Wow. Did it make you saw wow?

That guitar probably wouldn't suit my style, but I'm sure it sounds beautiful in the right hands. That thing is a piece of art.

Sadly, the reason that thing is in such good shape is that it was such a piece of crap guitar that it was never played.
Sorry, and I have played Fenders all my life, still do.

The first thing CBS did to Fender. Expansion has worked out so well for them.

Actually, thanks for this. Now I don't want it so hard.

I was wondering why the price looked so reasonable...

Isn't the Wildwood series the one where they use wood that has had dye injected into the live tree before harvest?

Ayup

No, I think they give the raw bodies and a case of Sharpie markers to Mrs. Mergatroid's 2nd grade art class and let them have-at-it.

Hahahaha, excellent description.

Another gimmick dies and is forgotten.

I recall coming across a Coronado in a pawn shop and as soon as I played it the wow factor just vanished.

Ah, the 70s. That idea reminds me of the "flocking" automotive finish - i think it was popular for the entirety of 1973. Horrible, horrible....you could spend all day with an air file and 36 grit and not make a dent in it.
