MildKat Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hello Everybody, New WildKat owner, here. Well, sort of. I'm waiting for it to be shipped. It'll be the 1st guitar I've bought without playing first. Not worried, though. I've played, I think, 3 of them in guitar shops, and I know I like 'em. But, I haven't seen them in stores lately, and I saw that the AlleyKat was no-more, so I decided to act. Glad I did and can't wait! We've had good experience with Epi. My son has an Epi SG that plays and sounds as good as any Gibson SG that I've personally played. (I haven't played the really expensive ones, though). It's away with him at college, now. I had a Casino that I sold a couple of years ago. I think it was the day after it was sold that I was walking around, wondering, "Why?" Needed some money, I guess. I've been through some guitars. Foolishly sold some good ones. No more. My motto -- "Buy guitars, yes. Collect guitars,yes. Sell guitars, Never! Never! Get away from me!" Anyway, I started looking for another Casino (you knew I would) I came across the WildKat and actually sort of preferred it. So, next week, I'm hoping. So, just wanted to say "Hi." You know I'll be following al the WildKat threads closely. Bye ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordy01 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Played the Alley Kat today. Found one in a local store. I wanted very much to buy, but sadly have already spent my money. Welcome to the forum, and post pics of your guitar when you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MildKat Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Yes, Sledge's WildKat looks like a good deal. I should have looked here first!! I'm afraid my guitar budget is used up for a while. Otherwise, owning 2 WildKats makes perfect sense to me!! Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKitten Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I also prefer the Wildkat to the Casino, just on looks alone. My local guitar store is selling IBJL Casinos for half price right now and I'm like "meh, who cares, I already got a Wildkat..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MildKat Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 BKitten, yes, you already have a WildKat, and, to my eyes, a great looking one, too. If I'd had my choices, I think I would have chosen black. I'm not unhappy with the natural, though. I'm just unhappy that it isn't here yet! Ha!
