From Our Research Team:

A Semi-hollow with Attitude

The Wildkat may not wear its snarl on its sleeve like its brother the Flame Kat, but one listen and you'll hear the family resemblance immediately. The Wildkat boasts a semi-hollow body that's big enough for that classic stinging tone but small enough to dance with. The vibrato bar on this baby isn't just an accessory - it's an essential! The sound? It can purr one minute, then turn mean and nasty on a whim, courtesy of two Alnico V P-90s. Other features include vintage Epiphone logo, vintage chrome VibraTone tailpiece, and more!

Smooooooth

by Bluesly from Hendersonville, North Carolina

Music Background: Faithfully destroying good music since 1968
I would not give this to just any guitar, But I was truly blown away at the sound and feel of this guitar,,,I seriously went into the store to debunk a freinds suggestion that my son buy one of these,... read more [+],,but I walked out WITH one of my own instead......The P90's were amazing, this thing sounds much more expensive than it is,,,and there are seperate volumes for each as well as a master which makes this almost like a varitone except with more range,,,It sounds like a much larger semi-hollow, the back and sides are from the same block of Mahogony like the big boys with a Beautiful Flame top,,,,and the playability,,this thing plays like Butter......I thought that it had been set up but when I got my new one from the back and opened it,,,,,it was perfect,,,,it needed little tuning and the intonation was dead on,,,,I do wish that it did not have the Bigsby but since it's there I may even try some dive bombing,,,, close [-]

My Only Gripe

by Jeremiah Brewer from Mena, AR

Music Background: Recording engineer, Singer-Songwriter
Absolutely love this guitar. It came set up ready to play. The action is nice and the fretboard has a nice feel; chords and solos are easy to play. It also has a very clean, bell like tone. I could ge... read more [+]t some very Johnny Lang-like blues sounds out of this thing. When you kick up the gain, it drives quite nicely. Though the pick-ups do have a tendency to scream and not feedback. My only gripe is that it won't stay in tune when I use the bigsby tremolo a lot. I even went with 11 strings to try and help the tuning stability, but to no avail. close [-]
