Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish was very good. The only imperfection are some rough edges on the inside of the F-hole cutouts. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Only had it for 4 weeks. No reason to believe it will not last a lifetime with proper care. General Your general opinion of this product. For $349 this may be the best deal on the market. This guitar has a wonderful combination of good looks, tonal variety, and good playability. Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The quality is very good. There are no major imperfections that mar its appearance its performance. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The Bigsby Tremolo, if used extensively, does tend to put the guitar out of tune. Access to frest 20 thru 22 is a bit more constrained due to the design of the cutaway. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Compared to the humbucker pickups on both of my Flying V guitars, these are not quite as bright. But this can be compensated for with amplifier setting. The master tone control is a wonderful feature, one I wish more guitars had. Action How was the action out of the box? The action was too high and the neck was excessively curved. But this was easily fixed, and the action is now very good. My favorite neck is the Gibson slim 60's. This neck comes very close - it is just a bit thicker, and the strings are slightly closer together, but not so much as to be objectionable.

General Your general opinion of this product. The finish on this was flawless - truly a beautiful guitar. The body is a little smaller than other hollow bodies so I took me longer to adjust my playing style. I am not a fan of the Bigsby vibrato because it makes changing strings a real chore. I'd hate to break a string of a gig. Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Once when changing strings, the pin that holds the string end came out and I lost it. I had to replace it with a nail shaft of the same size. This time I super glued it in. I didn't use the vibrato so much because it would lose it tune. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The neck was fine and easy to riff out abut the controls were hidden under the vibrato bar. I used the master volume most of the time. My wrist was somewhat uncomfortable as my natural playing style had my hand resting on the bridge which had some rough edges. There again, this is my style. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The P90's are pretty mellow, but they can scream on the bridge. It is a different sound than my Strat. Action How was the action out of the box? I lowered the action when I went to 009 gauge strings and had to adjust the intonation. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Beautiful. What a jewel! Reliability How has it stood up over time? I'm sure that with care this guitar will last a lifetime.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The guitar is a little on the heavy side for a smaller semi-hollow body, but it has real solid construction. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Hasn't been much time- from what I hear it does well. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? I originally ordered it in the natural- but when it was going to be back ordered for the third time, since I didn't have another guitar I was impatient and decided to go with the Black Royale. (which now I don't see on here). As another reviewer said, I'm glad I changed my mind and got the black. It's not flat black...it's dark dark steel gray, with very tiny metallic flakes on the body. The neck has glitter going up it as does the edges of the body of the guitar- but it doesn't look tacky- still has that classy good vintage aesthetic. Action How was the action out of the box? Sounded good....but I need to find that tuner!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Fit and finish is excellent.Seems to be made well. Reliability How has it stood up over time?

Received my Wildkat yesterday and put it through a tough day of testing.Excellent fit and finish for a guitar at this price! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Very comfortable neck,fast and easy to play above the 12TH fret.Guitar is almost as heavy as a Les Paul. Controls are solid and in the right place. I especially like the Overall Vol Control at hand. You can max out your individual Vol controls and just use the master Vol close at hand. Love it!

Too light,but this is just my preference.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? if not for the lose pot, it would have been rated a 5. Reliability How has it stood up over time? it's brand new & the neck p'up volume pot nut isn't tight, the pot spins when i turn the knob. General Your general opinion of this product. some adjusting to suit your personal taste & it does the job of sounding different than any other guitar. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? this neck feels thick for me when noodling, but feels good playing chords. the knobs are awkward because of the Bigsby trem' arm but there's not as much real estate as a large body Gretsch to place the knobs anywhere else & i'm a big fan of what the knobs do. unlike most of my friends, i don't like PRS necks, this neck reminds me of why i don't like them. the grovers, Bigsby & frets are great. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? they sound just like Epiphone P-90's. not amazing, not crappy. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? flawless Action How was the action out of the box? the action out of the box was high enough to store blankets between the frets & strings. but EVERY new guitar needs a set up to suit your taste. i play at a medium string height so after a quick adjustment of the bridge i got the action i like.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? its very well made i think it will last a lifetime Reliability How has it stood up over time? i had my first one for three years no problems and sold it General Your general opinion of this product. its great to see a vintage guitar at such an affordable price i love Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky?

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Extremely well made. As good as the most expensive guitars I've played. I was shocked at the overall excellent quality of construction and finish. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Only had it for a few months, but great...no issues what so ever. General Your general opinion of this product. What a beautiful guitar! Fit, finish and feel are comparable to my Les Paul Standard and guitars costing 4x++ what this cost. I replaced the stock tune-0-matic bridge with a Wilkinson roller bridge...absolutely a must with Bigsby trems and what a difference! Costs ~$30 and IMHO, better than the $80 Schaller. Also, the strings it comes with were not to my liking. I replaced them with Elixir 10's...no good then Slinky 9's and WOW! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Once you get used to it, the playability and feel are great. If you're like me and spend a lot of time on a Strat and/or Les Paul, it will feel a little awkward at first, especially if your main axe is a Strat because this axe has a wider and thicker neck. I have 3 acoustics that I play a lot and when going from those to the Wildkat, it feels very natural. If you like arpeggios, you will really like the neck layout of this Wildkat. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Tone is right where it should be. This is not a guitar for metal or heavy rock, this is a Blues and Rock-a-Billy guitar all the way. I can't image ever changing out the P'ups...they are exactly the tone I was looking for. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Superb! Not a single flaw...this thing looks like a million bucks! My friends think this is a $2K guitar and are quite surprised when I tell them the actual price! Action How was the action out of the box? Action was a little high out of the box, but a 60 second fix if you know what you're doing. Since I replaced the bridge anyway, I made my adjustments with the new bridge. You may need to adjust the truss rod if you prefer very low action.
