’67 Wildcat

PHOTOS: Checked Olympic white nitro over Alder. Quartersawn maple with rosewood. Reverse headstock. Noiseless custom DiMarzio pickups designed by Steve Blucher. Precision machined components including the awesome trem (patented, patents pending).

“Outside in the cold distance
a wildcat did growl
two riders were approaching
and the wind begin to howl.”
(Dylan/Hendrix)

“Dude I used the ’67 guitar for a Hendrix show. Fucking thing absolutely decimated. 14 and a half minutes that song was. Wailing on the trem. By the end it was still in tune. Crazy!” (Joe Cirotti)
