About This Listing
A true Epiphone original, the Wildkat is a small semi-hollowbody with a sweet flame maple top -- and a Bigsby vibrato, for when you really want to get wild.
The mahogany body on the Wildkat is set with a flamed maple top that dazzles the eyes. The semi-hollow body generates a tone with lots of sustain and complex resonance from within. It's a little smaller than some of the other semi-hollowbody instruments on the market, and is likely to feel more comfortable and manageable in your hands, especially in situations of extended playing.
The maple neck is carved in the classic SlimTaper D-shape profile that provides a comfortable and smooth playing experience. You'll feel the solidity of the glued-in neck-to-body joint right in your hands.
To give you versatile tone that will lend itself to whatever amps and/or effects you might be playing through, the Wildkat has been updated with two Alnico V P-90 pickups -- a P-90R in the neck position, and a P-90T in the bridge position. The sound on these babies is super-vintage, with lots of crisp transients and shimmer. You can control the level and tone on the P-90s with a single Master Volume located just under the neck pickup, and dual pickup Volume knobs under the vibrato bar, right next to the single Tone control.
Finally, the Licensed Bigsby Vibrato puts the "Wild" in Wildkat. You can wail on this bar to create crazy bends or tremolo effects, while being assured that the Grover 16:1 tuning machine heads up top are keeping your intonation solid.
