Durango Kid Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 So I recently aquired my first 24.75 scale guitar when I scored a used Dot 335. I really think this is a good scale for me and I am interested in getting a solid body Epi. Not really into an SG because of the balance issue but I noticed the Wilshire the other day and was intrigued. Has anyone tried this reissue yet? How well is it made and how is the neck? I typically like necks with a nice bare wood feel and was wondering what the neck was like on these. Hard to tell the from the shots and the description on MF. Any info would be helpful.

Burstbucker1281734065 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 The "Willy" is light, plays great, and sounds very good (since installing gibby '57 classics and new electronics). The neck is fast, but has a strange connection to the body. I think its an LP or G400 neck cobbled into a Wilshire body. I will tell you I think its a great value. A better $250 dollar guitar would be hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewk Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I think its an LP or G400 neck cobbled into a Wilshire body. Isn't the headstock a slightly different shape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burstbucker1281734065 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Well, yes, its a batwing, but I was referring to the neck cross section and the joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Kid Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks for that info Burstbucker. Do you happen to have any pictures of the back of that neck and the joint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
