EpiphoneFan1989 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hey my friends, i´m here after a long time. I´m still busy with my relocation to my new residence. Okay, back to topic. Some of you know, that I want to buy a Casino. But no store close to me have it in the line up. Now, Epiphone was make a price reduction for the Wildkat. Because of that the Wildkat is very interesting for me. It´s a semi hollow with P90´s and has a Bigsby. But I can´t find it in stores too.... Because of that I can´t make a test with this guitars before buying. :( My birthday is in two weeks and I want to buy one of these guitars. The price of the Wildkat is unbeatable. What do you think about it? I want to order it in the next days. Is it worth the money? Thank you. Sorry for my bad english in this posting. Long texts are not my cup of tea.

Dennis G Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've had my Wildkat for 6 months or so and love it. It's about the best "bang for the buck" guitar in my collection. I also have an Elitist Casino that I love, but it cost me 3X what the Kat did!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpiphoneFan1989 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thanks, that helps me a lot. Is the Kat good for lead sounds and treble picking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sada Yairi Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The Wildkat is a sweet and versatile unit. I've only just bought mine, after months of trying different guitars and finally deciding. Nothing else in a semi-hollow came close to the Wildkat's price, versatility, looks and tone. I had trouble getting one also - there was only one in the whole of Sydney that I could find to play, and when I decided to buy it that one I tried had been sold so I ended up getting one shipped from a city about 1000km away. So far (only in a short time) I've found the Wildkat great for blues and rock music. In terms of finger picking it depends on what you do. If you're talking about very advanced stuff, where you position the guitar like it's a classical (up on your left thigh etc), then the small body of the Wildkat is not ideal (I prefer my Dot for that sort of music). But if it's just for normal rock-type finger picking, then the Wildkat will do it fine. The p90s also work well for that. And it also works well for lead because it's a small light body that doesn't have feedback problems like some of the larger semi-hollows can have.

Dennis G Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 What Sada said, plus it's a *****in' Rockabilly guitar too! Edit: okay, given the current cold temperature here regarding censorship, I'll rephrase my original description, which you may be able to decipher as slang (uh, begins with a "b"). It's a really, really sweet Rockabilly guitar too! If Mod's et al have any issues with this post, feel free to delete. Not trying to instigate, etc. just explaining my original response.
