Description
Here we have a pre owned Epiphone Wildkat Studio Semi- Hollow Electric Guitar. Made in 2016. The Wildkat Studio is a single cut, smaller bodied guitar that sort of bridges the gap between old and new. It has a top bound Mahogany body with a flame Maple top finished in a beautiful gloss Wine Red. 24.75″ Scale length Rosewood fingerboard, 2- P90 chrome covered single coil pickups, Volume for each pickup with a master tone and a master volume. 3- way toggle switch handles the pickup selection. Its a bit bluesy, a bit rockabilly, and a bit awesome. This guitar weighs 7lbs 14oz.
This guitar has just been setup with 10-46’s and is playing great. The neck is nice and straight and the truss rod is working perfectly with good travel in both directions. The frets are in excellent condition with very minimal signs of wear. The guitar plays cleanly up and down the fingerboard with no issues.
Cosmetically, the guitar is in very good to excellent condition. Most noticeable is a gank right by the output jack. Our technician put some clear finish on it just to smooth it out. It’s a little wavy but its smooth to the touch. General surface scuffs and marks through. Just normal play wear. The back of the neck is smooth with no indents. The back of the guitar has your typical surface marks etc. Please see all photos for detailed condition.
All in all, this Wildkat Studio is setup and playing great. Its ready for a new home. Maybe it should come live with you? Thanks for looking and happy buying!
From the web…..
When the Epiphone Wildkat premiered in the early ’90s, it introduced a new generation to historic Epiphone archtop style, which the House of Stathopoulo has been perfecting for nearly a century. Now the Ltd. Ed. Wildkat Studio nouveau classic is back with new colors and a streamlined look.
The Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Wildkat Studio features the timeless Wildkat profile made from mahogany with a flame maple top and classic Epiphone styled f-holes. The glued-in hard maple neck is hand-set and has a fast and comfortable 1960s SlimTaper D-profile with a 24.75 scale and a 12 radius.
The neck has a beautiful rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The truss rod cover (2-layer black and white) is matched to a classic ’60s era œE logo for Epiphone. The Sloped Dovewing headstock, also an iconic style from the early ’60s, has a vintage Epiphone metal badge. The body has simple but elegant single-layer Ivory colored binding as does the top, fingerboard and f-holes.
The Ltd. Ed. Wildkat Studio is powered by Epiphone designed Dogear Classic P-90 pickups, a favorite of Epi fans for decades. P-90 pickups are the world’s best single coil pickups made from Alnico magnets with precise articulation for leads and rock n’ roll growl for power chords and rhythm. Each pickup is activated via an Epiphone 3-way toggle switch for rhythm, lead, and a standard middle position for both pickups. Controls include a handy Master Volume, Master Tone, and individual volume controls for each pickup with Black Top Hat knobs with metal inserts.
Epiphone hardware is just as famous as its electronics and the Ltd. Ed. Wildkat Studio comes with a time-tested Epiphone LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and Epiphone Stopbar tailpiece combined with Epiphone Premium Die-Cast machine heads. Epiphone Die-Cast machine heads feature a pro-level 14:1 tuning ratio for precise intonation and rock solid tuning. Each Ltd. Ed. Wildkat Studio is set up at the Epiphone factory with the world’s finest strings from D’Addario in a 10-46 (light) gauge.
