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!
This Wildone is powered by a calibrated set of Seymour Duncan SH-1 SH-4
MADE IN WILD
Our guitars are 100% made in France. We believe in the true artisanal values and all our instruments are handcrafted the old fashion way in our workshop.
Our only goal is to deliver premium quality instruments and everything is designed, crafted, painted, wired, set, tuned in France.
TONEWOOD / WILDONE
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 (Khaya Senegal). 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.
SET-IN NECK
A set neck transfers the resonance between neck and body more freely and immediately than does a bolt-on neck. The result is usually heard as a little more warmth and fullness in the set-neck guitar. This thicker, fatter sound is often sort out by heavy blues and rock’n’roll afficionados.
24-3/4″ Scale
The Gibson 24-3/4″ scale is one of the most common guitar scale length. Being shorter than the Fender 25-1/2″ scale, the Gibson 24-3/4″ scale has a lower tension/easier to play feel, and a warmer tone.
24-3/4″ = 629mm
