Jinder Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 After months of waiting and sitting on my hands, I’m finally in Colorado and off to pick up my Maple AJ from Wildwood today. Setting off from my sister’s place in Centennial to make the 1hr journey to the store very shortly. Excited doesn’t even cover it! Will report back...

I know I had fun in Washington State when I was there. Cool. So you came all the way across the pond to get a guitar. That is hardcore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 . Following and looking forward to an update. I’ve bought three guitars from Wildwood but never set foot in the store. . B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 My Sister-in-Law lives in Centennial. But I always get confused when I hear the name Wildwood Music as we have one here in Ohio as well. Great place to go particularly if you are into Martins. I have, however, heard they will be shutting their doors next December. Anyway, best of luck with the new toy.

fortyearspickn Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Did you play your gig yet? Was it a Wedding? How'd it go, or is the plan to use your AJm at the gig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Paul Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have the same problem. Wildwood Music gets some great Martin customs. Wildwood Music (Ohio) and Wildwood Guitars (Colorado) Too close. Just to stoke the confusion ... the best Martin I ever played was a Wildwood (Guitars) custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Sorry for the late reply, all...I haven’t been able to put the guitar down!! The AJ is incredible, all I had hoped for and more. Beautiful, loud, woody, very powerful and sweet. An absolute gem. Bruce at Wildwood made the buying experience just fantastic. Superlative customer service from start to finish-I’d recommend a visit to Wildwood to anyone, fantastic store and great people! First song played was The Road To Ensenada, the old Lyle Lovett tune. Pics will follow tomorrow-I’m still jetlagged so must get some sleep. Well...maybe after one more song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 ...I'm finally in Colorado and off to pick up my Maple AJ from Wildwood today..... Wait a minute. You mean the "2015 Custom Shop Advanced Jumbo Maple (Ltd to 65)" you list in your sig? Is this the same as a 2015 custom shop stained red J45 flamed maple limited run to 65? I ask because I just bought one off reverb! My first Gibson! Good to hear you're happy with yours! I'll be getting mine next week... and supplying the requisite proof with a NGD. Cheers and more cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AJ is a slightly different beast (Adirondack Spruce top, AJ specific bracing, long scale neck, different inlays and a natural finish) but both are of course round shoulder dreadnoughts and from the same range of limited editions that Gibson released that year. In my experience, the Custom shop runs from 2004-2016 were generally very high quality and nicely put together. I have three (2005 Hummingbird 12, 2014 J180 and 2016 AJ Custom Flame), all limited editions and all an absolute joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Jinder, Glad the AJ met your expectations after the long wait and considerable distance. I hope it gives you lots of enjoyment for many years. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
