NGD - 2009 Epi Wildkat

A flaming kitty came into my life today.

I never got along with my Epi Dot, my Buddy thought his Wildkat was too heavy, and didn't care for the P90 sound.

 

Trade we did. I spent an hour on the setup, strings, intonation, getting the relief right, and the string height where I like it.

 

I gotta say, this thing rocks. The tone is, for lack of better words , EDGY and FAT. I like it. A little more bite to it. compared to say the dual HBs setup in my LP Studio. I also like the location for the master volume, that's pretty handy.

 

I'd have to say the 'Kat tone out of the box, fits my style a bit more than the "Dot" sound, out of the box. Plus I like the extra weight, and it feels like a hollow LP did I mention?

My Dot seems heavy to me, haha.

 

Nicely flamed. Is that amber or antique natural (or something else)?

Its sort of a buttery amber color, I would say lightly flamed. I see what looks identical on amazon.

 

When he picked up the Dot he was like "Whoa, this doesn't weight anything!" He is a big dude. Retired Firefighter. Here's a shout out for all those guys, too.

Happy NGD! I just got the wine red version for myself -- impeccably made guitar and I TOTALLY dig the stock P90's...fat, punchy, jazzy, they really do it all!

 

yep

no wine red here...yetmsp_smile.gif

I also really like playing, and looking at the Spear LP msp_smile.gifmsp_smile.gif

Those are all some real beauties...and I'm crazy jealous of that aged tiger finish Wildkat! They really should consider making those a standard finish instead of Limited Edition, they're so classy!
