This is an exquisite guitar! A true piece of art… The sound this would make is just not the same sound you can get these days.. This alone or with tones of distortion, a wha wha or just about anything would have the sound your looking for but with a vintage beauty to it. What would a guitar like this be worth? I am very intrigued by this and have “something shinny syndrome” or something because its something i must have!

Wow. That looks very much like my Wildcat bass mentioned elsewhere on this site.

I don’t think I’ve seen a Wildcate without the big ‘bite’ taken out of it on the bottom bout opposite to the pickguard.

Excellent post!
My sole guitar is a cutaway version of the Wildcat. It’s also in excellent condition, but being an aged gal, it’s got such character.
I love that the Wildcat was Mick Harvey’s guitar for so long.
I had it set up by Cargill’s and now it’s just so playable and the electrics have cleaned up beautifully – contacts were a bit noisy before.

Any idea what sort of price was agreed for this one posted?

I have a Wildcat in this exact same condition (possibly even a little better) in the exact same matching hard-case, except mine is the cutaway version. My stepdad bought it for me about 25 years ago from a pal of his for about $400. Anyone have any idea what it could be worth these days?

Hey aaron I would love to see pics of yours and talk to you about it… MY email is [email protected] Cheers

Hi Greg,

It’s currently at my parents place in Melbourne (I’m in Sydney). I’m going to be there in a couple of weeks, so will take some pics when I’m there and email them through to you.

Anyone have any idea what this one went for?

Thanks Aaron Email me now if you like so I have your email not going to my spam filter 🙂

I’ve only seen two of these ever, both with the ‘bite’. One was owned by a some pro player in the seventies (name forgotten) but his dad told me that he bought it new for $375.00 with his tax return…The other one I saw in a shop in Melbourne in eighties for $350.00. I stupidly didn’t buy it….I missed buying another ‘classic’ in the same shop in the nineties…I never learn…

I owned one for years and I’m here to tell you they’re not that great.

Nice, but nothing to write home about.

Guy in my band Legends of Motorsport plays one of these…has a non-original pickup, the body ‘bite’ and is pretty much the sound of our band (when pushed through a Russian Big Muff and a bass amp). Have tried other guitars but nothing else has the same gnarly mid character as this baby. Never knew what the model was.

I have one! It’s the best guitar in the world. No bite, pick guard slightly different shape. Weird this has a bolted beck: mine is set.

I bought one directly from the manufacture in Canterbury from memory , Around 1976 .Just an amazing depth of tone and the quality of the finish .Like a young fool i swapped for a 12 string acoustic .Truely regretible .Are there any still around .
