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. For 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. Now, 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.

Rock and roll, rockabilly, and country music were all taking off, and the Fender Telecaster was at the epicenter of it all. Our Wildwood 10 1955 Telecasters are an homage to the Telecasters that rolled off the line and into the hands of thousands of guitar players during the mid-1950s. They feature resonant ash bodies, period-correct neck shapes, hand-wound Custom Shop electronics, and maple necks. But they also feature our dealer-exclusive 10\" radius and narrow-tall 6105 frets for comfortable modern handfeel. So, you get the best of both worlds: all the fabulous fifties Fender tone you can handle AND modern playability. Please keep drooling to a minimum as you browse our many Wildwood 10 1955 Telecasters. We have lots of colors, neck profiles, and relic'd finishes, so we're sure you'll find something to make you salivate!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePickup Rundown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWildwoodians, the Hand-Wound Wildwood 10 Twisted Tele pickups in this guitar are the winners of the most fearsome shootout since the OK Corral! When we were trying to figure out what type of special sauce to put in our Wildwood 10 Tele pickups, the Twisted Tele was an easy choice for a starting point. Standard Twisted Teles have high output for fiery Tele tone, a dash of Strat-y sparkle, and excellent articulation. That sounded like a good base to work from, so we asked our friends at the Custom Shop to send us some underwound versions with AlNiCo II magnets instead of the standard AlNiCo V, and we asked that Fender's resident pickup maestro, Josefina Campos, be the one to wind them. They sent us multiple guitars with different output levels, and the whole staff got together to put them through their paces and compare notes. After a delightful Tele-filled afternoon, we reached a rare unanimous consensus, and these pickups emerged bloodstained from the octagon as the winner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Do They Sound?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow did these pickups unite the notoriously opinionated Wildwood staff? Well, for starters, the lower output makes them wonderfully touch-sensitive and dynamic, allowing you to alter your tone significantly using just your hands. But, they also have plenty of power because of the nature of the Twisted Tele. They're also unbelievably articulate, so they have that iconic woody Tele twang and capture every percussive detail of your right-hand attack. The bobbin for the bridge pickup is also shorter and the neck taller, which warms up the bridge and livens up the neck. Speaking of lively, the Wildwood 10 Twisted Teles have a Strat-like sparkliness, and they're similarly vocal. As a result, the bridge pickup is punchy and has excellent presence with plenty of jangle, chime, and sparkle. But, it still sounds quite round with no ice-pick frequencies or harshness. The neck pickup is sweet, warm, and vocal, yet it also remains open, lively, and dynamic. Teles may be simple guitars, but the amazing thing about them is they always fit in no matter what you're doing musically. In that spirit, we believe the Hand-Wound Wildwood 10 Twisted Tele will allow you to cover just about any musical territory you want to adventure through, and its dynamic, iconic voice will inspire all sorts of musical joy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51210003054867,"sku":"R135284","price":5199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r135284_lg1.jpg?v=1745643159"},{"product_id":"2023-prs-guitars-mccarty-10-top","title":"2023 PRS Guitars McCarty - 10 Top","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pugnacious PRS looks nearly untouched except for some light buckle rash on the back, and it comes with its original hardshell case, too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSonic Evaluation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMan, this is a monster McCarty!

One name kept popping up over and over on these old patents: Ted McCarty. Paul did a bit more digging and found that Ted McCarty was Gibson's president from 1950 to 1966. During that time, he used his considerable engineering experience to help develop dozens of innovative designs that shaped the electric guitar into what it is today. Over the course of the McCarty era, Gibson went from selling 5,000 instruments a year to 100,000 a year. Ted clearly knew a thing or two about building guitars and about running a guitar company. So, Paul decided to reach out to Ted and ask for an interview so he could pick his brain a little. Ted obliged him, and that interview blossomed into a decades-long friendship. They became such good buddies that Paul decided to honor Ted by designing a guitar using all of the tips and techniques he'd gleaned from their conversations. Naturally, he named the guitar after his friend. The PRS McCarty had arrived. Ever since its birth in 1994, the McCarty model has inspired countless players with its blend of vintage tone and modern playability. It's also a fitting tribute to Ted McCarty and his friendship with Paul Reed Smith. Throughout the years, Paul's tireless drive to innovate has produced several delectable additions to the McCarty line: the McCarty 594, the McCarty SC 594, and the McCarty 594 Hollowbody II. After all, you can't rest on your laurels when you've named a guitar after one of the greatest six-string innovators ever to live! We believe that each model combines the best qualities of old and new in one art museum-worthy package. Wildwood Guitars is proud to showcase the fruit of Paul and Ted's excellent adventure: the PRS McCarty. The McCarty's excellence is a testament to the powers of collaboration and friendship. It's proof that when two brilliant people who enjoy one another's company roll up their sleeves and get to work, magnificent things happen. We invite you to try out this fabulous instrument and see how it inspires you.

Originally born in 1965, the 4005's powerful, expressive voice, elegant good looks, and supreme playability delighted players for decades before the model was eventually phased out in 1984. This left us at the Wildwood Bass Department and many other semi-hollow bass enthusiasts with a toaster pickup-sized hole in our hearts, but we must weep no longer, for the 4005 has returned! The new 4005V reissue nails the vibe and tone of those vaunted original sixties basses, and its arrival has significantly lessened productivity in the Bass Department (can you blame us?).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExpressive and Dynamic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy have we been neglecting our professional duties in favor of thumping up a storm? Well, the simplest answer is that the semi-hollow construction makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. It imparts a bit of acoustic-style touch-sensitivity so you can shape the sound of the bass using your technique, allowing you to achieve a wide dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Toast to Toasters!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat semi-hollow construction meshes beautifully with the electronics. There are few things in life better than the tone of a vintage-style Rickenbacker toaster single-coil, and their voices shine beautifully on this instrument. The neck pickup sounds as deep and woody as a hundred-foot-tall upright bass while keeping superb clarity even on the low E. The bridge pickup presents a slightly (but only slightly) mellower, more refined version of the classic clanking, growling biting Rickenbacker sound with some of the sharp edges rounder off. In other words, it thumps and growls beautifully in the soloed pickup positions, which makes the middle position pure magic. Who says you can't have the best of both worlds? The medium scale-length also contributes to the 4005V's tone in an interesting way by giving it a touch more percussive articulation than a 34\" scale along with some more upright-like flavor. Not to mention, it also makes for a supremely slinky handfeel!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExpress Yourself\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rickenbacker 4005V is one of the most inspiring basses we've seen in a long time. Although it's based on an instrument from the sixties, it has a fresh, exciting voice that stands apart from the crowd and blazes a new sonic trail. It's one of those models that just seems to innately inspire the player to be creative and find news means of musical expression. Any bassist looking to explore the sweet world of semi-hollow thud staffs owes it to themselves to take a 4005V for spin and experience its myriad musical charms firsthand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51955362791699,"sku":"2513711","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/2513711_lg1.jpg?v=1750655702"},{"product_id":"2020-fender-custom-shop-wildwood-10-1957-stratocaster-heavy-relic","title":"2020 Fender Custom Shop Wildwood 10 1957 Stratocaster - Heavy Relic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nThis Wildwood 10 '57 Strat is in minty-fresh condition!

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

Here's a quick rundown of what makes them tick. They're slightly underwound, which gives them exceptional dynamic response and touch sensitivity. You can really alter your sound based on how hard you're hitting, which makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. However, they are wound with thicker wire like Fender did in the sixties, which gives them a little more power and guts despite being underwound. As a result, their voice is similar to vintage Strat pickups we love with lots of bell-like chime and vocal response, but with a little extra warmth and muscle. \n\n\n\nAlthough they are not exactly the same as a real vintage example, we think they capture the magic sound of a great vintage Strat, giving you access to the iconic sound that shaped countless classic records. We have no doubt they will make your heartstrings resonate!","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52890454753555,"sku":"WWFDR107753","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/wwfdr107753_lg1.jpg?v=1767873957"},{"product_id":"wwfdxn15092-2023-custom-shop-collection-postmodern-stratocaster-journeyman-relic","title":"2023 Custom Shop Collection Postmodern Stratocaster - Journeyman Relic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Postmodern Strat is uber-clean--downright minty-fresh, even!

All in all, if you're looking for a muscular-sounding Strat with convenient modern appointments and a vintage soul, check this serial out! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53850786103571,"sku":"WWFDXN15092","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/wwfdxn15092_lg1.jpg?v=1771525201"},{"product_id":"wwty1211191044-2021-k22ce","title":"2021 K22ce","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis K22ce is in minty-fresh condition! It looks basically new, with hardly any signs of use and no cosmetic flaws to report. It comes with its original hardshell case, too! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Koa Killer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWildwoodians, we are proud to showcase the K22ce. With its other high-end appointments like maple binding, a wooden spring vine inlay, and shaded edgeburst finish, the K22ce cuts a stunning figure. It looks elegant and refined, yet it maintains a tasteful, earthy aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the K22ce sounds wonderful, too! Koa is a spectacular tonewood that produces sweet, singing highs, focused midrange, and tight, well-defined bass. As a result, the all-koa K22ce has a clear, woody voice with that inimitable Taylor sparkle in the high end. Though it certainly sounds spectacular now, the cool thing about koa is that it sounds better and better the more you play it. The midrange broadens and becomes richer and more harmonically resonant, and the highs become lusher as you put in more play hours. So, the K22ce is a guitar that will grow with you and sound better and better as you practice and grow as player!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eI've Got to Admit it's Getting Better\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd that really is the heart of the K22ce’s appeal. It's a beautiful guitar of heirloom quality, it's ridiculously comfortable to play, and when you pass it down to your children or grandchildren it will sound even better than it did the day it came out of the box. We're proud to showcase such a spectacular instrument for our exceptional customers, and we know the K22ce will inspire you endlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrand Concert Greatness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaylor's Grand Concert body shape offers a host of strengths to both fingerstyle players and strummers. Guitars with this shape produce punchy midrange response, well-defined low-end, and plenty of that classic Taylor sparkle and chime. Their articulation is incredible, and their woody attack captures every detail and nuance of your right-hand dynamics. When you dig into them, more and more overtones pop out of the top as the sound becomes more piano-like and full, like a box full of lush resonance. This is because the Grand Concert's smaller body has less headroom, which makes it easier to get the top moving and get some natural-sounding compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA V-Classic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI would be remiss if I did not mention how the K22ce utilizes Taylor's new V-Class bracing. It's an elegant solution to a problem that has plagued luthiers for decades. For years, acoustic guitar builders had to compromise between volume and sustain. Flexibility equals volume, and stiffness equals sustain. Obviously, a piece of wood cannot be rigid and flexible at the same time, so builders had to go for one or the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndy Powers wanted to have his cake and eat it, too. After much tinkering, V-Class bracing was his elegant solution to the problem that has plagued luthiers for centuries. As the name implies, V-Class bracing features two long pieces of wood that make a \"V\" shape together. The bracing is quite thin and flexible near the rear bout, but it becomes thicker as you get closer to the soundhole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, you get volume from the flexible parts of the bracing, and sustain from the rigid parts! Many areas of the guitar neck that typically sound weak (ninth fret on the G string, for instance) have just as much presence, resonance, and sustain as the low E. As a result, the K22ce sounds supremely balanced and sculpted. When you hear one played live in the room, you'd swear a mix engineer had already done a bunch of post-production work on it. And, it gives the guitar piano-like note separation and crystalline clarity even when you play fancy jazz chords!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntonation Station\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eV-Class bracing also does wonders for the guitar's intonation. Are you ready to have your mind blown? When I visited the Taylor headquarters El Cajon, Andy Powers explained that an acoustic guitar's intonation is not necessarily just the sum of the typical adjustments like saddle height, nut slots, and neck angle (though they do a play a part). The way that the \u003cem\u003eactual guitar itself\u003c\/em\u003e vibrates also has a lot to do with how in-tune it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndy told me to picture it like this: when you take close-up slow-motion footage of a guitar's top with a high-speed camera as someone plays it, you can see the top move vividly. On a traditional X-braced guitar, the top vibrates in a disorderly, disjointed manner. This can cause a guitar with the perfect saddle height and neck angle to sound out of tune when you play a big open chord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy contrast, guitars with V-Class bracing vibrate in a much more orderly manner. The graduated braces compel the energy from the player's attack to move from the thin outer part of the bracing to the thicker inner part in an efficient manner. If you were to take a high-speed shot of a V-Class top, you would see it rock back and forth evenly in a pleasing pattern. Because of that V-Class magic, the K22ce sounds so in-tune that it's scary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used Acoustics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54067173228819,"sku":"WWTY1211191044","price":3799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/wwty1211191044_lg1.jpg?v=1776482389"},{"product_id":"wwfrb1223327-2024-f-35-1943-jumbo-fairbanks-guitars","title":"2024 F-35 1943 Jumbo","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Fairbanks F-35 1943 Jumbo is extremely clean!
