Manufacturer's Description from Gibson Guitars

Wildwood Guitars is honored to present the latest iteration of the Wildwood Spec Les Paul! You don’t just see the difference–you FEEL it, too. Obsessively perfect, ultra-accurate aesthetic appointments compliment stellar finish options like aniline-dyed 1-piece mahogany backs, historically accurate deluxe Kluson tuners, and gorgeous maple tops to create instruments that look and feel vintage. Additionally, they’ve given each guitar a historically accurate serial number to complete the historically-accurate presentation. These powerhouses are driven by two proprietary Wildwood Spec pickups that deliver a vintage-accurate tone with unparalleled clarity, sweetness and articulation. We couldn’t be happier to partner with our friends at the Gibson Custom Shop to write the next chapter in the Wildwood Spec story, and we are thrilled to present these magical Gibson Custom masterpieces to the Wildwood Family!

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
