Epiphone Wildkat Semi-Hollow with Bigsby Review

Love My Wild Kat.

I have always been a country picker and this guitar can do that. But I have been looking for a Rockabilly guitar and this fills the bill. The P 90s pickups a great. Got that sound ya need. So if ya want that Country and Rockabilly sound. Get a Wild Kat.

Best semi-hollow body electric for the money.

My first electric was a semi hollow body electric. After that was an SG Standard and Les Paul DC Studio. Looking to get a semi hollow body, sat down and played this guitar for 3 hours unplugged and plugged in. Played better than Gretch's I was looking at, sounded comparable and for a lot less money. Ordering this one and Epiphone DC Pro soon as I can. Can't believe this guitar.… read more Buy it. No buy 2 so you have a backup just in case. Can't believe my gigging guitars will be 2 Epiphones.

Wildkat, Oh Yeah!

This review is about a guitar that more people should consider because it has it all! Semi hollow (almost hollow) mahogany body,P90 pickups, Bigsby Vibrato, Grover tuners, Quality looks and, build. I have two of these one Chicago Royale Blue and, Wine Red transparent and, they just blow me away. These come as close as you can get to a true hollow body except for a couple of places… read more where it is solid under the bridge and, by the neck pickup, other than that it is hollow. I was looking for that something different in a guitar and, this is it! I've played these through a small 30w combo amp and, a Fender Twin Reverb and, the sound is Awesome!! I bought both sight unseen with no problem. I live in a very rural area so I have no choice but to do so. I have not been dissapointed in any way with these instruments. No modifications necessary, tune up, set the action, check the intonation and, neck relief and, get jammin'. Highly recommended!!!!

Best guitar for the price.

I purchased this guitar several months ago. It has exceptional clean tones and a very low end cut. It leaves a bit to be desired in the treble side of things even when the lead tone is selected. However it's mid range capabilities are amazing. It has a natural crunch when played clean that allows the user to not have to overdrive the amp or use a distortion effect. It does need… read more tightened up when fresh out of the box, but once done stays in tune very well even when using the tremolo. The neck is fat and chords very nice, but not great for metal shredding. It is a very loud electric and I have issues when playing live switching between this and my solid body electrics because it is so much louder. I use this for all clean songs in our set list. If your a rhythm player looking for a solid piece at a great price look no further. If you want something to run the neck this is not the guitar for you. I get compliments on this guitar everywhere it goes.

Best value for electric on the market

I've had this guitar a few months now and I love it. It will fill the necessities for any style except, maybe, metal. It has a unique sound and look along with a great feel. I put some Gibson 11 gauge strings on mine and the sound is compatible with my regular Gibson studio. Caution: If you never stringed a guitar with a Bigsby trem, look it up on youtube before you do your… read more first. It is not difficult, but easy to make mistakes that could cost you scratches or having to buy another set of new strings.
