Pin Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Next is the fretboard. My other Epis have all had just a natural rosewood board. This has some kind of stain that is horrible. It's really more of a brown paint. It covers up the wood grain, and it comes off and gets on your fingers and all the frets. It's almost like chalk. I have read about others who have talked about this on their fretboards, but this is my first encounter with it. I dislike it very much. I spent some time cleaning the board, and frets, and it's a little better. Don't know why they must do that. My Epi ES345 had that crap all over its fretboard too. It is all off now but took some cleaning. I don't understand it either. I have no idea what it is or what it is supposed to do (other than make your fingers very dirty).

Dennis G Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I have not experienced the fingerboard stain coming off in all my years of owning my Wildkat --- maybe they're using a different formula now. As for the master volume, it serves a very real purpose for players who frequently use both pickups together, as it allows you to balance the pickup volumes as you wish, then raise or lower the overall volume without affecting tone. Players who mostly use either the neck or bridge pickup alone may find it superfluous, but I find it very handy when using both pickups --- just like my Gretsches. Brad, congrats on a great guitar. I've had my Wildkat for almost 4 years now, and agree with Parabar on both counts. No staining issues with the fretboard, and you'll get used to the controls. As Parabar said, it's like a Gretsch.
