Over the past few years we’ve customized a lot of instruments. A solid proportion of them where obviously Telecasters®. Beyond customization we’ve also built a lot of Tele-style guitars. Some of them were relatively close to the original but most of them feature original option, unique painting job or construction method (7 strings, set-in neck, neck through).

In the end when we’ve been talking about producing a Tele-style guitar, we’ve immediately decided to bring the instrument back to its roots to achieve the authentic twang of its notorious predecessor. We’ve kept the unmistakable original spirit but wanted to firmly ground our Wild-TV in the present with a vintage-modern design.

MADE IN WILD
Our guitars are 100% made in France. We believe in the true artisanal values and all our instruments are handcrafted the old fashion way in our workshop.

Our only goal is to deliver premium quality instruments and everything is designed, crafted, painted, wired, set, tuned in France.

TONEWOOD / WILD-TV - GOOD WOOD = GOOD TONE
A lot of attention is paid to source premium quality wood for all our instruments.

The body is made of US swamp ash, a fairly light weight and very musical wood offering a very nice balance of brightness and warmth.

The neck is made of Canadian maple, a very hard and dense wood. The tone is very bright, with long sustain and a lot of bite.

BOLT-ON NECK
The slower transference of acoustic energy from the non-glued neck yields a little more pop and attack from the string—in essence, it decouples the strings from the body and neck. The snap and pop of the bolt-on guitar neck emphasizes note definition. It adds a sharpness and firmness that contribute to a cutting tone, often called “twang”

25-1/2″ SCALE
One of the most common scale lengths is the 25-1/2″ guitar scale, made popular by Stratocasters®, Telecasters® and found on a wide variety of instruments. The 25-1/2″ produces a rich, strong, bell-like tone, and defined low-end.

NECK / WILD-TV
We’ve chosen a neck profile close to the original Telecasters 50’s neck profile for a true vintage experience. Our goal is to achieve the unmistakable Telecaster® “Twang”
