The WildOne is the first guitar ever designed by Wild Ju at the early stage of the company. Over the past few years, we’ve built different versions of the WildOne, using different construction methods (neck through body, set neck, bolt-on-neck, carved top, flat top, german carved top…), different scales (24’5″, 25’5″, 25″, barytone), different tone woods (maple, mahogany, walnut, swamp ash…) and obviously different finishes.
When we’ve been talking about producing our WildOne in series we’ve decided to bring it back to the essential : an unmistakable vintage character and enough power for almost any application.
To make a long story short we want it Rock’n’Roll!
CONSTRUCTION METHOD
This construction method is a variation of the traditional thinline construction. A steel plate is set on top of an half chambered body. The steel top brings round metallic sonorities to the instrument.
GOOD WOOD = GOOD TONE
A lot of attention is paid to source premium quality wood for all our instruments.
The body is made in mahogany. It is a fine grained wood with great musical properties. The tone is warm and full with good sustain. The mahogany is associated with some of the most famous rock music of our time.
The neck is made in maple (Canada), a very hard, heavy and dense wood. The tone is very bright with long sustain and a lot of bite.
