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. The midrange is snappy in an authoritative way, with a focused, punchy and snarling sound that practically compels all eardrums within range to stand at attention. Also, the top end is lush, and you can hear lots of beautiful chiming bell-like overtones. Finally, the low end is tight but present.

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!

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":false}],"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.

These awesome axes rank above Christopher Columbus on any reputable list of the greatest explorers of all time, so let’s take a closer look and see why they always make Wildwood employees stop in their tracks whenever they see or hear one!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magic of the modern Explorer begins with the quality mahogany Gibson uses to make the bodies and necks. They select each cut of wood with the utmost care, and this ultimately leads to guitars of exceptional resonance and beauty. To electrify the sweet sounds these tonewoods create, Gibson called upon the services of their Burstbucker pickups. These hellacious humbuckers are based on the legendary PAF pickups of yore, and they put a delightful modern spin on the classic Gibson sound. The Burstbucker 2 in the neck position is slightly underwound, and this gives it a sweet, singing top-end, woody midrange response, and deep-yet-articulate lows. By contrast, the Burstbucker 3 in the bridge position is overwound, so it has punchy, snarling midrange to go with biting highs and tight, muscular lows. You would be hard-pressed to find a genre or situation in which these two sounds would not impress everyone with working eardrums!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s the Explorer in a nutshell: sure, it looks flashy enough to make anyone you’re interested in romantically swoon and become weak in the knees after you bust out that two-handed tapping lick you’ve been working on (at least, that’s how it always plays out in my daydreams!), but all that space-age swagger belies the Explorer’s incredible versatility and spectacular tone. Even if it had plain-Jane looks, the Explorer would still be an amazing instrument with a sound that works for everything from rock to metal to country to punk. The fact that it’s cooler than Miles Davis eating ice cream in an igloo is just a bonus! We invite you to experience the joy of pointy guitars by playing an Original Collection Explorer, because we know it will bring you endless inspiration (and give you 500 cool points!).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51190013624595,"sku":"206800213","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/206800213_lg1.jpg?v=1745608328"},{"product_id":"wildwood-10-1957-stratocaster-33","title":"Wildwood 10 1957 Stratocaster - Heavy Relic","description":"\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?

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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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 (fun fact: he brought Peter Frampton's iconic Les Paul Custom back from the dead after it had been resting in pieces in the debris of a crashed cargo plane for three decades!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, 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.

They look, feel, and sound so close to the originals that it's downright scary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do Tom and his team achieve such unparalleled vintage-accuracy? Well, first off, Tom has discovered a brand-new formula for nitrocellulose lacquer that mimics the properties of 1950s and ‘60s finishes to a T. Thanks to this thinner finish, Murphy Lab guitars look like authentic vintage pieces. They don’t just look the part--they are the real McCoy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, the heart of the Murphy Lab is the aging process. Part of what made Tom a legend was his ability to replicate the natural wear and tear found on distressed vintage instruments by hand-aging brand-new instruments. With his practiced eye and skilled hands, Tom artfully mimicked the finish and feel of old guitars, and he has imparted his skills to the talented team at the Murphy Lab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough Tom may not age each and every guitar himself, he has done a bang-up job of teaching his team the Way of Murphy, and they do a marvelous job of replicating his masterful work.

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.

Bass Marketing thinks it's '62, Bass Sales thinks it's '64, and Bass Analytics thinks it's '55. However, all parties were forced to at least reconsider after hearing this magnificent '65 P Bass with an Olympic White finish that has aged unbelievably well (all that checking, and the patina...mmmmm). Apart from looking cooler than a polar bear's toenail, it sounds jaw-dropping.\n\n\n\nFirst off, it's amazing the range of sounds you can get just by altering your velocity and technique. The attack is round and springy with some delicious musical compression that really makes the percussive quality of the attack come through. When you play with a light touch, this P Bass sounds warm and piano-like. When you dig in, it snarls more, but it mostly becomes more \u003cem\u003epresent\u003c\/em\u003e. The notes stay round and punchy with an open-throated quality even when you play aggressively. However, you can significantly increase the volume based on the power of your attack, and that gives this bass a huge dynamic range, which makes for a delightfully expressive playing experience. \n\n\n\nFrequency-response wise, the low-end is monstrous, the midrange packs a wide punch, and the highs are unbelievably fat and sweet. Across the spectrum, this serial has a dry, woody tonality, but it feels cavernous and huge, too. 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":"Used","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51196603367699,"sku":"WWCONFD110345","price":12999.0,"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!

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":51198286758163,"sku":"R112757","price":4499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r112757_lg1.jpg?v=1745621073"},{"product_id":"2021-limited-1961-telecaster-relic","title":"2021 Limited 1961 Telecaster - Relic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Picture of Perfection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nForget 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?).\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":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/cz555457_lg1.jpg?v=1745621815"},{"product_id":"wildwood-10-1957-stratocaster-journeyman-relic-3","title":"Wildwood 10 1957 Stratocaster - Journeyman Relic","description":"\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?

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":51199188926739,"sku":"R116607","price":4820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r116607_lg1.jpg?v=1745622865"},{"product_id":"wildwood-spec-1964-sg-standard-vos-maestro-6","title":"Wildwood Spec 1964 SG Standard - VOS, Maestro Vibrola","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Wildwood Spec SG: A True Sonic Titan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf it weren't for the Gibson SG, I sincerely doubt I'd be sitting here writing words for all you lovely people of the Wildwoodiverse to read about our Wildwood Spec SGs. Like many guitar nerds, I had no choice but to give my life to rock and roll after I heard the proverbial One Guitar; in my case, it was Angus Young's SG. Once my dad played me Back in Black when I was six, it was all over. It probably had something to do with the riffs (AC\/DC \u003cem\u003edoes\u003c\/em\u003e know a thing or two about songwriting), but the SG's tone and appearance have always spoken to me on an elemental level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough it has plenty of muscle, it sounds less like a bodybuilder and more like a scary dude in a leather jacket picking his teeth with a switchblade. And, it has a sensitive side. Though there's an exciting rawness and attitude to the SG's sound, it never loses its inherent woody warmth. It may be raw, but it has plenty of range. So, in Tommy Iommi's hands, the SG snarls like a hellhound. In Derek Trucks's hands, the SG cries like a female blues singer from the Delta circa 1927. What's the common thread? Both players aim to bottle raw, intense emotion with their playing, and the SG is the perfect instrument for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the SG wears its heart on its horns, it’s a guitar that I love deeply, and the Wildwood Spec version is my personal favorite example of the model. We’ll get to tech specs later, but I want to help you understand the deeper reasons why Wildwood Spec SGs are such wonderful instruments, the ones that go beyond fret size and pickup output. The SG is so deeply intertwined with my life and my musical journey that I need to tell part of my own story to properly tell the story of the Wildwood Spec SG. If you just want to hear about the nuts and bolts of these mahogany-bodied monsters, feel free to skip ahead to the second-to-last header. But, it’s a compelling story—I promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy Solid Guitar Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SG seems to pull raw, unadulterated, pure music out of people, and that’s why I bought one before I moved to Colorado four years ago. At that point, I had mostly given up on music after joint problems made playing nearly impossible. Though my body had recovered, the creative spark was gone. I still loved listening to music, but I didn't really feel any desire to play. I had read a biography of jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins, and one of his favorite pieces of advice for aspiring musicians stuck with me: if you don't hear music in your head, don't pick up your instrument. That seemed reasonable to me, and since I didn’t hear anything, I stopped playing. Better to sit in silence than hear myself going through the motions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, I missed playing the guitar, but it was a peculiar sort of ache, like an amputee pining for a phantom limb. From time to time, I’d pull my guitar out of the case to see if the magic came back, but it never did. I never stopped wanting it to return, though.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, before I left home for Denver, I decided to make one last effort to summon that spark of creative energy. I figured that if I got myself an awesome guitar, it might at least inspire me to noodle more, and if I noodled more, maybe I’d start to hear notes in my head again. After roughly 2.5 seconds’ worth of consideration, I knew the guitar had to be an SG. I had some practical reasons (they’re versatile enough to excel in just about any genre, they’re lightweight, the neck is comfortable) and some not-so-practical (it has horns, and pointy guitars are cool). But mostly, I was hoping that the SG’s raw, direct personality would pull some music out of me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt didn’t happen overnight. I decided to learn every Black Sabbath riff in chronological order starting with the eponymous track on their self-titled first record. At first, it was a workmanlike endeavor. I put my fingers where they were supposed to be, and the correct sounds came out of my amplifier at the right times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut, as I worked my way through more tunes on that Pelham Blue SG, I began to remember the elemental joy of making music again. I could feel the guitar pulling the visceral rock and roll energy out of me like a mahogany magnet as I ran through tunes like Into the Void and Behind the Wall of Sleep. By the time I finished up Masters of Reality, I decided to bring my grand quest for ultimate Sabbathian scholarship to a premature end because I was having more fun coming up with my own heavy riffage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a few months of basement jamming, I realized that it was silly to keep my SG all to myself. So, I started jamming with people for the first time in years. Those jams quickly turned into band practices, and there was no looking back. I was playing constantly. Though I’ve since moved back to my first love, bass guitar (and everyone who ever heard me play guitar uttered a collective sigh of relief when I did so), the music has returned to my brain. When I’m not writing about guitars for Wildwood, I’m at band practice. I play in three bands, and I keep threatening to start a fourth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWould all of this have happened if I had gotten, say, a Telecaster instead of an SG? Almost certainly, because things don’t change you—you change you. I went looking for the music in my head, and that’s why I found it. But, things like guitars can be useful tools on journeys through the dark parts of life. I simply chose the SG as my tool. SGs have had a sympathetic resonance with my heartstrings ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLove at First Strum\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow perfect would it be if the tool I’m talking about was a Wildwood Spec SG? Alas, life isn’t a movie. I didn’t play a Wildwood Spec SG until three years after my move when I started working at Wildwood. I distinctly remember plugging in a VOS model with a natural finish, playing a few doodles around the ninth fret with the open A string ringing, and immediately getting choked up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat might seem like a strange response to a couple licks in A major, but (as I’ve spent the last thousand words telling you) SGs are special to me, and the sounds coming out of the speaker cone at that moment were such a perfect example of the tone that has inspired me for my whole musical life that my emotions overcame me for a moment. It was like stepping into one of my favorite records in real-time. For someone who loves Gibson SGs as much as I do, playing a Wildwood Spec edition is truly a magical experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I did a write-up on that guitar for the website, I believe I said that it was “the platonic ideal of an SG.” Since then, dozens of Wildwood Spec SGs have passed through my hands, and I am pleased to say that my initial impression is still correct. Though each guitar has had a distinctive personality, they all sounded iconic in their own way and played like butter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Source of the Sonic Sauce\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, why do so many inspiring sounds come out of Wildwood Spec SGs so consistently? The answer is rather simple: the wizards and warlocks at the Gibson Custom Shop find the best raw materials they can and assemble them with incredible skill, care, and precision. They start with a resonant slab of mahogany, which automatically gives the guitar a woody, warm, midrange-forward voice while also enhancing responsiveness. Then, they attach a mahogany neck to the body using hide glue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking instruments with hide glue is an old-world manufacturing process that requires incredible skill and patience, but it pays incredible dividends for the instrument’s voice. Because it’s a protein-based adhesive, it promotes the greatest possible amount of energy transfer between pieces of wood. That gives the guitar excellent resonance and sustain. After slapping on a sweet-sounding rosewood fretboard with more hide glue, the skeleton is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo complete the package, our friends drop in a couple Wildwood Spec Custombuckers, which sound magnificent. Gibson based them off some of our favorite old PAFs, and they did a bang-up job of recreating that fabled vintage magic. The highs sing, the mids are punchy, and the lows are warm and woody, and overall they are quite dynamic and expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wildwood Spec SG is a simple guitar built to perfection by some of the most skilled craftsmen in the world, and that’s why they sound good enough to make a grown man get emotional in the middle of a loud, frenetic guitar store. The entire Wildwood team is proud to showcase them for all you Wildwoodians traversing the Wildwoodiverse, and I hope they bring you as much joy as they bring me.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51199480004883,"sku":"008162","price":5399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/008162_lg1.jpg?v=1745623227"},{"product_id":"american-professional-ii-stratocaster-105","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.
