docmeister53 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Well the Wildkat I have been agonizing over arrived today - earlier than I had expected. Gorgeous - but for some reason, the natural finish looks yellow in all my pictures. I know also appreciate some of the comments people have made about the fit and finish. The volume and tone knobs were a little crooked but easily fixed. You can see the wires in one of the f holes, but I think I can tuck them away. Not quite what I expected. I don't want to sound like a snob, but I have been spoiled by my Gibson LP and Fender Custom Strat. However.... It does play well and has an awesome tone. And the price was right. I also would recommend the eBay dealer who sold it. Great to deal with, prompt shipping and despite being listed as a demo, was actually new in box... Thanks to all who helped me with this decision. Still think a Casino is in my future, but might hold out until I can afford, and justify, a Gibson Lucille.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No used stamp so I don't think it was a second either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanH Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Congrats, Docmeister! I didn't have the same finish issues with mine (maybe as it is Korean) but, as you say...........an easy fix. I'm sure you will most definitely enjoy that 'kat! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
