Wildwood Guitars • Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child Signature Stratocaster • SN: VC0566
We can talk until we're blue in the face about the plethora of reasons why Jimi Hendrix was the greatest player to ever strap on a Strat. No one has ever matched his blend of virtuosic instrumental prowess, intense emotional expression, Picasso-level attention to the colors and hues in his music, and masterful songwriting, but what really puts him head and shoulders above the rest of every other six-string slinger is his universal appeal. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, loves Jimi Hendrix.
Case in point: Ian Mackaye and Stevie Ray Vaughan could not be more different as people or guitarists. Mackaye was the singer and guitarist in legendary post-hardcore band Fugazi (a group about as far removed from the psychedelic rock of the seventies as humanly possible) while SRV was perhaps the greatest master of electric blues since Hendrix himself. Despite their immense musical, philosophical, geographic, and stylistic differences, both listed Hendrix as their favorite guitarist of all time by a wide margin.
So, it doesn't matter if you're a punk in a leather jacket laden with safety pins, a metalhead in a Motorhead shirt, a jazz cat with an expensive hat, a classic rocker with a closet full of vintage concert tees, or a regular 'ol non-musician who listens to whatever's on the radio: chances are, if someone asks you who your favorite guitarist is, Hendrix is going to be one of the first names out of your mouth. If you ever ask someone this question and they DON'T drop Jimi's name, report them to the authorities immediately, because they are not to be trusted, and are probably a lizard person or alien in disguise.
Facetiousness aside, Hendrix's music seems to resonate with every single human being on a molecular level, and it is hard to quantify how or why. His singular style of guitar playing has a way of forcibly grabbing you by the heart and making you feel all sorts of emotions that don't really have names, and that's the sort of voodoo that defies complete explanation. The reason that no one can replicate his guitar style is simple: more so than any amp or guitar, the contents of his spirit were the key to his magic Spanish castle of sound.

Fender Custom Shop 2019 Limited Roasted 1960 Stratocaster SN CZ542130
"Wildwoodians, we have a real treat for your eyes and ears today: the NAMM Limited Roasted 1960 Stratocaster. As its name implies, this sweet Strat has a roasted maple neck with a dark tint that looks fabulous with the AAA rosewood fretboard. But, the benefits aren't just cosmetic: roasted necks tend to impart a bit of woody vintage clarity and ringing sustain. Speaking of sustain, three hand-wound Ancho Poblano pickups put out some serious heat! The bridge pickup stings like a habanero, the middle pickup brings the heat like a jalapeno, and the neck pickup is warm like a bowl of chili. It also feels great thanks to its wider-than-normal 12" radius, which makes bending notes much easier. We're proud to present the 1960 Roasted Stratocaster. Once you take one for a spin, we're sure you'll be delighted by its fiery sounds.

Fender Custom Shop Wildwood 10 1955 Stratocaster - Journeyman Relic SN R96324
Fender first introduced the Stratocaster in 1954, but they didn't really hit their stride until 1955 when they locked in the perfect formula for optimum sonic horsepower and good looks. The Wildwood 10 1955 Stratocasters pay homage to these legendary original Strats by replicating crucial details like the one-ply pickguard, dot inlays, resonant ash bodies, and maple necks. Many have also been lovingly relic'd by the masterful Custom Shop team, so they have oodles of vintage vibe. Nevertheless, they feel every bit as good as any modern guitar thanks to their Wildwood-exclusive 10" radius and 6105 frets. We invite you to experience the new-age comfort and fifties mojo of the Wildwood 10 1955 Stratocaster. Once you do, we're sure you'll fall head over heels in love.

Rock and roll, rockabilly, and country music were all taking off, and the Fender Telecaster was at the epicenter of it all. Our Wildwood 10 1955 Telecasters are an homage to the Telecasters that rolled off the line and into the hands of thousands of guitar players during the mid-1950s. They feature resonant ash bodies, period-correct neck shapes, hand-wound Custom Shop electronics, and maple necks. But they also feature our dealer-exclusive 10" radius and narrow-tall 6105 frets for comfortable modern handfeel. So, you get the best of both worlds: all the fabulous fifties Fender tone you can handle AND modern playability. Please keep drooling to a minimum as you browse our many Wildwood 10 1955 Telecasters.

Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Wildwood 10 1955 Telecaster by Greg Fessler SN R100828.mp4
THE GUITAR IN THIS VIDEO HAS SOLD!
Sonic Evaluation
From Greg Koch......Greg Fessler has done it again! This Wildwood 10 '55 Tele is a truly magnificent beast. It has the same snappy response time you'd expect from a Masterbuitl Tele, but it sounds uncommonly huge and sonorous. In the bridge position, the midrange is quite rich with overtones, and so are the trebles, but the lows are nice and tight. In other words, it's the perfect sound for chunking away on chords! Bright, sizzling lead lines also have more depth than normal. The neck pickup is also a delight. It has fat, round lows to go with broad, vocal midrange and lively, open highs. Expressive lead lines and fat rhythm tones for days! This fearsome Fessler would make an excellent addition to the quiver of any player seeking a beefy-sounding Tele!
