","title":"Wildwood Spec 1959 Flying V","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTo V or Not to V\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo paraphrase a little-known English playwright and poet, \"To V, or not to V, that is hardly a question: especially when the V is of the Wildwood Spec variety.\" William Shakespeare may not have actually said that, but the sentiment is still accurate: there is no question as to whether or not you should V, because the new Wildwood Spec 1959 Flying Vs from Gibson Custom are cooler than Miles Davis eating a popsicle in the middle of a snowstorm in Greenland. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom Flop to Legend\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wildwood Spec Flying V is a stunning recreation of the first Flying Vs that arrived in the late fifties. Back then, the V's futuristic styling was a bit too avant-garde for the general public, and it flopped completely before Gibson discontinued it entirely. Later, when guitar players figured out that pointy guitars are awesome, these original examples became some of the most sought-after guitars in the world. Some serials fetch a cool quarter-million dollars on the used market! Since not all of us have mansions to mortgage for an original '59, we asked our friends at Gibson Custom to capture some of that vintage magic in a modern Custom Shop guitar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs they always do, the wizards at Gibson Custom delivered. They picked high-quality mahogany bodies that resonate with force and clarity, and plopped in two Wildwood Spec Custombuckers. These slightly-underwound PAF-inspired pickups have a ton of vintage mojo. They're woody and clear, but they have immense girth. The bridge pickup has plenty of rasp, punch, and snarl in the midrange to go with muscular lows and sunny, sweet highs. In the neck position, you'll find broad, throaty midrange along with warm, robust low-end and singing highs. Playing one of these  Wildwood Spec Vs is like stepping into a classic record, and we are sure their vintage vibes will inspire you to set fire to the fretboard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are proud to showcase the Wildwood Spec 1959 Flying V.

Over the last 35 years, we have partnered with them to produce all kinds of Wildwood-exclusive guitars, and we believe that those instruments are some of the finest in the world thanks to the incredible creativity, passion, and skill of the good people at Gibson. One project on our wish list always eluded us, though: we’ve never done a Wildwood-exclusive run of Gibson USA guitars. That is, until now! Wildwoodians, please meet the newest member of the Wildwood Family: the Wildwood Select Original Collection Les Paul Standard ‘50s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wildwood Select Les Paul is an attempt to capture some of the magic of our Wildwood Spec Custom Shop instruments in a more affordable package. Since we handpick the tops for our Custom Shop instruments, we asked our friends at the USA factory if we could do the same thing for this run. They were happy to oblige us, and we think you’ll agree that the cuts of maple we chose are absolutely stunning. Be sure to engage your drool-shield if you’re planning on scrolling through these guitars!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also asked them to spray that handpicked wood with a brand-new exclusive finish. With the helpful guidance of the Gibson team, we settled on a glorious dark cherry burst. This finish is a dark and rich maroon near the edges of the burst, and it lightens to more of a sunset orange in the middle with reddish-purple, light red, and golden hues in between. For us, it evokes the color of a sunset over the Rocky Mountains on a summer night, and it looks positively jaw-dropping on top of the lovely maple we picked out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Divine Sound of 1959\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, we asked Gibson to wind us an exclusive set of pickups, and they came up with some marvelous humbuckers for us. Here at Wildwood, we love PAFs the way Slash loves top hats, so we asked them to capture the sweet vintage tones of those magical fifties bursts. It was a tall order, to be sure, but the wizards at Gibson delivered. They wound us some Wildwood Spec ’59 Tribute pickups, and I could write a War and Peace-sized treatise about how awesome they are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut, for the sake of brevity, I’ll keep it to a few hundred words. These boss ‘buckers sound brawny and powerful while maintaining remarkable articulation and clarity. They are also extremely touch-sensitive, which makes for a wonderfully dynamic, expressive playing experience. When you dig in, you are rewarded with glorious snarling tone that makes you want to turn your amplifier all the way up and irritate all your neighbors. When you ease off with your right hand, the tone becomes rounder, warmer, sweeter, and more vocal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the bridge position, the low-end is tight and muscular, the midrange punches like Ali, and the highs have just the right amount of sweet, sugary chime.

They are renowned for their beauty and snowflake-like uniqueness; after all, each one had a different level of flame in the maple top, and each finish received a different amount of UV light, which drastically changes the color of the finish. So, no two are alike, and that's the beauty of the burst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd there aren't many originals to compare, because Gibson made less than 2,000 Les Pauls between 1958 and 1960. Near the tail end of that run, they started putting slimmer necks on them. These guitars had lightning-fast feel that appealed to lots of rock and blues guitar players in the '60s (though some of them had '59 neck profiles--more on that later!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of these players, a young British man named Eric Clapton, touched off the British blues revolution and the Les Paul renaissance by playing his '60--nicknamed \"Beano\"--on John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers' album of the same name. Another young British fellow named Jimmy Page made a few classic records that you might have heard with his '60 LP. Meanwhile, a young American guitarist with a '60 got the funk right on his 49th try with his band, the James Gang--yup, Joe Walsh played a '60, too! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, an original '60 Les Paul will run you somewhere in the neighborhood of three-hundred grand. So, we are delighted to report that our friends at Gibson have decided to celebrate the '60 LP's 60th anniversary in style by reissuing a Historic Anniversary edition. Using time-consuming old-world manufacturing processes and incredible materials, the wizards and warlocks of the Gibson Custom Shop have captured the vibe of 1960 in these imminently playable, drool-inducing guitars. Let's take a closer look and see what makes them so special! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaximum Resonance for Monster Tone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll great electric guitars begin with killer raw materials, and these 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Pauls are no exception. After all, it's impossible when you pair a premium maple top with a select mahogany body. This classic tonewood combination produces a warm, rich, round unamplified sound with just the right amount of cut and articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHide glue is another source of Custom Shop magic. It's a protein-based adhesive, and when you use it to attach two pieces of wood together, it allows for maximum energy transfer. Though hide glue is extremely difficult to work with, the Custom Shop wizards use it to secure each and every point of connection on reissue Les Pauls. This pays incredible dividends to each instrument's tone. So, these Les Pauls showcase world-beating resonance and sustain!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBeautiful 'Buckers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it is nigh-impossible to make rock and roll music without electricity, so let's talk about the wires within the wood. Each 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul comes equipped with two Alnico III Custombuckers, and they are stunning recreations of vintage PAFs. They punch, bark, bite, rasp, and snarl with the best of them, and they have a good balance of richness and clarity. The mids are woody, the highs sing with inimitable sweetness, and the lows are pure sculpted muscle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, these luscious Lesters come equipped with old-school paper-in-oil capacitors. These true-to-vintage components improve high-end transparency and impart a bit of extra treble cut. So, the warm, beefy humbucking pickups sound supremely balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGoin' Like '60\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo celebrate the 1960 Les Paul's sixtieth birthday, Gibson pulled out all of the stops to create three historically-accurate versions of the model that document its evolution: the V1, the V2, and the V3. Each guitar comes in different finishes that represent the variations we see in the finishes on original bursts, too! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V1 is meant to represent the earliest Les Pauls produced in the first months of 1960 before Gibson changed the Les Paul's neck profile. So, they have the same Authentic '59 Medium C-Shaped neck profile as the '59, and they come in a classic Deep Cherry Sunburst or a gorgeous Antiquity Burst finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2 is meant to evoke the classic '60 Les Paul, and it has the same Authentic '60 Slim C neck profile that made Eric Clapton fall in love with the Les Paul he nicknamed \"Beano.\" It comes in two finishes as well: a stunning Orange Lemon Fade and a delectable Tomato Soup burst. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the V3 is meant to evoke the guitars that captured the hearts of Jimmy Page and Joe Walsh. They have an Authentic Skinny '60 C neck profile that is imminently shreddable, and they come in two finishes: a marvelous Wide Tomato Burst and a sah-weet Washed Bourbon Burst. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIt's All In the Little Things\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGibson has also gotten all of the little things right for each version of the 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard. These guitars come decked out with all sorts of period-correct cosmetic appointments. We're talking laminated cellulose butyrate pickguards, authentic stepped 2-ply truss rod covers, amber butyrate top hat knobs with silver inserts, amber catalin switch tips, black royalite control covers, aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays, and authentic profile nickel-silver pickup rings. Those may seem like small details, but Gibson's attention to such vintage minutiae really gives you an unparalleled sense of immersion when you pick up one of these 60th Anniversary Les Pauls.

Though Double Agent Warhawk may have a cryptic name, it provides a remarkably inviting playing experience thanks to a host of player-friendly appointments and a stellar combination of pickups. The resonant korina body provides a warm, balanced, harmonically lively basic tone, and the set-neck construction gives it a bit of extra sustain and resonance.\n\n\n\nWith an excellent basic tone established by the tonewoods, the HA5 humbucker in the bridge position and 9A5 P-90 in the neck position provide players with a thick dossier of classic tones.

Your support has allowed our friends at Fender to really break new ground and create something fresh, exciting, and bold. However, given that the concept of a \"Relic-Ready\" finish is relatively new to the world of guitars, we wanted to add some notes to clarify what you should expect from a Relic-Ready instrument. \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\n\nRelic-Ready finishes are much, much different than NOS finishes because they only have three or four layers of clear coat. Because the finish is so incredibly thin, Relic-Ready instruments begin the natural relic-ing process the moment they are fully assembled. Since these finishes are designed to wear quickly, sometimes Relic-Readies arrive at our shop having already begun their journey to vintage mojo. So, you can expect things like light dings, small spots where the finish has burned through, light scratching, and checking in the neck pocket. However, you can be assured that your instrument will NOT have any full-body checking from weather, deep scratches, or major dings\/blemishes. As always, if you'd like more information about the condition of each particular serial, please don't hesitate to reach out for an in-hand description.\n\n\n\nWith Relic-Readies, our idea was to allow the player to write their own story into the finish of each guitar. But, sometimes the process of getting the guitar to you adds a little foreword to the finish to help you get started. For more information about all things Relic-Ready, read on!\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelic-Ready to Rumble\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nOver the years, Wildwood Guitars has sold thousands of relic'd Fender guitars. The incredible response that we've gotten from our Wildwood Tens is proof that most of the guitar-playing world loves instruments that marry modern convenience with vintage look, feel, and sound. We've also learned that there are plenty of pickers out there that like the distressed vintage look, but feel a little strange about playing a guitar that they didn't relic themselves through everyday use. For these guitarists, each ding and scratch is a punctuation mark in the story of their instrument, and they want to be in charge of what happens in the tale of their axe.\n\n\n\nObviously, this is easier said than done. If you want to make an NOS finish look vintage through good 'ol fashioned playwear, you usually have to play it for so long that it actually becomes vintage in the process. You could put your guitar in a trash bag of burned leaves and relic it yourself like one of my coworkers, but your house will smell horrible the moment you bring it inside. Frankly, few people have enough resources, energy, or training to make it look as good as the Fender Custom Shop's builders can.\n\n\n\nSo, these players have been in a pickle until now. How do you make a new guitar look vintage without having to wait thirty years or resort to crazy schemes involving bags of burning leaves? Well, we at Wildwood Guitars are proud to introduce our answer: a new line of Wildwood Tens that we have dubbed \"relic-readies.\"\n\n\n\nThese Custom Shop creations are just like the heavy-relic guitars that have been a shop staple for years-same wood, same electronics, same hardware, and same outstanding build quality-except we snatch them away from Fender before they have a chance to actually do the relic job. The result is a guitar that accumulates wear-and-tear at an exponentially higher rate than normal. So, it'll look like a guitar that's been gigged for thirty years after just a couple birthdays. Finally, YOU can be the one to make your guitar look vintage!\n\n\n\nAfter playing and ogling the first batch of these guitars, we feel confident that this line is easily one of the coolest collaborations in the history of our friendship with Fender's Custom Shop! At Wildwood, we've been doing our best to tell our guitars' stories as faithfully as we can for thirty-four years. Now, we are excited to step aside and give the reins to our exceptional customers. What sort of interesting tales will you carve into these finishes? We can't wait to find out with you!\n\n\n\n\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? 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.\n\n\n\nEach 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.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFabulous Fifty-Fives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nBy 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.

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":51189122171155,"sku":"CZ545430","price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/cz545430_lg1.jpg?v=1745607018"},{"product_id":"american-professional-ii-stratocaster-33","title":"American Professional II Stratocaster","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProfessional Powerhouses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nThey call it the American Professional II series for a simple reason: each guitar is a professional-quality American-made instrument that you can gig with night in and night out.

The attack is round and springy with some delicious musical compression that really makes the percussive quality of the attack come through.

It does the classic Precision sound as well or better than just about any thud staff that has graced Wildwood's shelves, and its iconic tone works in just about any genre or context (who needs a Swiss Army knife when you can cut through with a broadsword?). \n\n\n\nWe're proud to showcase this beastly bass, and we have no doubt its pugnacious Precision tone will inspire you to bring the thump! \n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWildwoodians, it is our privilege to showcase this incredible 1965 Fender Precision Bass. The neck dates to November of 1965, it's an absolutely titanic low-end beast, and it looks cool as all-git-out thanks to its really cool vintage wear. It has lots of awesome checking and other battle scars that tell the story of a bass that has been a workhorse for much of its life. All parts appear to be original and function well (although the E string tuner is a little sloppy, it's not bad by any means). The frets show some moderate wear--always a sign that a vintage piece is hard to put down! By the look of it, it has undergone one repair to the finish on the bass-side lower bout, which occurred prior to when the previous owner acquired it in 1972. Overall, it's in fantastic shape, and it is sure to bring any Fender fanatic seeking low-end thunder a ton of musical joy.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51196603367699,"sku":"WWCONFD110345","price":13999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/wwconfd110345_lg1.jpg?v=1745618156"},{"product_id":"wildwood-10-relic-ready-1955-telecaster-thinline-2","title":"Wildwood 10 Relic-Ready 1955 Telecaster Thinline","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWildwoodians, thank you for making Relic-Ready Custom Shop Fenders such a massive success! Your support has allowed our friends at Fender to really break new ground and create something fresh, exciting, and bold. However, given that the concept of a \"Relic-Ready\" finish is relatively new to the world of guitars, we wanted to add some notes to clarify what you should expect from a Relic-Ready instrument. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelic-Ready finishes are much, much different than NOS finishes because they only have three or four layers of clear coat. Because the finish is so incredibly thin, Relic-Ready instruments begin the natural relic-ing process the moment they are fully assembled. Since these finishes are designed to wear quickly, sometimes Relic-Readies arrive at our shop having already begun their journey to vintage mojo. So, you can expect things like light dings, small spots where the finish has burned through, light scratching, and checking in the neck pocket. However, you can be assured that your instrument will NOT have any full-body checking from weather, deep scratches, or major dings\/blemishes. As always, if you'd like more information about the condition of each particular serial, please don't hesitate to reach out for an in-hand description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Relic-Readies, our idea was to allow the player to write their own story into the finish of each guitar. But, sometimes the process of getting the guitar to you adds a little foreword to the finish to help you get started. For more information about all things Relic-Ready, read on!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRelic-Ready to Rumble\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, Wildwood Guitars has sold thousands of relic’d Fender guitars. The incredible response that we’ve gotten from our Wildwood Tens is proof that most of the guitar-playing world loves instruments that marry modern convenience with vintage look, feel, and sound. We’ve also learned that there are plenty of pickers out there that like the distressed vintage look, but feel a little strange about playing a guitar that they didn’t relic themselves through everyday use. For these guitarists, each ding and scratch is a punctuation mark in the story of their instrument, and they want to be in charge of what happens in the tale of their ax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously, this is easier said than done. If you want to make an NOS finish look vintage through good ‘ol fashioned playwear, you usually have to play it for so long that it actually becomes vintage in the process. You could put your guitar in a trash bag of burned leaves and relic it yourself like one of my coworkers, but your house will smell horrible the moment you bring it inside. Frankly, few people have enough resources, energy, or training to make it look as good as the Fender Custom Shop’s builders can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, these players have been in a pickle until now. How do you make a new guitar look vintage without having to wait thirty years or resort to crazy schemes involving bags of burning leaves? Well, we at Wildwood Guitars are proud to introduce our answer: a new line of Wildwood Tens that we have dubbed “relic-readies.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Custom Shop creations are just like the heavy-relic guitars that have been a shop staple for years—same wood, same electronics, same hardware, and same outstanding build quality—except we snatch them away from Fender before they have a chance to actually do the relic job. The result is a guitar that accumulates wear-and-tear at an exponentially higher rate than normal. So, it’ll look like a guitar that’s been gigged for thirty years after just a couple birthdays. Finally, YOU can be the one to make your guitar look vintage!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter playing and ogling the first batch of these guitars, we feel confident that this line is easily one of the coolest collaborations in the history of our friendship with Fender’s Custom Shop!

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.

After getting his start in various local and regional acts, he joined modern industrial music titans Nine Inch Nails in 1994 and toured the world as their lead guitarist. He then spent the next couple decades ping-ponging back and forth between NIN and the re-formed Guns 'n' Roses (fun fact: he co-wrote much of Chinese Democracy, and played all the leads and solos!). In between those endeavors, he found time to tour with a traveling Cirque Du Soleil show. Throughout all his musical adventures, his fretboard acrobatics and impeccable taste have remained a constant. Now, our friends at Reverend have come up with an awesome signature model guitar to further enhance his legendary stage swagger. \n\n\n\nThe cornerstone of the Robin Finck Signature is a resonant, lively, punchy-sounding korina body that produces a rich, three-dimensional unamplified tone. The ebony fretboard gives it a fast-playing feel and a bit of extra snappiness and enhanced articulation, too. \n\n\n\nWhen you electrify, two Railhammer Chisel humbuckers pump out glorious sculpted punchy tone perfect for any variety of rock or metal, or any genre that requires clarity, precision, and heat. The Railhammer design (which sprang from Reverend founder Joe Naylor's brain) is ingenious. The rail polepieces under the bass strings tighten up the bass response to surgically remove muddy low-end frequencies and the round polepieces under the treble strings make high notes sound meatier and fuller. This gives the Robin Finck Signature excellent balance and note separation. And, you can roll off Reverend's signature bass contour knob to achieve a brighter, single-coil-esque flavor if you need to change things up a bit. \n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePower to the Player\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nReverend has kitted out the Robin Finck Signature with a metric ton of appointments that enhance the player's experience and while making the instrument supremely reliable.

Let's take a close look and see what makes the Roundhouse so inspiring! \n\n\n\nBy matching the Roundhouse's korina body to the aforementioned maple top, the fine folks at Reverend have put a fresh spin on a classic tonewood combination. Korina shares many sonic characteristics with mahogany (it's warm, punchy, well-balanced, and even), but it's livelier and it has more overtone presence in the highs. Maple, on the other hand, tends to impart brightness, cut, and clarity when used for an electric guitar top. So, the Roundhouse 2 sounds similar to the classic single-cut maple-topped guitars of yore, but with a bit of extra sparkle and a slightly sunnier attitude. \n\n\n\nSpeaking of classic sounds, let's talk about the Reverend Alnico 5 humbucker sitting atop that lovely cut of maple. They \u003cem\u003enail\u003c\/em\u003e the two iconic archetypical single-cut sounds. With the bass contour on full, they nail the big, rich, thick sound that was a hallmark of many jean-jacketed seventies rockers and blues masters like Clapton while maintaining modern articulation and clarity. When you roll off the bass contour, you get the \"Tele-On-Steroids\" sound that guys like Jimmy Page favored: woody, snappy, and articulate, but with plenty of mass and depth.

That might sound hyperbolic, but it's really quite a reasonable thing to say. Every other great invention in the modern era has changed drastically after its initial birth. Model Ts share only four wheels and a steering wheel in common with modern Fords, and modern planes look like alien technology compared to the Wright Brothers' original contraption (and anyway, you can't play the blues on a fighter jet, so who cares, anyway?).\n\n\n\nBy contrast, the modern Telecaster is almost exactly the same as the first prototype Leo Fender built in 1950. More impressively, this guitar-which was originally built to cater to the tastes of Western swing guitarists before rock and roll was even a twinkle in Chuck Berry's eye-found devotees in every musical genre under the sun. What's the secret behind the wide-ranging, lasting appeal of the original design? Well, frankly, the answer is simple: the Telecaster is a perfect instrument, and you can't improve on perfection.\n\n\n\nOf course, hindsight is always 20\/20, and the Telecaster wasn't even close to a sure thing when it debuted. In fact, when Fred Gretsch first laid eyes on the Tele he said: \"that thing will never sell.\" When it was unveiled, players scoffed and called it a \"boat paddle\" and a \"snow shovel.\" We can forgive these pessimistic pickers for their skepticism; after all, in 1950, solid-body guitars were considered a novelty. Sure, Les Paul had his Log, and Merle Travis had his Bigsby solid-body, but there had never been a production-model solid-body guitar before. Hollow- and semi-hollowbodies ruled the guitar world, and it seemed ridiculous to imagine anything supplanting them.\n\n\n\nOf course, history would vindicate Leo. In the eight or so decades since the Telecaster's invention, it has been responsible for some of the most magical musical moments of all time. The solo on \"Stairway to Heaven,\" the crashing chords that open The Clash's \"Should I Stay or Should I Go,\" and the sweet fingerpicking on Jeff Buckley's transcendent version of \"Hallelujah\" all sprang from the fretboard of a Fender Telecaster. Everyone from heady punk rockers like D Boon to avant-jazz cats like Bill Frisell to soul sidemen like Steve Cropper to otherworldly virtuosos like Danny Gatton all adopted the Telecaster as their instrument of choice.\n\n\n\nSo, what is the source of the Telecaster's universal appeal across genres and its incredible staying power? What makes it so perfect? Two words: elegant simplicity. The Telecaster is an incredibly simple guitar. It's a plank of wood with a bolt-on neck, two pickups, two knobs, one switch, a bridge, and six tuners. It's a completely unpretentious workhorse that cuts a striking figure with its iconic rounded cutaway, clean lines, and curvy shape.\n\n\n\nYet despite its simplicity, it's one of the most versatile guitars on the planet. You can't cop a million sounds on a Telecaster, but the ones you can dial in work in just about any musical context. The bridge pickup usually has punchy midrange, cutting highs, and thumping bass, while the neck pickup has broader midrange response, smoother highs, and woodier, warmer bass response. The middle position is a balanced, full-sounding blend of the two. So, Telecaster players have an ideal bright, aggressive sound, a delightfully warm, mellow sound, and a pleasant middle ground between the two at their disposal at all times! When you get down to brass tacks, that's all you really need as a guitar player. With one three-way selector switch, you can get the right tones for just about any live gig or recording session, and look good doing it!\n\n\n\nWe're proud to showcase our selection of Telecasters for our exceptional customers, and we invite you to gaze at this gorgeous NAMM Limited '61 Telecaster. After a couple minutes of ogling, we think you'll agree: eight decades after its birth in Leo Fender's shop, the Telecaster is still the picture of perfection.","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51198686331155,"sku":"CZ555457","price":4700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/cz555457_lg1.jpg?v=1745621815"},{"product_id":"wildwood-10-1962-telecaster-heavy-relic-3","title":"Wildwood 10 1962 Telecaster - Heavy Relic","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?

While nothing in the tone formula needed to be tweaked (hey, no need to fix what isn't broken, right?), Fender did want to put a more refined spin on the Telecaster. Enter the Custom Telecaster, a guitar that was essentially the tried-and-true Tele design dressed up in its evening best. By adding binding to the top and back of a resonant ash or alder body, Fender imparted a little extra elegance to the Tele design for a slight upcharge.\n\n\n\nOur Wildwood 10 1962 Custom Telecaster captures the sophisticated looks and classic tone of the sixties originals. They sport a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that allows for maximum resonance along with hand-wound Custom Shop electronics and a rosewood fretboard. Speaking of fretboards, the period-correct neck shapes feature a modern 10\" radius and narrow-tall 6105 frets. So, you get comfortable modern ergonomics AND vintage-style tone and mojo. We invite you to browse our selection of spectacular 1962 Custom Telecasters. We're sure that you'll find one you love amongst the many colors, relic'd finishes, and neck shapes on tap. We invite you to take one for a spin and experience the magic of a Wildwood 10 1962 Custom Telecaster.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePickup Rundown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWildwoodians, 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. \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":51198910693651,"sku":"R115856","price":4680.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r115856_lg1.jpg?v=1745622231"},{"product_id":"2021-limited-1965-telecaster-custom-heavy-relic","title":"2021 Limited 1965 Telecaster Custom - Heavy Relic","description":"\u003cp\u003eForget the automobile, the fighter jet, and Cheez Whiz: the Fender Telecaster is the greatest invention of the last two centuries. That might sound hyperbolic, but it’s really quite a reasonable thing to say. Every other great invention in the modern era has changed drastically after its initial birth. Model Ts share only four wheels and a steering wheel in common with modern Fords, and modern planes look like alien technology compared to the Wright Brothers’ original contraption (and anyway, you can’t play the blues on a fighter jet, so who cares, anyway?).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy contrast, the modern Telecaster is almost exactly the same as the first prototype Leo Fender ever built in 1950. More impressively, this guitar—which was originally built to cater to the tastes of Western swing guitarists before rock and roll was even a twinkle in Chuck Berry’s eye—found devotees in every musical genre under the sun. What’s the secret behind the wide-ranging, lasting appeal of the original design? Well, frankly, the answer is simple: the Telecaster is a perfect instrument, and you can’t improve on perfection.\u003cbr\u003e\nOf course, hindsight is always 20\/20, and the Telecaster wasn’t even close to a sure thing when it debuted. In fact, when Fred Gretsch first laid eyes on the Tele he said “that thing will never sell.” When it was unveiled, players scoffed and called it a “boat paddle” and a “snow shovel.” We can forgive these pessimistic pickers for their skepticism; after all, in 1950, solid-body guitars were considered a novelty. Sure, Les Paul had his Log, and Merle Travis had his Bigsby solid-body, but there had never been a production-model solid-body guitar before. Hollow- and semi-hollowbodies ruled the guitar world, and it seemed ridiculous to imagine anything supplanting them. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, history would vindicate Leo. In the eight or so decades since the Telecaster’s invention, it has been responsible for some of the most magical musical moments of all time. The solo on “Stairway to Heaven,” the crashing chords that open The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go,” and the sweet fingerpicking on Jeff Buckley’s transcendent version of “Hallelujah” all sprang from the fretboard of a Fender Telecaster. Everyone from heady punk rockers like D Boon to avant-jazz cats like Bill Frisell to soul sidemen like Steve Cropper to otherworldly virtuosos like Danny Gatton all adopted the Telecaster as their instrument of choice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, what is the source of the Telecaster’s universal appeal across genres and its incredible staying power? What makes it so perfect? Two words: elegant simplicity. The Telecaster is an incredibly simple guitar. It’s a plank of wood with a bolt-on neck, two pickups, two knobs, one switch, a bridge, and six tuners. It’s a completely unpretentious workhorse that cuts a striking figure with its iconic rounded cutaway, clean lines, and curvy shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet despite its simplicity, it’s one of the most versatile guitars on the planet. You can’t cop a million sounds on a Telecaster, but the ones you can dial in work in just about any musical context.  The bridge pickup usually has punchy midrange, cutting highs, and thumping bass, while the neck pickup has broader midrange response, smoother highs, and woodier, warmer bass response. The middle position is a balanced, full-sounding blend of the two. So, Telecaster players have an ideal bright, aggressive sound, a delightfully warm, mellow sound, and a pleasant middle ground between the two at their disposal at all times! When you get down to brass tacks, that’s all you really need as a guitar player. With one three-way selector switch, you can get the right tones for just about any live gig or recording session, and look good doing it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re proud to showcase our selection of Telecasters for our exceptional customers, and we invite you to gaze at the cornucopia of beautiful guitars on this page.

The Reverend Contender RB is a brand new design that marries Reverend's iconic retro-futurist style with the classic single-cut body shape, and it is a lean, mean rock and roll machine!\n\n\n\nThe first reason that the Contender is in the hunt for the title is great defe--I mean, its resonant korina body. Korina sounds similar to the mahogany used to build the classic single-cuts of yore, but with a couple of key differences. Like mahogany, it sounds warm, punchy, and round, but it has more harmonic content in the high-end and is generally a bit livelier.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMini-Hum Magic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nKorina and Reverend's new Retroblast mini-humbuckers are made for one another. These marvelous mini-hums have the punching power and muscle of a regular 'bucker, but they are tighter and brighter, and they have a P-90-esque chime in the high-end. They have exceptional string separation and clarity, and they manage to sound robust while maintaining sculpted frequency response. Personally, they sit smack-dab in the center of the Goldilocks Zone for me: beefy enough that I feel like a rockstar when I play a big E chord through a distorted amp but articulate enough to handle complex chords and intricate rhythms. Single-notes are punchy enough to cut through a mix, but they have plenty of mass, too.\n\n\n\nNot to mention, these RB pickups really play well with Reverend's famed bass contour knob. When you roll it off, the neck pickup has a Gilmour-esque vocal quack, and the bridge pickup sounds like a whiteguard T-style pickup on steroids. With these two additional sounds at your disposal, you can cop just about any sound you need at the gig, jam, or recording session.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePower to the Player\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nReverend has kitted out the Contender RB with a metric ton of appointments that enhance the player's experience and while making the instrument supremely reliable. The medium oval neck profile is home to 22 0.110\" wide x 0.050\" high frets and a fingerboard with a 12\" radius, a configuration well-suited to most techniques and playing styles (and, it's \u003cem\u003eespecially\u003c\/em\u003e good for bending strings). Also, it has pin-lock tuners and a Boneite nut to ensure excellent tuning stability, and it comes equipped with boutique-quality pots and caps and a Pure Tone jack for consistent sound.\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eContender for the Six-String Crown\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThe Contender RB is a workhorse mini-hum-equipped monster that can excel in a wide variety of genres.

Tom is a legend in the world of guitars, and instruments bearing his name have acquired a deservedly sterling reputation due to their outstanding tone, jaw-dropping looks, and stunning vintage accuracy. But, he wasn't always a rockstar of lutherie. In fact, he worked as a professional touring musician for many years, and during that time he became intimately acquainted with vintage guitars: how they sound, how they feel, and how they look. After deciding to stop touring, Tom got a job as a finish specialist at Gibson and eventually became a project manager in charge of the first reissues of the 1959 Les Paul standard.\n\n\n\nFor a while, Tom also gained valuable experience working as a luthier to the stars, and his client list included luminaries like Jimmy Page, Dickey Betts, Joe Perry, Billy Gibbons, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, and Gary Rossington.\n\n\n\nNow, things have come full circle, and our friends at Gibson have handed Tom the keys to a brand-new institution of sonic savagery within the Gibson Custom Shop: the Murphy Lab. Tom and his team of skilled craftspeople have one mission, and one mission only: to create the most ridiculously awesome recreations of vintage Gibson guitars that the world has ever seen.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStep Into the Lab\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nMurphy Lab is aptly named because it is basically the musical equivalent of what happens when you give a mad scientist a laboratory fully stocked with warp drives and flux capacitors. With a plethora of resources behind them, Tom and his team have been able to create guitars that are essentially carbon copies of vintage Gibsons. They look, feel, and sound so close to the originals that it's downright scary.\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePainted by Tom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWildwood has a long and storied history of collaboration with Tom Murphy, and the Wildwood Spec by Tom Murphy series is one of the most popular runs of guitars in Wildwood history. Because Tom is an awesome guy, he is still going to hand-paint some Murphy Lab guitars for us when he can. With his master's touch, Tom puts an absolutely exquisite finish on these guitars before handing them over to the Murphy Lab team for aging. These guitars are an opportunity to experience the handiwork of a true master craftsman, and we are privileged to showcase them.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Fantabulous Fifty-Eight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nThis particular Murphy Lab marvel is a reissue of a 1958 Les Paul Standard, one of the coolest and most historically-significant guitars in Gibson's history. In 1958, the Standard model received a makeover as Gibson swapped the finish from an opaque gold to a more transparent burst that highlighted the grain of the wood. The spirits of those \"first bursts\" are alive and well in this reissue! It has an uber-comfy chunky C-shaped neck profile and historically-correct narrow-tall frets, and that combination makes for a wonderful playing experience.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWildwood Spec-Tacular\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nBecause our friends at Gibson are the coolest people ever, they were kind enough to allow us to have exclusive Wildwood Spec Murphy Lab guitars. Basically, these guitars receive a little bit of extra fairy dust in the build process that makes them a bit more magical. All tops are hand-picked for exceptional beauty, and they are so beautiful that the cases should probably come with a built-in drool shield!\n\n\n\nBut, they're not just pretty faces: they're also absolute sonic titans thanks to their pickups. Each one of these guitars comes equipped with Wildwood Spec Custombuckers, and they (to use a very scientific term) totally rule. They are brimming with vintage flavor, and they capture the sound of an old PAF beautifully. The fine folks who make Gibson's pickups also added a little bit of extra secret sauce that improves their articulation, dynamism, and clarity, too.

In 1976, just a couple years after he started playing, he built a body to pair with a custom neck Bob Benedetto made him. He sent it off to a well-reputed repairman to have stars inlaid on the fingerboard. When he went to pick it up after months of waiting, he was rather disappointed to find his guitar looking worse than when he dropped it off. In a rage, John Suhr did his best Pete Townshend impression and smashed his guitar to bits before vowing to just do all his repair work himself. That do-it-yourself spirit is still at the core of everything Suhr does. Throughout their history, there is a common theme: when no one can meet John Suhr's exacting standards for quality, he and his team just figure out a way to do it themselves.\n\n\n\nYou can trace John's DIY work ethic to the man who built the neck on the guitar he smashed, Robert Benedetto. John would hang around the renowned archtop builder's shop and ask for tips on lutherie as a young man, and he received some excellent advice in return for his persistence. In an interview from a 2009 edition of Musician's Hotline, he said that Mr. Benedetto told him \"If you want to do this, you will just jump in. You don't need lessons-you either have what it takes or you don't.\"\n\n\n\nJohn Suhr set out to prove that he had what it took. He took a job as a repairman at Rudy's Music Shop, a store on 48th Street in New York that happened to be a Schecter parts dealer (back in the eighties, Shecter was a parts supplier renowned for their high-quality bodies and necks). Pretty soon, on a small workbench in the boiler room, John was assembling these parts into kit guitars to sell in the showroom. Soon, these guitars-branded with John and Rudy's last names on the headstock-attracted quite a bit of attention. Lou Reed and Mark Knopfler both started gigging with their Pensa-Suhrs, and business was booming.\n\n\n\nBut, John Suhr grew restless and dove deep into the world of electronics. He did some mad scientist experiments on a Marshall head and talked to the owner of Custom Audio Electronics, Bob Bradshaw, about it. Bob begged him to move to California to design amps for him. There, John designed the legendary OD-100 head and the 3+ preamp, both of which were huge hits.\n\n\n\nAfter wiring racks and building amps for a few years, John got the urge to build guitars again, and he signed on as a Senior Master Builder at the Fender Custom Shop. There, he built countless amps and guitars as he further honed his craft. After a few years, John decided to go his own way and start his own company so he could be responsible for each and every detail of every guitar.\n\n\n\nRight about then, John met a CNC programmer and software rep named Steve Smith. Steve told John that if John could draw the guitars he saw in his head on a CAD machine, he could make a CNC machine build it. They forged a partnership, and together they started Suhr.\n\n\n\nOver the course of the last twenty-plus years, Steve and John have remained committed to using modern technology to capture the mojo of old instruments and replicate it in new instruments that are easy to play. Their obsessive attention to detail and maniacal drive for excellence have led them to set industry standards for tone, playability, fit, and finish. And, they still have a DIY spirit, literally-up until 2008, John did the finish for every single Suhr himself!\n\n\n\nJohn may not finish every guitar himself these days, but his dedication to quality is apparent in each and every serial. We're proud to present this beautiful Suhr, and we know it will inspire you to no end.","brand":"Suhr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51200727253267,"sku":"67334","price":4299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/67334_lg1.jpg?v=1745625544"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/collections\/electric-guitars_4d6c48d6-7e11-43d7-9533-eaf91d19f996.png?v=1754974657","url":"https:\/\/wildwoodguitars.com\/collections\/electric-guitars.oembed?page=22","provider":"Wildwood Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
