Poem - Epiphone WildKat Electric Guitar

Poem - Epiphone WildKat Electric Guitar


I played guitar for many years.

After suffering a stroke, I lost all ability to play.

I am now relearning.

After purchasing a Strat, an Ibanez and a Johnson acoustic, I found they were too difficult to play.

When I saw the Wildcat I was knocked out.

When I put it in my hands, things started coming back.

Beautiful tones, beautiful looks, silky smooth to play.

Like marrying a beautiful woman who can sing, cook,hunt and fish.

Like butter in your hands, effortless to play.

And the tone is incredible.


I play through a 1 12" Bedrock tube amp and it sounds better than ever.

No noise, no buzz, no rattles.

The logo plate was loose when I got the guitar but I tightened the 3 screws and it's fine.

The wiggle bar is great for adding expression but not made

for dive bombing,

you will go out of tune.

I could see making some slight modifications down the road

(replacing the nut)

but I believe I can live with it as is for quite a while.

Ask Santa for one. You won't be disappointed!


I'm a 73 yr. young picker, but with short fingers and small hands.

The action is as good as it gets.

The sounds create what you want.

Craftsmanship is as good as any Gibson model.
