MGR/Steve from Connecticut « Epiphone Wildkat »
Published on 08/12/04 at 15:00I purchased this guitar from Musiciansfriend.com. I buy all of my guitars and amps from them. I own four electrics, one acoustic electric, one acoustic, and a banjo. Great company and they pric match everything. I paid $499 for this guitar. It' the most expensive piece of my current repetoire. I bought this guitar because Epiphone guitars are incredible for the price, there built like rocks, and the Wildcat just looks awesome.
This guitar is superb. The action is as low as you can go, and the fretboard plays like butter. Has a set neck, which is nice. I love the natural color. When I bought it, I thought it would be more of a solid yellow because that how it looks in every photo. Actually, though, you can really see the grain of the wood. The tailpiece and hollow body just look sharp. It sounds great, too. Dual humbuckers are powerful and LOUD. I have it hooked up to by V-AMP and a Marshall Amp. Just Sweet.
The ONLY thing I'm not crazy about is changing the strings. They're difficult to replace due to the fact of how the go in...a minor pain.
This Epiphone, like all, are as solid a guitar as you can find. I have a Special II, a G-400, the WildKat, and the PR5E (Acoustic/Electric). They are all solid and built well. They are not cheap. they are professional quality.
Bottom line? Forget any doubts you might have and buy it. You won't be disappointed. I can't give this guitar enough praise. I've owned it now for two years. I'm never satisfied reading reviews from people who have had a guitar for two weeks...being new there is still excitement and love which may cloud their true perspective. It's just sweet.
